Trump is a businessman, what will be considered economic accounts, whether to cancel Obama's "clean electricity plan" is also true. Trump appointed the US Environmental Protection Agency recently released nearly 200 pages of "clean electricity plan" cost-benefit analysis, proved to cancel the plan "outweigh the disadvantages."

As shown in the table below, if the discount rate is 7% in the mass based target scenario for pollutants (including carbon dioxide), the loss of US local sewage revenues from the implementation of the Clean Electricity Program is $ 500 million per year , The demand side to improve energy efficiency of 19.3 billion US dollars, the two total revenue of 19.8 billion US dollars; However, the implementation of clean electricity plan itself, the investment cost of up to 30.6 billion US dollars. In this way, the cost and income offset, cancel the clean electricity plan can also "save" 10.8 billion US dollars. Even under the assumption that the discount rate is 3%, then cancel the clean electricity plan still has $ 2.5 billion net income.

In this calculation, Trump canceled the clean power plan is a matter of course. However, it must be pointed out that the cost and revenue calculation of the United States Environment Agency is only "the United States priority", but not in the global context of global warming and energy conservation and emission reduction costs and benefits.
