It is disgusting to see that peopleβs health and wellbeing is being traded in to allow heavily polluting industries to make money. Coal power is the dirtiest form of energy and it should not be deregulated. We all benefit from cleaner air and cleaner water.

Exclusive: how NSF is scouring research grants for violations of Trumpβs orders
The US National Science Foundation has unfrozen grant funding, but it continues to scrutinize research projects, sowing turmoil.
NSF is still freezing grants and reviewing for potential clashes with trumps edicts: terms such asβbroadening participationβ language, foreign assistance, climate science, domestic energyβ all flagged. This is insane, career wrecking and damaging for quality science π‘π§ͺ
