If Mr. Ebell is going to be the top EPA bureaucrat, then why doesn’t Trump say so?
Regardless, it looks like Mr. Ebell is a step in the right direction.
Otherwise, since the states have never expressly constitutionally delegated to the feds the specific power to address environmental concerns, Trump needs to do one or the other of the following. He needs to lead Congress to successfully petition the states to ratify an environmental protection amendment to the Constitution so that the feds actually have the constitutional authority to do so, or he needs to get the feds out of the business of policing the environment and let the states do it.
They can reclassify the EPA as a subdivision of the Interior Dept., then eliminate the redundancies.
Oh good...still talking about what Mr. Trump “needs” to do, I see.
Ebell is running the EPA transition, but he may not want to be the head of the agency himself. They might want someone with a science background as agency head. Ebell is a smart guy and a knowledgeable guy but his credentials are more in economics than science. But he knows all the best scientists who aren’t a part of the climate fraud.
