Isn’t the name “EPA” increasingly inaccurate? Shouldn’t it now be called something like the Oil & Gas Promotion Agency (OGPA)?

- jandrese 6y agoIt's just an extension of the George W. Bush era where every piece of legislation was required to have an name that was completely the opposite of its intent. They would write a law allowing mines to dump heavy metal contaminated tailings into the nearby rivers and streams which would be named something ridiculous like the Clean Water Act.
