Monday, March 24, 2025

In what he called the "most consequential day of deregulation in American history," the head of the Environmental Protection Agency announced a series of actions Wednesday to roll back landmark environmental regulations, including rules on pollution from coal-fired power plants, climate change and electric vehicles. "We are driving a dagger through the heart of climate-change religion and ushering in America's Golden Age, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin said in an essay in The Wall Street Journal.

The EPA put out a press release just to quote a bunch of CEOs and conservative pundits and such -- Grover Norquist, National Review editors, mining associations, etc -- about their efforts to roll back a motherlode of environmental regulations. Embarrassing shit.

Are we now reusing old headlines? WTF is going on?

Is this related to the HardDrive issue?

love the assumption that each and every regulation on the books is great.

You literally have nothing but strawman bulls*^+ to offer these days.

The time you waste here would be better spent reading a f^*+ing book to reduce your ignorant stupidity.

"Are you aware that new regulations are written all of the time without any input from Congress?"

Incorrect.
Stop lying.
Congress provided input when they created the rule-making bodies.

Perfect example right here.

You're entirely ignorant of the basic civics that underlie the topic but feel the need to comment on this thread multiple times.

Now, Pres Trump's EPA wants to shove a dagger through all the gains toward breathable air that have been accomplished since the 60's and 70's ring around the horizon."
Why?
Because the clean air regulations cost corporations money to comply?

Republicans don't have to breathe the same air as Democrats

Hope our Russian trolls appreciate it.

I found the part that has JPW and Snoofy all lathered up.

"The EPA has also terminated its diversity, equity and inclusion programs and will shutter parts of the agency focused on environmental justice"

So dumb.

Exxon climatologists knew decades ago.

I'm good though.

Hoping I live long enough to see rivers on fire again.

The great thing about science...

It's true even if you don't believe in it :)

@#27 ... Now, Pres Trump's EPA wants to shove a dagger through all the gains toward breathable air ...

When I was a kid, I remember going outside to play, but I came back into the the house because the air outside was making my eyes burn.

We (my friends and I) also used to notice what we called the "ring around the horizon."

A brownish-orange area near the horizon is all directions cause by the pollutants in the air.

And in the 70's when I was in college, I went sailing with a friend who was in the campus yacht club. We sailed on the Hudson River. When I got back, a day or so later, I noticed my sneakers were falling apart. I mentioned that to my friend and he said, ~yeah, the water of the Hudson tends to dissolve glue.~


Let's go back to those days just so the oligarchs can make more money.

Is that why he's angry?

Are you angry, as well?

I care about the country and where it's headed.

But I can't be angry 24/7 forever.

But.....I care about the country and where it's headed.

So.......you're angry all the time? I guess if you're not, then you don't care about the country nor where it's headed.
