Today's MOZEN: FOR THE SAKE OF OUR CHILDREN!!!

F LoBuono

Hal Quinn, head of the National Mining Association, charged in a statement Friday that the Obama administration had carried out “perhaps the largest regulatory accounting fraud perpetrated on American consumers” when it calculated that the broad health benefits to Americans would outweigh the cost of equipment upgrades by power providers. *

This was a statement released in response to the Trump Administration's efforts to further rescind Obama era regulations on environmental protections.* Specifically, it targets a 2011 Obama Administration rule known as The Mercury and Air Toxic Standards which led to the clean-up of Mercury and other toxins from coal fired power plants. Utility companies claimed the process cost them $18 billion. Environmental groups claim the effort has reduced Mercury emissions from coal-fired plants by 85%, drastically reducing the potential for Mercury poisoning which is responsible for causing brain damage and other developmental disabilities in children. **

Now, read Mr. Quinn's statement again.

Forgive the harsh language, but are you FUCKING KIDDING ME?! He just said OUR CHILDREN ARE NOT WORTH THE COST!!!!

This industry hack, a lobbyist whose sole mission is to seek profits for his industry - AT ANY HUMAN COST - is willing to sacrifice the health and future of OUR children, ALL of them, for the sake of a fucking dollar!

I don't feel I need to say any more that this:

SHAME ON YOU Mr. QUINN, THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION, AND ANYONE WHO CONTINUES TO SUPPORT THIS DANGEROUS REGIME.
