President Donald Trump signed executive orders and new legislation this week that repealed much of President Obama’s environmental legacy.

Trump eliminated the Clean Power Plan (CPP) as well as rules and regulations from several different federal agencies that had been implemented as part of Obama’s environmentalist agenda.

“We fully expected the Clean Power Plan to be overturned, but were surprised at the breadth of the Executive Order,” Kathleen Sgamma, vice president for government at the Western Energy Alliance, told The Daily Caller News Foundation. “It comprehensively clears out some of the regulatory overreach of the Obama Administration that was about greater federal control in the guise of environmental protection.”

“Repealing those rules requires months if not years of rule-making and the inevitable follow-on litigation before they will be completely gone,” Sgamma continued.

There are plenty more things to be done, but these are high profile, high impact repeals, and some of the good things done by this administration.
They range from shutting down environmental regulations to approving Keystone XL to simplifying BLM (Bureau of Land Management) rules and permitting processes in the way of everything from hunting in Alaska to permitting natural gas gathering pipelines, to relieving excessive stack regulations for power plants and regs designed to kill the coal industry.

It is a lot, but I'm with you in that it is a good START.

It's still a target rich environment. Maybe he can get the phone records from the NSA and come up with a 'wish list' (of pen and phone acts) of things to overturn. The Congress could solidify that, too, by enacting legislation to keep it so instead of leave it to being governed by fiat and agency.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
