Back in the 90’s, the congress passed legislation calling for congressional review of new regulations - if the review was requested, a simple majority vote could overturn the regulation. After it was passed and signed, it may not have ever actually been used, but it's still there, and can still be used. The republicans just need to call for a 60-day review of the regulations implemented in December, then when they fail to get the review, or get it but disagree, they vote to overturn it.

Thanks, Kay. I’m having great difficulty absorbing the arrogance of the leftists when everything I read about the last eight years of elections reported THEY LOST!!!!

Sam Kinnison took over there at the end.

Charcoal, coal, the difference is fire has been applied already correct? I Eons of water flowing through the soil, through around and under coal deposits, they do not get polluted or ruined. Coal in water, big threat...lol.

Charcoal is wood (or other woody substances each having its own properties)which has been charred. Activated charcoal is that which has been treated with steam to increase the surface area. The charcoal adsorbs (collects on the surface) contaminates, as either gas or liquid passes over under around and thru.
