Pros: "it's the opposite of what Obama and Libruls wanted!". That's good enough for some of the Republican base, but that's about it. Most of the economic growth in the US has come from the clean energy industry and from improving current industries to be less polluting. Being able to burn coal and fuel 24/7 just "because we can" isn't going to make the country more productive. It's just a canard.
Cons:
- US losing leadership position on everything related to climate change
- US opening itself to tariffs from other countries that are in the Paris agreement
- US looking like a regressive regime that does stupid shit just to get headlines
My guess is the third one will have the biggest impact.
