Keep in mind that in the US, the Federal Government is not the only game in town. The EPA as currently constituted is not the only possible way for our society to protect our environment. It seems to me that conservatives often make the case that "The Federal Government should not do <foo>," but others instead hear, "we as a society don't need to do <foo>."
