That's my main complaint about the current administration and a lot of Republicans. I am afraid that their attitude about environmental regulation will cause a lot of damage for a long time and erase progress made over decades. I live close to LA and when you talk to people who lived there in the 70s and 80s and compare it to now there is no way to to view what the EPA and other agencies did as anything other than a huge success for the quality of life in this country.
I find it infuriating how the leadership of the EPA is suddenly only lobbyists and scientists get treated with distrust and disrespect.
- slededit 8y agoWhile the EPA certainly has done a lot of great things, they've also been a vector for NIMBYism. Not every cut back of the EPA should be seen as an attempt to return the 60s.
