Of interest the group with primary responsibility for the lawsuit is part of a group of PAC NW environmental whack jobs you can find at http://www.rnp.org/about/members.html
The named litigants in the case were: NORTHWEST ENVIRONMENTAL ADVOCATES, THE OCEAN CONSERVANCY, INC., WATERKEEPERS NORTHERN CALIFORNIA, NEW YORK, ILLINOIS, MICHIGAN, MINNESOTA, WISCONSIN, PENNSYLVANIA.
Ostensibly this was all about keeping invasive species out of West Coast waters ~ by forcing EPA to regulate all ships' bilgewater emissions.
Kind of like doing the CO2 thing ~ and made as much sense in that no consideration whatsoever was given to possible damage elsewhere.
If anyone ever needed proof that EPA is an agency OUT OF CONTROL this is it. They let a federal judge dictate the terms of a regulation without concern for the potential destruction of the Gulf of Mexico ~ and that's now underway.
Can anyone find if Obama has appointed any of the pukes identified in the member groups of the umbrella operation to federal office?
That'd help us personalize this whole thing and give us a great target!
For later.
