Huff and Puff Post?

Ya know that is fake news.

Now, what is something the EPA did to hammer poor people?

(Oh, yeah, this site clobbered internet explorer, Google Chrome had no problem with it.)

EPA To Alaskans In Sub-Zero Temps: Stop Burning Wood To Keep Warm

http://thefederalist.com/2016/12/30/epa-alaskans-sub-zero-temps-stop-burning-wood-keep-warm/

In Alaska’s interior, where it can reach -50 degrees Fahrenheit in winter, the EPA wants people to stop burning wood. But it's just about their only feasible way to stay warm.

. . .

The problem is, there’s no replacement for wood-burning stoves in Alaska’s interior. Heating oil is too expensive for a lot of people, and natural gas isn’t available. So they’ve got to burn something. The average low temperature in Fairbanks in December is 13 degrees below zero. In January, it’s 17 below. During the coldest days of winter, the high temperature averages -2 degrees, and it can get as cold as -60. This is not a place where you play games with the cold. If you don’t keep the fire lit, you die. For people of modest means, and especially for the poor, that means you burn wood in a stove—and you keep that fire lit around the clock.

>>>

There is more to the article, both before and after.
But, point to be made, for poor people in Alaska
burning wood is necessary to their very survival.
And O'bozo's EPA mandates would, literally, condemn
them to death.

No Protection For The Poor And Black As Trump Aims To Slash EPA

Trump’s deconstruction of the EPA stands to hit low-income communities of color the hardest.

...the line about low income communities of color getting hit the hardest is not mine. It is actually in the article.
