Return the EPA to a narrower role as environmental regulator
What the document says“EPA needs to be realigned away from attempts to make it an all-powerful energy and land use policymaker and returned to its congressionally sanctioned role as environmental regulator.”
This is the chapter's framing proposition. It says the agency's structure and mission should be greatly circumscribed to reflect cooperative federalism and limited government, and that the primary role in making choices about the environment belongs to the people who live in it.
What the document actually says“EPA needs to be realigned away from attempts to make it an all-powerful energy and land use policymaker and returned to its congressionally sanctioned role as environmental regulator.”
The EPA has become a maker of energy and land rules. It should go back to guarding the environment.
The EPA is meant to protect air, water and soil. The book says it now sets energy and land rules too. It says that goes beyond its job.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
