Trump's EPA Budget Details Announced

Trump's draft EPA budget: a love letter to Big Energy Become a monthly donor to help us fight back every day for wildlife, for your health, and for the health of our families. GIVE MONTHLY >> Dear Larry - Trump's draft EPA budget is in -- and it's one giant, water-poisoning, coal ash-spilling, asthma-inducing love letter to his Big Energy cronies. The truly draconian document puts wildlife and human health in serious jeopardy by (among other things): Halting the Clean Power Plan and its first-ever carbon emissions limits on dirty, coal-fired power plants. Decimating the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, which protects the planet's largest freshwater source, by slashing its funding from $300 million to $10 million. Threatening the Chesapeake Bay, the country's largest estuary, by cutting funding for monitoring and compliance with environmental laws from $73 million to $5 million. Stripping funding for toxic cleanup in communities contaminated by industrial waste.
