I have actually been to national conventions and heard all of them speak live. Perry has been dealing with energy for a LONG time and fighting with the EPA which I am sure he will abolish. Herman in his speeches has said he will restructure the EPA. Big difference. EPA is a program we probably could do without.
EPA came into existence partly because states were complaining about airborne and waterborne pollutants from neighboring states. It seemed a way around all the lawsuits between states. Now it’s a monster in its own right.
Restructuring the EPA is liking moving a big pile of bovine droppings around.
