Please, Donald, get elected and close this rogue department.
Real environmental abuses can be handled as public nuisance torts, not by thousands of annual regulations.
no kidding, almost 200,000 job loss in the coal industry
“Please, Donald, get elected and close this rogue department”
Congress passed the laws that the EPA is enforcing. If the EPA had not been created by Nixon’s executive order, there would be four or five mini-EPAs at Commerce, Interior, Labor, Agriculture, and Justice trying to enforce Congress’s absurd “environmental “ laws.

All of these laws articulate unachievable fantasy goals, and charge the President with creating their environmental utopia through regulation.
Now, of course, when you elect Marxists to high office, the regulations they choose to pursue will be worse.
BUT
THE PROBLEM IS NOT THE EPA. THE PROBLEM IS THE LAWS.
