Darrell Issa, who really made a name for himself simply hating on Obama for eight years, admitted that while coal companies really should lessen their impact on the environment, his real problem with the regulation was the timing... http://www.cnn.com/2017/02/02/politics/darrell-issa-obama-coal/index.html Also note that now it will require congressional legislation to reinstall similar water protection and of course, since we have a republican congress in place that is anti-environment and pro-polluters we won't see that any time soon. Drink up republicans...
