So hear I am trying to absorb what just happened today on the Senate floor.  Scott Pruitt, Oklahoma Attorney General and fossil fuel advocate, was confirmed as EPA Secretary.  This even though the thousands of emails between him and the fossil fuel industry leaders, including the Koch brothers, will not be available until next Tuesday.

Pruitt is a man who accepted well over $300,000 in contributions from the fossil fuel industry and actually sued the EPA more than 13 times. He clearly is on the wrong side of the war on climate change and has no interest in any environmental protections.  Almost 800 former EPA staffers signed a letter opposing him.  But none of this matters to a Republican Senate majority.  BTW, what is happening to Manchin.  He has been voting with the Republicans on almost everything.

To add insult to injury, the so called president signed an executive order rolling back President Obama's executive order keeping the coal industry from dumping toxic waste into our waterways. Unfortunately, I think we will see much more of this.  I am so sad for our kids and grand kids.
