The EPA wants to know what you think about scrapping air-pol

Thanks for the link!

I have been to some developing countries, third world they used to say, and have seen the benefits of little government and large corporations and other countries coming in to 'make improvements'. We in the US have come a long way! I would hate to see us backslide.

Seems the EPA is now fallen into the hands of those that would do away with any restrictions that weren’t “ Profitable “ ... Deregulation to unharness Big Corporations ( likely those who pollute the most) ...

My reaction to this is pretty mixed, I have to tell you. Throwing out clean air regulations? Heck No! Getting rid of the CO2 red herring so we can focus on clean air again? Heck Yea!

We will have to see where this goes.

More than 55,100 responses rolled in by the time the comment period closed on Monday — but they were full of Americans sharing their experiences of growing up with dirty air and water, and with pleas for the agency not to undo safeguards that could return the country to more a more polluted era.

So what will come of the 55,000 comments that the agency received about its regulatory reforms?

The agency said the findings will be given to a task force that has been assembled. The group is required to submit a progress report to Pruitt about regulations it has identified in need of altering or replacing altogether.
