Trump is so Different From Obama

There is such a vast difference between Obama and Trump and you can see it all in how different their policies are. Trump is all about big businesses and could care less about the big picture in how big business in their ever long standing quest for more profits that he and big business could care less about who or what they destroy in the process from people’s careers to the environment that we ALL need to keep clean to have healthy lives. An example is the situation over the water supply all over the nation and the safety from toxins due to big business pollution.

Take Memphis, Tennessee that is known for much more than Elvis. It is known to have the best tasting and sweetest water in America. The reason the water is so clean is because it is pumped up from deep in the earth in a underground lake known as the Sand Aquifer. A big portion of that underground lake has water that is over 2,000 years old. It is old enough to have never experienced the run off of pollutants from pesticides, oil, carbon and pharmaceuticals that get dumped in our water daily. The water is pure. Above the underground lake is a portion of clay followed by run off polluted water from a coal power plant. There is toxic residues from the coal plant. The TVA, Tennessee Valley Authority manages the pure underground water as well as the toxic water above ground.

The TVA wanted to pump up the clean water to cool down the toxic power plants. That is a problem because it is a good chance that the pumps could fail and toxic water can go down and contaminate the thousands of year old great water below. Environmentalists and scientists and archaeologists were worried that this catastrophe could happen. The Obama Administration listened and respected the knowledge and wisdom of environmental professionals and listened to them. He wrote the Coal Ash Rule that mandated that the TVA had a network of monitoring devices to see that the pumps always pumped up. He even closed down the operation down and always expressed his wish to close down unsafe ash filled black lung toxic plants in favor of clean solar, wind and water power.

Trump fired environmental professionals. Destroyed Obama policies. Gave big toxic businesses tax breaks. Ender environmental regulations for big business. The plants are open again and the toxins are contaminating the good old age pure water in Tennessee. Testing has been done to reveal that the clay around the good water has been contaminated with arsenic at levels 400 times higher than the EPA's standards during the Obama regulated era. Yes, this damage has been done in just over a year of the Trump Administration’s ignorant policies that is careless and motivated by big business greed for the few very rich folks.

Because of these new results the Tennessee Department of Conservation got big business to at least shut off the pumps while they continue to dig for dirty coal. It has been revealed that now there is extensive ground water contamination across the nation’s ground water supplies. Despite our war on cancer, people are continually suffering from cancer due to contaminants entering our bodies. Despite of Obama’s success with his Coal Ash Rule policy that WAS cleaning up the environment, Trump wishes to erase Obama’s legacy and is trying to abolish the rule. Trump’s proposed changes to the rule will be that coal companies will NO longer have to post the results of their monitoring to the public. Hence, they could say and do whatever they want to on the subject. They don’t even have to bother to clean up contamination.

Trump is a dangerous problem for this country in so many ways.
