I can't believe this bill is trying to get rid of the EPA rule for air pollutants from coal and oil plants. This is so bad for the environment and our health. Why would they want to make the air we breathe even more toxic? It's just not right. We need to protect our planet and our health, not put them at risk for the sake of profit. This bill is a disaster waiting to happen. Did you know that this bill could potentially increase the amount of harmful pollutants in the air we breathe? It's a scary thought.
