Letter: Pulling out of Paris accord should cost Trump

Dear Sens. Murray and Cantwell and Rep. Newhouse:

Donald J. Trump pulling out of the Paris climate agreement was greed on the highest scale. We have to protect our planet regardless of what selfish, wealthy people demand.

This planet belongs to everyone and everything that lives on it. For that reason, I am asking you to oppose any and all nominations Trump has for the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. Please continue to defy Donald Trump and all his nominations to the bitter end. Trump for Prison 2017!

Ric Melton, Kennewick
