On Thursday’s broadcast of Bloomberg’s “Surveillance,” EPA Administrator Michael Regan stated that he doesn’t think the 2022 midterms will change the fact that the agency has been given power “to pursue the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions to protect public health and protect the planet” through regulations and that the agency got a boost in its goals from the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act.
Regan said, “Well, the president has had a historic two years in passing historic legislation, with the bipartisan infrastructure law, the Inflation Reduction Act, resources coming to EPA to help with and enhance the regulations that we are required to put in place by law. So, I don’t think the elections will change the fact that EPA has legislative authority or authority provided by the legislature or Congress, to pursue the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions to protect public health and protect the planet. We’re going to continue to move forward and do our job, but the resources that flow from the Inflation Reduction Act [do] help with that public-private partnership to pursue these reductions. So, we’re not solely reliant on regulations alone.”

Do enumerated power for that agrncy to operate anywhere within a State jurisdiction.
The Supreme Court just said regulations had to be passed by congress…
Well looks like ten dollar gas
They grossly overestimate their power and the ability to enforce it. Domestic enemies and traitors.
They are going to step on the gas. The fraud delivered.
Out of control government bragging about being out of control.
No elections do not change the EPA’s mandate.
However the Supreme Court just did that not long ago, recognizing the EPA had exceeded its mandate:.
So you either recognize the court decision or you are not following the law. There is not a third option.
In other words: “We Are The Gubmint And You Will Comply”.
Yep. Fuc*ing right, there Skippy. Whatever you say.
Your regulations are making the country weaker and doing nothing for the “climate”.
Bunch of power drunk bureaucrats with little knowledge.
Government of the bureaucrats, by the bureaucrats and for the bureaucrats, right Mikey?
Thanks to McConnell the traitorous idiot.
They could cut them off at the knees and cut funding but they don’t have the cajones to do that.
Still no (”so” was a typo) enumerated power for it.
With the house we have the power of the purse. Cut them off at the knees or any other suitable appendage.
The the big DICKtator Biden
has spawned a bunch of little dictators ?
Figures
Reprobates.
I think it’s time to disband the EPA.🤔
Congress has abdicated their responsibility for many years to regulatory agencies. Congress is supposed to pass laws, but it is more convenient for them to simply tell (or allow) agencies to legislate via regulation.
Trump did this too with bump stocks and despite a previous determination that they did not meet the definition of a firearm they were suddenly regulated as firearms.
“..doesn’t think the 2022 midterms will change the fact that the agency has been given power “to pursue the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions to protect public health and protect the planet” through regulations...”
It takes money to operate the agency and the Congress decides how much you receive. It’s called the “power of the purse.”
I’m not that scientific...so I never understood how reducing Co2 would benefit us. Isn’t that what plants produce?
