New EPA adminstrator draws applause, criticism in ‘back to basics’ coal visit

摘要

EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt told a group of coal miners in Pennsylvania that the days of choosing between the environment and job growth are over now that Donald Trump is president. Pruitt visited the Harvey mine, operated by CNX Coal Resources LP, April 13 to speak with coal miners in order to kick off the EPA’s Back-to-Basics agenda. In video of the event tweeted by an E&E News reporter, Pruitt said he has traveled the country and found companies are committed to being good stewards of the environment.
