EPA chief: Destroying the coal industry ‘not a scary thing to do’

From the Daily Camera’s report on Gina McCarthy’s CU-Boulder speech:

But she voiced satisfaction at going to work for a president whom she believes has the right priorities on climate change, and is not buying into the “false choice” of supporting environmental remedies or boosting the economy.

“I am working for a president who gets it and is going to force the issue by taking action that is common sense, that you people have taken, that has worked out very well for local communities across the U.S., that helps advance our clean energy agenda, that helps advance our national security agenda, that helps grow jobs,” McCarthy said.

She added: “We’re going to do this this year, next year, the following year, until people understand that these are not scary things to do, these are actions we can all do, they are actions that benefit everybody, they are actions that will grow the economy, and they are actions that protect the health and safety of the planet and the individuals on the planet that we live on.” [Emphasis added]
