Trump: Scott Pruitt Wants Clear Air and Water

‘We have a tremendous person that we put in charge of EPA, Scott Pruitt who is an environmental person’

TRUMP: "Hydro-power is a great great form of power. We don’t even talk about it because to get the environmental permits are virtually impossible. It's one of the best things you can do -- hydro. But we don't talk about it anymore. So we’ve come to a halt. We have a tremendous person that we put in charge of EPA, Scott Pruitt who is an environmental person. He wants clean air, he wants clean water but doesn’t think it takes you 26 years to get a permit to build a building and to have jobs; at which time those companies are usually gone, out of business, etc. So we’re really speeding up the process. We're gonna try to take that process from a minimum of ten years down to one year. I say can’t we make it four months? Can we do it in four months? There is a certain logic to that but we’ll be satisfied with a year but it won’t are any more than a year. So we have to build roads, we have to build highways."
