power plan, i was very happy that he did do that. i'm an energy engineer by ackground and now we have the administration, president trump, wants to pull back the clean think that is i really not right to do for the country because i don't believe it is possible have our coal power plants have the proper to prevent all the bad products that can come out of of all the coal power plants that are releasing nto our atmosphere, that is going to eechtually enter all of our lungs, i know people cannot a lot of these very particles, you c know, mercury and things like that. my example, for example, in city, new york city, we have our has a powerlity who

plant, they use diesel fuel in burroughs that nand asthma and breathing problems for the citizens of burrough, that is just one example and even the amount of hat they want to do, the current administration with the e.p.a., there will not be enough the companiesn if clean y will install power plant emission control quipment, who is going to verify and validate the systems are installed so the exhaust air going through the atmosphere and the diluted water that the going to our streams will be properly monitored, i be done.ieve it will i feel really bad for the american people that we're not able to have the kind of air we should be breathing. c-span, for taking my
