EPA Administrator: Elections Won’t Change our Power to Regulate, Our Regulations Were Enhanced under Biden
Breitbart ^ | November 10,2022 | IAN HANCHETT

Posted on 11/10/2022 6:30:51 PM PST by Hojczyk

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.”

Because f you things properly, there are left and right limits as to what can be done properly

If you use other means, there are no limits as they can make the rules as they go and be selective in applying them.

Arrogant, unelected, and unaccountable.

Defund the so-called Inflation Reduction Act.

“Regulators” had a very different meaning during the frontier days.

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.

If only a Republican-controlled House of Representatives had the balls to not fund the EPA ... Funny how people forget that the HoR controls the purse strings, and by extension the allocation of funding to FedGov and all these out of control three letter agencies.

No money to EPA = No "enforcement" of all this bullshit.

Let them sue in court for their funding, and then let the court try and enforce any ruling.

Use the left's own "rules" against them.

If only we had a Republican-led House of Representatives with the balls to do it ... never happen with Milequetoast McCarthy as Speaker.

Aside from the fact that SCOTUS already vacated your imagined power, sure!

Are these “regulators” government? I thought they are civil servants who serve the many individuals of this country? What is government? Who is it? These civil servants can choose to enforce laws or not. At this point in our Republican experiment, these regulators have all the power they could possibly need to out maneuver the politicians and the taxpayers
