I worry that some state like CA are already more intrusive and restrictive than the EPA. Not only should we eliminate the EPA, but the Congress or SCOTUS needs to protect the citizens of states from their local government tyranny.
It is the CA state government that say I can’t burn wood to heat my home and that carmakers can’t sell vehicles in the state unless a certain percentage of them are electric and that I must pay more for electricity than anywhere else because a certain percentage of it has to come from high priced solar and wind sources.
We should have a solution other than “move somewhere else”. I was here first, darn it !
Calif Air Resources Board will just cool their heels until a Democrat comes back into power. Love the fact he’s being aggressive on EPA but Calif is as powerful as some countries. There has to be a law banning government reglation of industry.
as a californian I absolutely agree.
“We should have a solution other than “move somewhere else”. I was here first, darn it !”
We are with you! We were also here first (we were born here, we didn’t sneak in) and now in our mid-70’s we are not going to move away. If the EPA is left to the states, we will be in for a rough ride here unless the Feds put some serious restrictions on the states. Personally, I’d like to see a very small, very restricted Federal EPA stick around to ride heard on states like CA.

You and your neighbors have to reign in CA. That is the whole point of limited federal .gov. You can’t say fed is too intrusive when you don’t like what they say and invite intrusion when you favor what they say.
The federal .gov has no business telling any state what to do or not to do that is not expressly delegated in the founding document.
