Despite years of air monitoring, inspections and millions in penalties for petrochemical plants, the air in Calvert City, Kentucky, remains polluted. The EPA’s inability to fix it is an indictment of the laws governing clean air, experts say.
The EPA was only created because Congress was about to create an agency with the actual power and resources to be productive.
So republicans made the EPA and made it toothless
And politicians from both parties declared it was “good enough” like they did with Social Security.
It’s just another example of why incremental change isn’t effective. We get a little and a little at a time and with every increase more and more people think we don’t need anymore.
