So you think that Scott Pruitt's EPA is going to protect us? And you think that humongous extractive energy corporations don't control the debate, write the laws, staff regulatory agencies, and manipulate the courts? And you think that a carbon fee is a revolutionary program?

The carbon fee has been proposed by conservatives and is about the most corporate-friendly approach to this problem imaginable. It might even work.

And it would certainly give NG an edge over coal, just not over renewables, which are much cleaner, even if you don't figure in the enormous air and water pollution undeniably caused by fracking.

About the rest of it, your assumption that Trump's EPA, corporate appointees on regulatory agencies generally, and the always pay-for-play courts will protect us from toxic water and air . . . you don't really believe that do you?
