EPA chief says Donald Trump can’t revive fossil fuel industry: ‘Train has left the station’
By Ben Wolfgang, The Washington Times, Monday, November 21, 2016
EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy on Monday said President-elect Donald Trump will fail in his efforts to revitalize America’s sagging coal industry and put fossil fuels back at the center of the nation’s energy portfolio, taunting an incoming administration that is primed to roll back some of her agency’s initiatives.
During a speech in Washington, Ms. McCarthy — who presided over President Obama’s ambitious plan to phase out fossil fuels and rein in greenhouse gas emissions — said the “train has left the station” with regard to America’s move toward clean energy.
