I think what everyone is missing here is the fact that aside from saving the US 100 Billion a year, leaving the agreement changes nothing. This agreement didn't force anyone to do anything to change, it was essentially a "here is what we should do" for the countries involved. It doesn't mean that we wont still use clean power in the US or move away from clean energy in general. It also doesn't affect the other countries in the treaty aside form our money will no longer be involved, something they shouldn't miss since they don't know exactly where it was going in the first place.
