EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler touted plastics made in the United States as less damaging to the environment than those made in other countries like China, as he travelled with President Donald Trump Tuesday to an ethylene cracker under construction in western Pennsylvania.
"This facility will use American natural gas, which is obtained in the most environmentally conscious way, to produce American-made plastics, instead of relying on imports from China and others, which has a far greater impact on the environment," Wheeler said in a statement. "The president's policies are unleashing America's abundant energy resources and creating new jobs, new products, and new hope here in Pennsylvania and across the country."
