Bad air, bad water (unless you liked to catch carp, or enjoyed seeing a river catch fire). Took 35+ years to half-way clean up. Air still bad in the summer heat. Don't wanna go back, for my grandkids sake.

The EPA clean air, clean water and safe drinking water acts have accomplished more good I think than any other agency or law in the past 37 years.

Trump signed an executive order in March instructing the EPA to review those rules and revise or repeal them.
The order says it's the "policy of the United States to alleviate unnecessary regulatory burdens placed on the American people."
Trump specifically instructed the EPA to begin dismantling the Clean Power Plan, a sweeping Obama-era law designed to get 47 states to slash greenhouse-gas emissions from their coal plants.
