Agreed. And said Senator isn't exactly a paragon of virtue and without political motives himself.
I'd like to view the videos of the guy's speech and do a little checking on my own, before making a call in this particular instance.
That said, I've been no fan of the EPA's apparent basic atttitude for the past decade or so - they seem to have morphed from their original purpose of making sure the environment was fit for human and other life - and decided that humans themselves were the problem - and now their overriding concern is protecting the environment FROM humans, no matter the cost.
