As I write this, our multistate legal coalition is preparing to head into court to challenge President Trump’s illegal “dirty power plan.”
President Trump’s own Environmental Protection Agency reported that if he eliminated President Obama’s Clean Power Plan and replaced it with his own proposal, thousands of Americans would be injured or killed. He did it anyway.
So we took him to court.
President Trump’s illegal action is a shameless giveaway to the fossil fuel industry. It is a thinly-veiled attempt to loosen restrictions on coal power plants. It increases air pollution and causes harm to the health and well-being of Washingtonians. It does nothing to combat the existential threat of climate change.
My legal team has defeated President Trump’s Environmental Protection Agency in court seven times already — and we plan to win this case as well.
Washingtonians need clean air. I will hold the president and his administration accountable every time they attempt to evade the law and put the interests of the fossil fuel industry above Washingtonians.
