For those of you hellbent on getting rid of the EPA:

This is what the majority of our cities would look like with no emission or pollution regulations on industry.

I'll keep my EPA, thank you very much!

We need EPA. We just need one with some common sense and one that isn't a tool to protect good old boy business.

By the Way, that could be mistaken for LA. California has the strictest clean air laws in the country. If the laws aren't based in facts or unenforceable or not enforced equally, they aren't worth much.

We need an EPA, but not one that has been co-opted by a pack of socialists that harms the econocy with strick over the top regulations that put industries, farmers, coal, and the ability to become energy independent as a nation. An EPA that stands politically with aiding a leftist ran government that is turning the nation into a welfare and dependance of government nation, by design. Why do you think Obummer makes Czars out of people like Cass Sunstein?

This EPA we have now is corrupt as it is politically ran. Just like your healthcare is becoming along with what your schools are turning into also. Industries are under assault, as are farms.

Conspriracy theories is your easy answer? I feel sorry for the blind.

We need an EPA, but NOT one that wants to regulate carbon dioxide (that constitutes about .03% of our atmosphere) and acts as if it's the cause of "global warming" or "climate change" or whatever they are calling it these days.

EPA is just like every other government organization, continually overstepping its authority. This is my problem with the government agency, it never knows when to back off until it hurts someone, then its to late...clean air laws will be the final nail in California's coffin.

I don't know YOUR source of information but here is Wikipedia's take. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_...h's_atmosphere Pay particular attention to the opening paragraph as it details the amount in the atmosphere and how fast it's rising.

I saw nothing in your link that disputes the percentage that I cited. Heck even triple what I cited and it's still less than 1% of the atmosphere. Your link deals with ppm. If I missed a reference to percentage, I apologize.

To add to the debate I will provide this link

http://principia-scientific.org/supportnews/latest-news/163-new-discovery-nasa-study-proves-ca

that tells how NASA is in a quandary because their own research has disputed their previous theory that CO2 causes warming. They now find that it actually COOLS!

How about that "scientific consensus" now?????

Bush stripped away and deregulated a lot but no jobs or anything good came from all that.just google or bing bush and the epa you'll find a long list.the epa has to keep on top of big business or the gready bastards will fill our river and lake with slug and the air with smog.

The CORRUPTED EPA, has one half of it's budget for the use of giving grants, and enviromental activists (colleges and science centers included) are rewarded with the cash and those that don't believe the lies get no money or even shut down. It's a government run creation designed to promote energy dependence, and eventual carbon taxes as well as other global taxes.

They are not doing their job in any resemblence of honesty and the good of the nation.
