Definitely readers should educate themselves on the pros and cons of Secretary Pruitt’s mission for EPA. I would summarize Pruitt’s mission as an effort to evaluate environmental policy without past political preconceptions or misinformation. Truly he had a formidable task. So much has happened in the field of energy in the last 10 years that what is good for us now is not necessarily the same as what some thought good for America 10 years ago. How fortunate to be out of the Paris Peace Accord, an unrealistic document, and one that would give others’ control of our environmental policy. We should not surrender our liberty or our economic well-being without reason to others — others whose goals may be vastly different than ours.
