It effectively strips the EPA of the power to regulate.

Stupid.

The EPA must be disbanded.

I was actually quite interested in this a few years ago, to the point of drafting model legislation to repeal the law creating the EPA.

Except, there is no such law.

The EPA was created by executive order (Nixon), and since it has no legislative existence, a repeal bill would be meaningless.

I got busy with other stuff, and never figured out how exactly we can get rid of it.

But defunding it or attempting to restrict its power won't work. The EPA exists to enforce the Clean Air Act, the Air Quality Act, the National Environmental Policy Act, the and the Clean Water Act, and as long as those vague and (obviously) unconstitutional laws continue to exist, we will continue to have this problem.

Stupid.

Then don't do anything because that's exactly what you're going to get if you believe you're just going to eliminate it in one fell swoop. It ain't happening. Mitt St Jesus has already declared it to be a force for good.

If that’s the case an execuive order can end it.
