Litigation Aimed at Environmental Protection

The environmental action group One5c.com points out that Trump’s efforts to trash our planet so as to benefit the fossil fuel industry are often unsuccessful. They write:

The good news is that climate and public health advocates have been keeping a close eye on things, including moves that can be challenged in court. During Trump’s first term, states and environmental groups filed hundreds of lawsuits against the administration, and the vast majority were successful, including a suit that spurred the courts to strike down a Trump policy called the Affordable Clean Energy rule that would have increased carbon pollution at many coal-fired power plants.

Another piece of good news is that progressives, by their very nature, are tenacious; we tend not to give up in tough times like these.
