We're still not creating jobs at a rate sufficient to get more Americans back to work, and there is a negative correlation between environmental regulation and economic growth. But such details have never stood in this administration's way of pursuing their agenda.

We have been doing much better than the rest of the western world in jobs creation.

Environmental issues cannot be placed on the back burner for too long.

Dispite all the propaganda of the greed is good community people are more knowledgeable re the environs.

Check Turkey: The government wanted to take away the little green space in the city to give it to business. Yes, and to provide jobs. :D

I'll bet this is just part of a broader administration package that includes opening up the Keystone pipeline. He'll thereby throw a bone to Labor (in favor of the pipeline) and environmentalists (in favor of Green energy).

It's just the pendelum swinging. After eight years of drill baby drill and deregulation of everything, we are seeing smarter heads prevail finally.
