Pruitt, abusing the EPA, launches war on clean air

After noting on Friday - - and amplified on Urban Milwaukee - - that US EPA administrator Scott Pruitt was a couple of years behind Wisconsin's polluter-enabling Attorney General Brad Schimel in appointing a coal industry insider to a top agency post, Pruitt said he will do tomorrow what Boss Trump wants and declare the war [Sic] against coal is over.

Breathe easy King Coal. The rest of us, not so much, though the good news is that utilities - - even in Texas - - are making the move away from coal for economic and environmental reasons.
