Much of the opposition to the Trump Admin’s efforts to end a successful emissions reporting program is from industry groups & GOP members of Congress, per @dcexaminer look at public comments. That's because ending it puts companies at competitive disadvantage. Read more:
Oil & gas firms, energy industry orgs, & even a Republican Senator are breaking w/ the Trump admin over its latest climate rollback, urging the EPA to keep its Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program. Will the calls from the fossil fuel industry be enough? https://t.co/Fn9x70meih

While Republicans have backed Trump's climate rollbacks, many are now breaking with the administration and urging EPA to reverse course.

Enviro orgs are encouraged by the support, w/ @EnvDefenseFund's Sean Hackett telling me: “The big benefit is that it provides that consistent federal baseline so companies don’t face a patchwork of state and voluntary programs which could increase their costs and uncertainty."

One notable comment: “The importance of a robust and consistent federal greenhouse gas reporting framework cannot be overstated,” Natural gas producer BKV Corporationaid “It serves as the backbone for ensuring data quality, market integrity, and international credibility...”

We took a closer look at many of the public comments submitted with the EPA in the last month, many of which warned that ending the program would increase reporting burdens, threaten global market access, and threaten access to recently expanded tax credits.

Actually, @marykbruce is a nice person and an excellent and fearless reporter. So quick to anger on this topic, Mr President! You called a different woman reporter asking another legitimate question about Epstein a “piggy.” This topic seems to make you quite mad!
Reporter: Mr. President, why wait for congress to release the Epstein files? Why not just do it now? Trump: It's not the question that I mind. It's your attitude… I think the license should be taken away from ABC. We have a great commissioner, a chairman who should look at

To better understand Texas’ persistent rural maternal care crisis, I went to Olney, a small town 100 miles west of Fort Worth. Thanks to wind farms, the town is gaining a new hospital - but losing the ability to deliver babies. https://t.co/FTuf0nPmC4

Olney Hamilton Hospital joins the nearly 60% of rural Texas hospitals that do not deliver babies, leaving large swaths of the state without a nearby place to give birth.
