Youtube online news: News on Youtube Aug 22 2018

Post Malone is thanking fans and friends for their outpouring of support following his plane's scary emergency landing

But the musician also has a message for his haters. "I landed guys. Thank you for your prayers

Can't believe how many people wished death on me on this website. F— you. But not today," he tweeted once safely on the ground in New York after circling for five hours

"They told us to get in position for landing," Malone's manager Dre London revealed on his Instagram Story as the 16 passengers finally prepared to deplane

"Landed safely guys. Been circling the air for hours but we're good. We're good

We landed safely. I heard it's all over the news and how crazy it is," London added

Upon arrival, Malone FaceTimed with TMZ, saying: "I hate flying in general. I don't even know what to say, man

I'm shook. One hell of a team on that aircraft. We're here. And we're here on Earth

" The "Psycho" singer jokingly added, "I need some beer. And I need some wine. At the same time, mixed together

" The Gulfstream Aerospace GLF-4 luxury jet took off on Tuesday from Teterboro Airport in New Jersey around 10:50 a

m., the FAA confirmed. Soon after, the pilot realized the tires had blown and began circling the airport

The plane was meant to fly to London Luton Airport in Luton, England for 23-year-old Malone's next show, but the incident prompted an emergency landing hours later not far from where it took off

That landing was initially expected to occur back at Teterboro Airport in New Jersey, but the FAA confirmed it diverted to Westfield Barnes Regional Airport in Springfield, Massachusetts before diverting again to Stewart International Airport in New Windsor, New York, as it burned off fuel for hours in anticipation of an emergency landing

The plane landed smoothly, although the left tires were clearly deflated. Though some posted negative comments regarding the incident, many fans expressed their relief after hearing the news that the plane had safely landed

"Thankful @PostMalone did not just die," The Hills star Spencer Pratt tweeted

Malone attended Monday's 2018 MTV Video Music Awards in New York City, where he took home song of the year and then hit the Radio City Music Hall stage for a show-closing performance with Aerosmith

"You go to bed and you dream about maybe winning and then whenever you get up here you don't remember what the hell to say," Malone said while accepting his award with 21 Savage, who guests on the song

"Thank you so much. Thank you to my family, thank you to my crew — everybody that was a part of the song

Thank you everybody for listening." He added, "Honestly, in a hundred million years I would never expect to do this ever, so this is sick

So thank you so much, guys, thank you so much." In May, the Syracuse, New York-born rapper broke the record for most simultaneous Top 20 Hot 100 songs, over both The Beatles and J

Cole. Malone's debut album, Stoney, featuring his breakthrough hit "White Iverson," is certified triple platinum

All 18 of the songs off of Post Malone's sophomore album beerbongs & bentleys— which is certified double platinum — landed on the Hot 100 charts earlier this year

Malone — né Austin Post — is next scheduled to perform Friday at the Reading Festival in Reading, England

How Much Money Do You ACTUALLY Need To Start Amazon FBA - Duration: 6:45.

The 4 main costs of starting an Amazon FBA business will your Inventory, Shipping, Software/Tools,

and Marketing

1) Inventory will be your biggest expense! and it all depends what market you decide

to go in.

if you go into a competitive market, expect to order additional units for marketing (giveaway)

expenses.

My market research strategy allows me to order a conservative amount of units, I don't

giveaway units or run crazy promotions, and rank my products with Amazon PPC.

In this video, I am going to use one of my past products as an example.

This product sells around 500 units a month and the way I calculate inventory is to always

have one month of inventory to spare to account for the lead time of a re order.

Most factories have 30-35 day leads times, so a good formula to go by is (your monthly

sales + 1 month) = total units

In my case, I had to order a total of 1000 units (500 monthly sales + 500 (1 month))

= 1000 units

Sometimes suppliers will add complimentary packaging with your order but expect to pay

a few cents more per unit if you want to add a custom logo and custom packaging

There are also other fees you might need to cover like trade assurance, PayPal, or wire

transfer fees.

The total cost for my order with custom packaging/custom logo was 3305

2) The next biggest expense will be your freight cost

This completely depends on the size and weight of your products, whether you're shipping

air or sea and the time of year.

If you want to ship by air, expect to pay a higher price per KG, with a faster delivery

time, usually around 5-15 days depending what type of air shipping you get

If you want to ship by sea, expect to pay a reasonable price cheaper than air.

This way is ideal for large products or if you're shipping in large quantities.

For my product, I shipped half by air and half by sea and paid a total of 974

3) The next expense you should expect to pay are software and tools

The 3 tools

Product research Keyword reseach

Email follow up

For product research tools, you have the choice of getting a paid tool like jungle scout,

viral launch, helium 10 and others.

In this example, we are going to use Jungle Scout at a reference.

If you want the jungle scout web app, it will cost $40 a month and if you want to chrome

extension, it will cost a one-time fee of $97.

The good thing is that once you find a product using the jungle scout web app, you can cancel

your subscription.

I recommend getting the chrome extension too, it will most likely be the tool you use the

most out of the two.

The Total cost for jungle scout will be $137

Next, you will need a keyword research tool.

This is super important in order for you to optimize your listing.

I have personally used viral launch and helium 10 for my keyword research.

In this example, I will go with Viral Launches pricing.

Viral launch will cost you $29 a month.

Keywords are one of the most imprtatn parts of succeeding in Amazon, but you can do the

same as you did with jungle scout and put cancel this membership once you have your

listing fully set and optimized.

The next piece of software is an email follow up service.

This is really important to get your initial reviews any just getting reviews in general.

The service I use is called Feedbackwiz and will cost you 14.99.

The total cost for this section will be 181

4) The last section is Marketing; this will be one of your biggest expenses if you decide

to run giveaways.

The giveaway platform I have used in the past was Viral launch and they charge 400/launch

Im not a fan of giveaways and getting into markets that will need them.

If you can launch with just PPC and a highly optimized listing, I would go for that.

The total cost of this section will be 400 if you're using a launch service like viral

launch (this doesn't include product cost and fulfillment fees you'll pay for launching

an amount of units)

If you're just running ppc, this one is a bit harder to calculate but expect to have

lower margins when launching a product.

Lastly are photos/graphic desing.

I include this in the marketing section because the photos are going to be the main component

in getting the sale.

You should invest as much as you can into your photos.

I personally get top notch 3D renders done for my products and retouch/ graphic design

work as well.

In total.

I pay 800 for both services.

There are cheaper options out there, but expect to pay a few hundred dollars for quality images

and make sure not to cheap out!

The grand total for inventory, shipping, tools, and marketing will be 5660

Some gurus say you can start Amazon FBA private label with 1000 dollars, when in reality,

if you want to set yourself up for success, expect to invest over 5K.

I hope this video was helpful and gave you insight on the true cost of starting an Amazon

FBA business.

This is Oscar, and ill see you guys in the next one.

How Much I Earn?! | My Multiple Income Streams As A Digital Nomad - Duration: 18:04.

hi guys and welcome back to my channel and welcome back to our little house in

Crete I'm actually in Brendan's office today

the other day he stole my m50 and he went out and filmed a video so I'm kind

of stealing his office as payback not because it's better than mine my office

is actually better but this part of the room has much better lighting so I'm

using it because I wanted to film a video about my income yes

even though I'm British I want to talk to you about money and there's a few

reasons for that firstly it's because it is the question I get asked the most

without doubt is what do you actually do how do you make money how do you support

yourself and I did go into a bit of detail about this in my how I afford to

travel video which I will link up here if you haven't seen it already but I

don't think I went into quite enough depth I think maybe I need to show you

which is hard because a lot of the work I do I can't physically show you on my

screen because my clients might fire me secondly and perhaps most importantly I

want to be completely upfront about this lifestyle as I've said I want this

channel to share both the good and the bad and the realities of living as a

digital nomad working for yourself and travelling full-time and obviously money

is a very big part of that if not the biggest part of that you have to be able

to support yourself and you have to have a way to make money online if you want

to be a digital nomad and I'm also gonna say I don't think being a digital Nomad

is for everyone I don't think working like this and living like this is for

everyone and I've written a whole blog post about why that is so I'm gonna link

that below if you're thinking of becoming a digital Nomad please go check

that out because there are some things you might want to consider first and if

you're not thinking of becoming a digital Nomad or working for yourself I

hope you'll still find this video useful or interesting maybe you're just nosy

like me and then of course there's obviously the haters the people who say

oh you're just living off the bank of mom and dad you're obviously aren't

making any money so today I want to show you yes this is possible maybe it's not

easy it's definitely not easy but it is possible so I'm just gonna share my

income and my job of making money while traveling so far

so let's talk about money and if you watch Brendan's channel you might be

familiar with his income octopus-like him I have multiple income streams I

think it's very important for any digital nomad to have multiple income

streams I think it's a good idea for anybody to have multiple income streams

and I've always had multiple income streams even when I had a full-time

corporate job in London but I don't really like animals with more than four

legs or things that live in the sea apart from maybe dolphins and seals so

instead I'm gonna show you my income with puppies because everybody loves

puppies right the first one's more of a dog now than a puppy I guess because

it's grown so much since I started traveling full-time and that is seo seo

if you're not familiar with it stands for search engine optimization it's a

type of digital marketing and it's basically helping a website to rank

higher in Google so when you search something like cute puppy in Google you

want your website to be up there at the top SEO is helping a website to get to

the top that's something I did for several years in London before I've

worked with some pretty big brands in the UK like NatWest RBS new lurk John

Lewis you know I've worked for a lot of big brands doing that now I get to work

with smaller brands more local brands and I really enjoy doing it on a smaller

scale and in my first month of working for myself I didn't actually do any SEO

work at all I made zero income from SEO and I hadn't made SEO income for at

least a few months before that my last job in London wasn't even purely SEO

which is why I was kind of moving away from it and then somehow I just kind of

naturally fell back into it as clients died asking for it or friends started

suggesting me to work with people and now SEO has kind of been my sort of

bread and butter since about December or January and what I mean by that is that

I'm guaranteed income from SEO every month because I have my clients on

retainer some of them by sort of ad-hoc services on a month by month basis but

most of them are on retainer and I have several clients on

retainer and I know I'm gonna make at least that much money my income kind of

varies because of those ad hoc projects sometimes I have one of projects it just

lasts a month or two but over the last eight months apart from that very first

month when I didn't make any money my SEO income has varied between 500 at

about 1200 pounds so that's my first puppy and as I said that puppy's

actually more of a dog because he's kind of grown up a bit and that expanded very

quickly my second puppy is copywriting I've been doing copywriting freelance

copywriting for years I started copywriting when I was at university and

I've been doing it for about seven or eight years now freelance and that

varies completely every month it's usually just one of projects there's

very few ongoing projects that I have for copywriting but that could be

anything from writing webpages blog post sales copies newsletters social media

posts but it's all kind of like ad hook and the thing about this puppy is that

he's going to stay a puppy I'm not going to take on too much copywriting work

because it's very labor intensive and you really are selling time for money

and that's something that I wanted to move away from in this lifestyle for me

becoming a digital nomad and working for myself was the opportunity to not have a

cap on my income and stuff that copywriting is always gonna prevent you

from pushing through that ceiling my copywriting income usually varies from

about 300 to 600 pounds per month depending on what's going on and it's

not all travel my clients range from fashion and Finance to insurance

automobile and of course a little bit of travel riches the thing I love most and

as I said this puppy is going to stay a puppy because I'm not really interested

in growing my copywriting income I like taking on new projects I like the

challenge of it it's fun to keep my work varied but it's not something that I

want to be doing too much of so this puppy is in a really good place and I'd

like him to stay a puppy forever my third and final puppy for client work

is affiliate marketing affiliate marketing is what I did right up till

the day I quit my job in London my last job in London was doing affiliate

marketing full-time for one of the biggest publishers in the UK so

naturally that was kind of my main source of income my biggest puppy in my

first month or two of being a digital nomad and I've kind of killed that puppy

I don't do any affiliate marketing anymore because I kind of wanted to

focus on my own affiliate marketing on my own website and I will get to that in

a bit but yeah I kind of killed that puppy off because it's very time

consuming and you have to be very involved and you can't take on lots of

clients doing that but in my first month or two I made about four or five hundred

pounds per month doing that night apparently according to my spreadsheet I

made 570 pounds in my first month doing that affiliate marketing is basically

another type of digital marketing and it's something people may not know about

but when you click on a link from a website and you buy a product the

retailer gives the publisher a little bit of commission so if I recommend some

puppy food and you click on my link from my website and you buy this puppy food

I'll probably get between 1 and 3% of the total sale price so you normally

make very little money but if you do it well and you're good at it you can make

a lot of money with affiliate marketing and it's also passive income you once

you set it up you don't really have to do much and then we move on to my second

litter of puppies and again this is what I call like my me projects and I've got

to stop doing this I've been blogging for over five years I've been making

money from blogging and my own websites for over four years and yet for some

reason I'm so reluctant to call it my business or I don't really see it as my

real business and I really want that to change and this month I've been working

on making that change and so I've started really focusing on treating my

blog and all the related things as a business and that's partly because I

just love it so much and one of the great things about working for myself is

having the time and the flexibility to be able to do that

and the other reason is because my me income has started overtaking my client

income every month and I see a great opportunity there and it's something I

really love and feel passionate about so why would I not go ahead with that why

would I not make the most of that opportunity and to go along with that

I've also started investing more in my blog and my own brand ala Joad and I'm

not gonna cover expenses in this video because honestly I don't even know

exactly what they are and I'm playing around with a lot of stuff at the moment

if you'd like to see that let me know but I will most likely publish something

over on my book I've even set up a brand new mailing list for that so if you want

to join that as well I will put that below the mailing list itself is a great

example of something I've just invested in to try and sort of start seeing our

child as a business so going back to the money back to the puppies again there

are three main puppies in this litter and the first one again is affiliate

marketing why not start with that this is the smallest puppy this one is just a

little teeny tiny newborn puppy as I said I worked in affiliate marketing for

one of the biggest publishers in the UK and I saw how much money I could make

for them and yeah I didn't do it with my own websites and to be honest I think

that's because doing it all day and then coming home the last thing you want to

do is do the same thing on your own website you want to do the fun parts of

running your website that's why you spend your evenings and your weekends

doing it so until recently affiliate marketing was basically non-existent on

my blog I really did SEO even though I know SEO and I sell it to clients and

it's what I do for some reason I neglected to do it on my own websites so

I've been changing that and a few months ago I decided bright I'm gonna start

from scratch with everything so that's what I've been working on a lot recently

and the affiliate marketing in the first month made me about thirty pounds not

very much definitely not enough to live on runny enough to live for like one day

if that then in my second month I made 40 pounds a 33% increase but

still not really enough to live on for even a couple of days and then in the

third month the last month is increased nearly 500 percent its jumped up to

about 220 pounds a month just in one month which is still not enough to live

on but you know I'm getting them getting better at it and this is what I should

have been doing all along and yeah at least I'm doing it now anyway so that is

that puppy is growing quite quickly and I hope he grows up very very fast

because I actually love affiliate marketing it's the reason I did it

full-time and I love that job it was hard to quit and yeah it's great to be

actually seeing it grow on my own website even though the numbers are

still small and it's still very new it's something I'm really excited about and I

think that's really important when you work for yourself you have to love what

you do my second puppy in this category and this has been sort of my main income

from blogging for the last four years is brand partnerships and collaborations

and I'm putting this under one big umbrella this could be anything from

sponsored blog posts to social media post to Instagram takeovers it could be

anything that involves working with a brand whether that's an airline a

tourism board a hotel and this puppy's kind of crazy

he's like all over the place like bouncing he's completely unpredictable

and the income from this has varied every month from like 300 pounds to over

three thousand pounds per month and you just never know what's gonna happen

what's gonna fall through it's not really a reliable source of income but

when it's good it is good so yeah I don't know what's gonna happen to that

puppy he could just run away tomorrow or he could just grow up and be the world's

biggest dog I have no idea and it's kind of fun it's nice that I don't depend on

that income in any way I would be waking up terrified every day if I did but it's

certainly a nice extra to have and I'm like that puppy in this basket and this

one's just a little baby as well that is my advertising revenue and I don't

really use ads on my site and the thinking of maybe doing it maybe I don't

know I still don't know how I feel about it but at the same time I kind of expect

it when I go on websites because I know people have got to make money I know how

much time and effort goes into sustaining a blog and making it good so

that's something I'm considering right now I'm only using Adsense Google

Adsense and that comes from a few ads on my blog most of it comes from YouTube

and that's been anywhere from like 40 pounds to 200 300 pounds per month I

think my best month on YouTube was about two hundred and fifty pounds but for

some reason that's dropped right down to about 120 pounds a month now so not

enough to live on and again I don't know what will happen with that because you

cheap revenue seems to be going down and obviously my channel is still very small

and young but it is actually enough to pay for say my food for the month and

that's it for my little pack of puppies and dogs right now the final thing I

want to talk about is the puppies I'm hoping to adopt in the future so my goal

is to kind of feed the affiliate puppy until he gets really big and fat and he

can be my top dog and my other puppy that I want to bring in is products so

like I'm in a place where I have a little bit of time and I'm definitely

comfortable enough that I can take a few risks and I want to invest in the

business and I want to try something new I wanna I want to adopt another puppy

and I really want to start creating my own products whether that's writing a

book or creating a course I'm not entirely sure yet if the affiliates go

well since that's my background and something I know I can do it would make

sense to kind of look into writing a book for other bloggers to grow their

affiliates since I can't help each of them and sell my services in that way

that way I can share my knowledge and make some money make some passive income

from it but I'm not I'm not decided on that yeah I guess I'll update you when I

am but right now there's like a few puppies that I have my eye on and I

haven't chosen which breed I want I'm also considering maybe something to help

other dish to nomads maybe I can create some sort of resource

or service that will help people who want to live the same lifestyle as me or

at least try it out and I want to create something that's really fairly priced

and something really honest because I do feel like the market is lacking that

right now and maybe digital nomads the word digital nomads gets a bad

reputation because of it and I haven't figured out what that would be if you

have any ideas let me know but in anticipation of that I have started a

whole new digital Nomad hub and section over on my blog that I'm gonna be

growing and I started a whole newsletter for that as well so if you want to join

that and hear about whatever it happens to be what it ends up being I'd love to

have you there I would put the link below and that is it for this video so I

have my six puppies which is great but you know you can never have too many

puppies right and I'm excited I'm actually really excited to see what new

puppies I can adopt maybe one day I'll have like a whole dog park of puppies

and that would basically be the dream and yeah that is it the other one point

I really want to make last one I promise is that this lifestyle really is not for

everyone I took a risk I took a massive risk because I knew that the reward

would be worth it and I knew that I wanted it and I knew that I was willing

to work for it and it's paid off but it's only really just started to pay off

and it's only just started to feel secure I guess and it's been an

emotional ride it's been the most emotional eight months of my life it's

been intense and I think unless you really want it it's just like something

you shouldn't put yourself through and that really is it for this video so like

I said if you want to join my digital Nomad newsletter I'll put the link below

if you're not really interested in that but you're still watching and you want

to join my regular newsletter I would also put the link to my shiny new

formatted newsletter below and if you want to go read that post that link will

be below as well as always feel free to ask me any questions in the comments I

hope this is kind of expert and everything well I hope it's kind of

showing you where my income comes from but if you have any questions about any

of my income streams about any of my puppies which sounds so wrong now I'm

hearing it then just leave the question below I do try to reply to every comment

I'm slow sometimes sometimes I'm busy but I do always reply to every single

comment and yeah that's it for this video to you anybody who's ever asked me

I know a lot of you have asked me about my income and how I make money or you

think I just make videos or I just blog or I just do SEO or any of that

I hope this has really laid it out and showing you the full picture

I hope thank you for watching the next video will be up on Sunday and I hope

I'll see you there

How Much Water is Used at Walt Disney World? - Duration: 5:42.

Between the water fountains, the regular fountains, the pools, the water rides and well, that

[No privacy at all around this place!] it's no surprise that Disney World goes through

a lot of water on any given day.

But just how much water is used at Walt Disney World?

To cut straight to the chase, a lot.

According to the Reedy Creek Improvement District's 2017 Utilities Report, the district used nearly

six billion gallons of water that year.

That averages out to around 16.1 million gallons every single day.

So how do we know this and what does this figure account for?

Well if you've watched my past videos on how much waste is generated at Disney and

how much electricity is used, you can probably skip ahead a little bit, because the story

is essentially the same.

The reason we know this figure is because of the Reedy Creek Improvement District.

Back in the 1960s when Disney World was still just an idea, it was intended to be a lot

more than just a vacation destination.

Walt had plans for EPCOT, the Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow.

It was going to be a real inhabited city that would remain on the cutting edge of progress,

to serve as an example of what other cities around the world could achieve themselves.

In order to do that, Disney needed the autonomy that would allow them to pursue brand new

and experimental methods of construction and governance that traditional red tape would

otherwise hold back.

That's where the Reedy Creek Improvement District came in.

I have another video all about the District that goes into more depth, but the short version

is that the district was formed to fit the land that Disney owned so that they would

effectively have control over the jurisdiction.

In other words while Disney technically doesn't own the Reedy Creek Improvement District,

it is essentially controlled by them and represents their Florida land.

So these utility figures encompass all of their land, and not much else.

That means that this 5.9 billion gallons covers a lot.

Everything from the tap water to the fountains and pools to water rides to toilet water and

sprinkler systems.

Even the water used in all of the behind-the-scenes buildings across the entire property is accounted for.

Pumping that much water is no easy task.

Reedy Creek is permitted to draw from 8 water wells that tap into the upper Floridan Aquifer,

and they use four water pumping stations that have a collective capacity of 59 million gallons

per day which then distributes the water through over 70 miles of pipe.

On top of that they have five above ground water storage tanks that, together, can hold

over 7 million gallons of water.

This is their backup water that they'll tap into for the few times where the demand

surpasses the water pump capacity.

This, as you might expect, is more likely to happen during the hotter summer months.

For instance last June they were averaging around 20 million gallons a day rather than

the annual average of 16 million gallons per day.

Now about that number.

16.1 million gallons of water a day.

What does that look like?

Just how much water is that?

Well, since apparently everybody likes to use olympic sized swimming pools as a unit

of measurement, that amounts to 24 and a half olympic sized swimming pools.

To use a more relevant comparison, and to also highlight just how massive these tanks

are, the daily water usage at Walt Disney World would fill up the salt water tanks at

the Seas in Epcot 2.8 times.

Lastly, to use a completely ridiculous comparison, if you were to take all of that water and

put them in your standard bottle of water, it would fill 122.6 million bottles.

At Disney prices that many water bottles would cost you nearly 370 million dollars.

So what happens to all of this water?

Beyond what people drink, where does it go?

Well Reedy Creek also happens to have a pretty powerful wastewater system that cleans and

prepares water for reuse.

While the district used 5.9 billion gallons last year, the wastewater system processed

4.8 billion gallons.

The district uses over 60 miles of sewer to collect wastewater that then gets treated

at their plant which is capable of treating up to 20 million gallons per day.

In fact the system is so efficient that as of last year it has also been helping to treat

wastewater from western Orange County while the county is building a new facility for themselves.

Now that treated water becomes non-potable reclaimed water, which means it's not meant

for drinking.

While the water itself tests above the health standards of drinking water, it's still

classed as non-potable since it carries a slightly higher risk of transmitting disease

from that whole "waste" part of "wastewater".

So essentially Disney will reuse as much as it can for purposes that don't involve human consumption.

For instance most of it is used for irrigating lawns, cleaning vehicles, street cleaning,

fire suppression systems and, well, toilets.

Like all of the other utilities on Walt Disney World property, Reedy Creek doesn't mess

around when it comes to water.

They know that while it may seem like just a vacation destination to us, it takes a city's worth of

effort, planning, and most importantly people, to make it all work.

How Trump's rules on coal-fired power plants differ from Obama's - Duration: 8:10.

JUDY WOODRUFF: The Trump administration today rolled out new rules that would reverse course

to a cornerstone of the Obama agenda: regulating emissions from coal-burning power plants.

Yamiche Alcindor begins our coverage with this report that she filed from coal country

in West Virginia.

YAMICHE ALCINDOR: The new rule would give states wide leeway on whether to limit emissions

and by how much.

That includes allowing older power plants to operate longer.

The proposal, called the Affordable Clean Energy Rule, would replace Obama era regulations.

Those rules aggressively pushed for accelerated closures of older coal-fired plants by setting

national targets, by reducing carbon dioxide emissions, and encouraging adoption of cleaner

energies, such as solar and wind power.

The rules have never taken effect because of legal challenges from 27 states.

In a phone call with reporters this morning, Andrew Wheeler, the acting Environmental Protection

Agency administrator, said the new rule would lead to more affordable energy bills for consumers.

He also called the efforts from the Obama administration an overreach of EPA's authority.

ANDREW WHEELER, Acting EPA Administrator: The era of top-down, one-size-fits-all federal

mandates is over.

We will give states and the private sector the regulatory certainty they need to invest

in new technologies and provides clean, affordable and reliable energy for all Americans.

YAMICHE ALCINDOR: The Trump rule would reduce carbon dioxide emissions by around 1 percent,

compared to no regulation.

But that's a big difference from the benefits President Obama cited when he rolled out his

plan in 2015.

BARACK OBAMA, Former President of the United States: With this Clean Power Plan, by 2030,

carbon pollution from our power plants will be 32 percent lower than it was a decade ago.

We will reduce premature deaths from power plant emissions by nearly 90 percent.

And thanks to this plan, there will be 90,000 fewer asthma attacks among our children each

year.

YAMICHE ALCINDOR: The Obama era rule has always drawn criticism from coal industry and many

communities like this one that have traditionally relied on coal to create jobs and support

the local economy.

In West Virginia, where President Trump is holding a rally tonight, we talked to voters

about today's announcement.

RUTH PREECE, West Virginia: There was no jobs with those regulations.

I mean, I'm all for the environment, but there is a right way and a wrong way.

You don't do a blanket approach to something.

DENISE SAMMONS, West Virginia: Where I live, in Mingo County, we're in the heart of the

billion-dollar coal field, and literally people were moving out of the state of West Virginia

because we had no jobs.

YAMICHE ALCINDOR: Democrats attacked the proposal today.

And environmental groups quickly condemned today's proposed change.

In a statement, the National Resources Defense Council said: "Trump's EPA is abandoning any

attempt to curb the carbon pollution that's driving damaging climate change.

This proposal violates the law and cooks the books on science and economics, all to prop

up coal power plants that can't compete with cleaner energy."

As the Obama era regulations were, these new rules are expected to be challenged in court.

For the "PBS NewsHour," I'm Yamiche Alcindor in Charleston, West Virginia.

JUDY WOODRUFF: For a closer look at these changes and the potential impact, I'm joined

by Juliet Eilperin, who covers this closely for The Washington Post.

Juliet Eilperin, welcome back to the "NewsHour."

Again, just to clarify, the regulations the Trump administration is rolling back from

the Obama administration had never really taken effect?

JULIET EILPERIN, The Washington Post: Right.

There had been -- they had been stayed by the Supreme Court, because more than two dozen

attorneys general from Republican states and the industry had challenged EPA's authority

to impose such sweeping limits beyond the plants themselves.

And so as a result, they have not taken effect.

JUDY WOODRUFF: What is it about the Obama era regulations that the Trump administration

so objects to?

JULIET EILPERIN: So the biggest argument they made against those rules was the idea that

they applied not just to the operations of the power plants themselves, but they went

beyond the fence line.

What that meant is that they said to states, look, we want you the meet these emission

targets, and by doing that, you can encourage energy efficiency, you can promote the development

and deployment of natural gas plants and renewable energy projects, and those are all ways that

you can reduce carbon emissions.

And, essentially, the opponents of that rule said, no, that's not what's really allowed

under the Clean Air Act.

And all you can do is make the existing plants more efficient, which is what this new proposal

does.

JUDY WOODRUFF: And what about the practical consequences of this?

What do we look for?

JULIET EILPERIN: So, there are a couple of things.

When it comes to greenhouse gas emissions, it will slow the decline of carbon dioxide

cuts over time.

The Obama rule would have done slightly more, although we do see the power sector getting

cleaner over time, in part because of cheaper natural gas and renewable energy.

In terms of the public health impacts, that's where you are certainly going to see a difference,

because one thing that the Trump administration is now proposing is that utilities that want

to make their existing coal-fired plants more efficient can make those upgrades without

installing the kind of pollution controls on traditional pollutants that normally are

required under the Clean Air Act.

So emissions of soot -- those are fine particle -- and smog-forming pollutants, including

sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides, could potentially increase over time.

The Trump EPA estimates that, by 2030, there will be an additional, for example, between

470 and 1,400 deaths a year as a result of an uptick in those traditional pollutants.

JUDY WOODRUFF: And how does the Trump administration explain that?

How do they defend that decision?

JULIET EILPERIN: So their argument is that this rule is about carbon dioxide and not

those other pollutants, and they're adhering to the law and focusing on greenhouse gas

emissions, and that they have other methods of controlling those emissions, so potentially

they could, you know, address it in another capacity.

What they're saying is that they want to make these plants more efficient, and, by definition,

if they're going to do that and not impose an additional regulatory burden on these plants,

they wanted to make it easier to do these upgrades, and as a result, they're not -- they're

changing the kind of current requirements that exist under federal law.

JUDY WOODRUFF: Who is happy about this decision, Juliet?

JULIET EILPERIN: So, utilities for the most part say that they're happy about it, that

this is -- that while they still face a number of market pressures and they will be, you

know, for example, changing their fuel mix over time, this gives them breathing room

if they want to keep some of these older plants in operation.

Certainly, you see Republicans, the vast majority of Republicans, both in Congress and on the

state level, including many of these attorneys general I mentioned that had been suing, they

are welcoming this.

So from those two camps, you have a significant amount of support, who say that this will

give them more flexibility and is something that will help them economically.

JUDY WOODRUFF: But, clearly, the environmental community and others not happy with this decision.

What about court challenges going forward?

What do you expect?

JULIET EILPERIN: So, we absolutely expect a court challenge from essentially the same

groups that were defending the Obama era rule.

So that would be environmental groups, as you mentioned, as well as a slew of Democratic

attorneys general.

We have already gotten indications that, whether it's from California or Massachusetts, they're

already preparing a legal challenge, arguing that many of these changes violate the Clean

Air Act, because the federal government is not -- is basically delegating too much authority

to the states, and that it needs to be stricter in terms of the emissions reductions it's

requiring.

JUDY WOODRUFF: Juliet Eilperin of The Washington Post, thank you.

JULIET EILPERIN: Thanks so much.
