EPA coal ash program

jeudi 21 décembre 2017 à 01:00

We no longer have an Environmental Protection Agency; the bully has converted it into the Environmental Poisoning Agency.

The EPA tried to support the coal industry with a program to encourage disposal of coal ash as dirt wherever dirt was needed. It had not checked whether coal ask pollution would do damage, and was made to stop.

Now that coal ash has been verified to have poisoned land and drinking water, Saboteur Pruitt wants to start spreading it again.

Saboteur Pruitt is also replacing the Clean Power Plan with a scheme designed not to change much.

He has put the brakes on a plan to ban three toxic solvents.

The EPA is considering an application for spraying a neonicotinoid pesticide. Merely soaking seeds in it is poisoning bees and birds; spraying it could wipe them out.
