How is the EPA plan setting the US back? Every company I know is still looking ways to go green and clean up there act. The only thing Trump did is get rid of regulations that weren't needed and leave a deal that was causing the US to pay billions of dollars to other countries. Neither of which makes sense from an enconomic or environmental standpoint. Name one company that is going to start increasing pollution due to the EPA set back?

You're right that EPA doesn't affect private sector, businesses like Tesla Energy and many others will still continue to innovate in the renewable energy sector, but the government has definitely cut back on previously held legislative energy based regulations. For example Trump recently issued an executive order to allow offshore oil/gas mining on the Outer Continental Shelf. This promotes oil/gas industry in the US. When the market % of renewable energy companies exceeds oil/gas market % then you'll see a true revolution in renewable energy, but it's going to be a slow road like I said, definitely not over night will take years.
