Episode Notes

In the third and final episode on Trump's "America First Energy Plan" hosts Jeannie Oliver and Mason Overstreet examine the wide variety of regulations that protect our water, air, land and public health. In an effort to put industry first, is the Trump administration ultimately putting environment last?
