    Statements on Trump's Rollback of the Clean Power Plan & Other Clean

    Statements on Trump’s Rollback of the Clean Power Plan & Other Clean Air Protections On March 28, 2017, President Trump signed an executive order that directs the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to weaken a range of important public heath protections, including steps to revoke the Clean Power Plan, America’s first-ever nationwide standards to reduce dangerous carbon pollution from power plants. Immediately after the President signed the executive order, an extraordinarily broad and diverse group of states, power companies, businesses, health and environmental groups, scientists, and both U.S. and international thought leaders publically spoke out — some against President Trump’s attack on these vital public health safeguards, others to reiterate their continued commitment to clean energy, reducing carbon, or addressing climate change. * * * States and Cities Joint Statement of California Gov. Edmund G. Brown Jr. and New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo: "Dismantling the Clean Power Plan and other critical climate programs is profoundly misguided and shockingly ignores basic science. With this move, the Administration will endanger public health, our environment and our economic prosperity. “Climate change is real and will not be wished away by rhetoric or denial. We stand together with a majority of the American people in supporting bold actions to protect our communities from the dire consequences of climate change.” Joint statement with governors of California, Oregon, & Washington, and mayors of Los Angeles (CA), Oakland (CA), Portland (OR), San Francisco (CA), & Seattle (WA): “As the governors of Washington, Oregon and California and the mayors of Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Oakland and Los Angeles, we speak today in support of the Clean Power Plan.
