I think this is particularly dumb that the Acting EPA Administrator Wheeler is claiming that none of the regulatory rollbacks are going to affect health when EPA's own analysis of its Clean Power Plan says between 470 and 1,400 premature deaths are expected by this plan due to ozone-related causes and other factors by 2030.

I think this is particularly dumb that the Acting EPA Administrator Wheeler is claiming that none of the regulatory rollbacks are going to affect health when EPA's own analysis of its Clean Power Plan says between 470 and 1,400 premature deaths are expected by this plan due to ozone-related causes and other factors by 2030.
