Dear Editor:
The open comment window for the Pruitt-led EPA’s intentions to repeal our Clean Power Plan expires on Jan. 16, 2018.
For the public, this means that we are in a limited time window in which public opinions on the idea are welcome, and if any of us want to stand up for the Clean Power Plan, its compliance with the Paris Agreement and emissions-reduction public health benefits, we need to do while there is still time.
