Why Continue EPA?

Surber actually reads stuff from Teh Gummint.

...The EPA said, “Compared to 1970 vehicle models, new cars, SUVs and pickup trucks are roughly 99% cleaner for common pollutants (hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides and particle emissions), while Annual Vehicle Miles Traveled have dramatically increased.

New heavy-duty trucks and buses are roughly 99% cleaner than 1970 models. In August 2016, EPA and the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration jointly finalized standards for medium- and heavy-duty vehicles that will improve fuel efficiency and cut carbon pollution, while bolstering energy security and spurring manufacturing innovation.

“Starting in the 2014 model year, locomotives are 90% cleaner than pre-regulation locomotives. In March 2008, EPA finalized a three part program that dramatically reduces emissions from diesel locomotives of all types — line-haul, switch, and passenger rail. The rule cuts particulate emissions from these engines by as much as 90% and nitrogen oxides emissions by as much as 80% when fully implemented.”...

Not to worry.  Congress will continue to give money to EPA.  EPA will now attempt to obliterate human life (and plant life, too!) from the US by eradicating reliable electric power and absolutely-necessary nutrients such as CO2. 

You might conclude either that:  1) Congress is stupid, or 2) Congress hates you.

Or both.
