WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump will not derail progress made in fighting climate change and creating clean-energy jobs, the head of the Environmental Protection Agency insisted on Monday in arguing "the inevitability of our clean energy future is bigger than any one person or nation."

EPA chief Gina McCarthy said the world is "in a spectacularly different place today than we were when President (Barack) Obama took office," citing new environmental rules and actions to help create thousands of jobs in renewable energy such as wind and solar power.

But Gina said that the train has left the station....
She will have to fly. I hope her broom is tuned up.
Close the EPA and replace it with NOTHING.

The sooner these a$$hats agree that “Global Warming” is caused by the SUN, and the Sun alone, the better. They have wasted Billions on fear mongering a hoax. They owe the American people an apology.

Anything worth doing is better done by a new agency after the EPA is scrapped.

If you make an omelette and one of the eggs turns out to have been rancid you don’t try to separate that rancid egg from the rest of the omelette. You throw the whole thing away and clean the pan and utensils. Then start fresh.

Such big talk from someone with no power anymore. Sounds like a spoiled school girl telling her teacher what he can and can’t do in his own class room.

Off to the principal’s for you for a nice spanking, brat. Learn your manners. Respect your elders, spoiled brat.

I would banish EPA’s regulatory and enforcement rules and make them only an advisory body answerable to the Congress. If the EPA feels new regulations are warranted, they can lobby the Congress for them, but would be powerless on their own to make or enforce regulations.

Uh...well...NO...

1 - It is NOT “progress”, it is by definition regression.

2 - The obstacle placed in the way by Bambi and the EPA can be undone with the stroke of a pen.

Add two tbl spoons of TSP to your dish washer before you start it up. Dishes will be clean as a whistle.

It seems that was the original intent but were violated over the years.

Too many bureaucrats!

Developing clean energy while also using the energy products we have can happen at the same time. Glo-Bull warming was always a means to an end and clean air was possibly the by-product of making certain leftists ridiculously rich. That’s why Al Bore went for having 1 million bucks to 200 million in such a short amount of time.

Is air pollution and water pollution an issue that needs to be addressed? Of course but look at where it’s happening; the big cities and from unscrupulous factories of some kind. Focus on those things.

I had no idea.

This is one government employee who did this much damage, think of the tens of thousands just as dishonest as he (and Gina McCarthy) are who have done so much more we are unaware of.

These statist, teat-sucking pieces of crap should be in jail. But there is zero accountability.

Did the EPA exist for the first many years of our Republic? No. It is a cesspool of arrogant marxist autocrats, and is NOT needed. Shut’er down.

Maybe in her case.

Gina is usually short for “Luigina” (per Lollabrigida) or “Regina”, “Georgina”, et al.

No kidding. More positions filled by real men with real skills and knowledge and experience will be nice.
