News and Observer Op-ed: Trump Can Order, but Federal Judges Will Decide on Climate Rules
Center for Progressive Reform 2017-04-07
Summary:
President Trump's new "energy" executive order is an attempt to roll back Obama regulations on climate change, and even make considerations of climate change disappear from much of the policymaking process altogether. That's quite a lot to accomplish by executive order, and despite all the media attention he got for it, the president is eventually going to discover that he can't eradicate climate realities from federal consideration with the stroke of a pen.
