Federal Court Slaps Down EPA?
Last Friday, a federal court threw out a set of new restrictions on the manufacture and storage of cement that had been imposed by the EPA.
According to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, the EPA’s actions were “arbitrary and capricious” because it failed to give adequate notice to the manufacturers.
The EPA had targeted the Portland Cement Company, but the Portland Cement Association fought back in court. The cement industry nationwide employees 17,000 at 100 facilities in 36 states.

House Republicans have voted nearly 170 times this year alone to erode clean air and water laws and thwart other environmental protections. In addition, most GOP presidential candidates are calling for a moratorium on EPA regulations,( Rick Perry) and Michele Bachmann and Newt Gingrich want to abolish the agency altogether. They are all for allowing Koch Industries to foul our rivers and lakes and air. The Koch Bros have been fined 160 times and are tired of it. They want their Republican puppets to do something.
That is sheer ignorance. Several Clean Air Act rules and standards which address acid precipitation [acid rain] and greenhouse gas levels also can impact our health and also fish populations around the country. The negative health impacts of toxic air are well-documented and include bronchitis, asthma and heart disease. When airborne mercury reaches water, it can change to the toxic methylmercury, which is found in tainted fish. Methylmercury is also a concern because of the damage it can cause to the nervous systems of unborn children and young children.
Wouldn't that be better than a bureaucrat that can't event tie their shoelaces?
if it has a 3 letter name it is meant to be scary, bad, and/or dangerous consider these TLA's
EPA, IRS, CIA, MSM, DDT, LSD, FBI, IRA, PLO, DEA, ...
or the more ominous CFLA's
BATF, PTSD,...
