environmental protection agency

While running for the presidency in 2016, Donald Trump promised to provide relief to the stifling regulations that at-best delay and at-worst completely halt infrastructure projects.

If you drive a car and live in the greater Chicagoland metropolitan area, you are periodically required to have your tailpipe emissions checked to ensure that your vehicle meets emissions standards.

The Environmental Protection Agency announced it is rolling back some of the excessive, and possibly illegal, water regulations imposed by the Obama administration.

CPP, the centerpiece of the Obama administration’s climate change agenda, forced the premature closure of dozens of coal-fired power plants and deserved to be eliminated.

California initiated the down of legalized recreational marijuana use. That same day, a new California law regulating particle emissions from leaf blowers and lawn mowers went into effect.

It doesn’t matter what Pruitt does, the Left will always hate him.

Poverty remains, by far, the biggest killer of humans, and government-imposed regulations have been proven to create economic costs that make poverty more likely.
