Trump's Environment EO Blows Itself Out of the Water

Two provisions in Trump's recent Executive Order on the environment contradict everything he tried to accomplish in it.

(d)  It further is the policy of the United States that, to the extent permitted by law, all agencies should take appropriate actions to promote clean air and clean water for the American people, while also respecting the proper roles of the Congress and the States concerning these matters in our constitutional republic.

(e)  It is also the policy of the United States that necessary and appropriate environmental regulations comply with the law, are of greater benefit than cost, when permissible, achieve environmental improvements for the American people, and are developed through transparent processes that employ the best available peer-reviewed science and economics.

IOW, Trump has logic-bombed himself, as they describe it at TV Tropes, and his head will soon be exploding.

Trump: This policy is non-actionable.

Both of these policies are firmly established in Federal law and Supreme Court decisions, and they do not permit a President* to override them, especially when cited in the same text. So we have to use clean, less expensive renewables rather than coal, and we have to accept the science. The courts will, no matter how Trump blusters. Therefore

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

to borrow a phrase from Bubbanomics.
