The EPA needs to be defunded and disbanded.

Along with a bunch of other federal agencies including the obsolete FCC and Education Department. It's not likely to happen though. Most Republicans are gutless in the face of a hostile liberal media and the disapproval of their Washington "colleagues."

My electricity bill has gone up over 150% in the last 2 years and Southern California Edison seems to be happily in bed with the environmentalists. I want to know who's benefiting from that profiteering.

“I want to know who’s benefiting from that profiteering. “

Everybody but you. I’ve been the operator of a public water supply company for 30 years. Our rates are determined by the Public Utilities Commission. They allow us 10% profit. So we get about $10 in profit on about $100 of delivered water. Now, if our costs go up, say from $100 to $200 for that same amount of water, and we still get to make a 10% profit,,,,,,,Well,,, We’re in the money!

Spent 2 hours today at the EPA site trying to figure out the rules about Chlorine Contact Time. Bunch of gobbledygook! Confusing as all get out.
