Yup the rivers don't burn anymore, there are requirements for disposing chemicals and the air is cleaner than it has been since the 20's. All good, but now it's grown to where a friggin owl can put thousands of loggers out of work, it takes 10 years to get an oil field in operation and a naturally occurring gas is a pollutant. Give a bureaucracy the power to write law and it will become a monster.
Yep.

When a thick fog engulfed London from December 5 to December 9, 1952, it mixed with black smoke emitted from homes and factories to create a deadly smog. This smog killed approximately 12,000 people and shocked the world into starting the environmental movement.
A study in 1956 reported, in the 35 worst-affected smog areas in the US, there were 15,000 more pneumonia deaths over eight years than the national average.
Burning Rivers reported on the increase in 1952.
Air pollution kills in Donora, Pennsylvania. An unusual temperature inversion lasting six days blocks dispersal of emissions from zinc smelting and blast furnaces. Out of a total population of 14,000 people, 20 die, 600 others become ill, and 1400 seek medical attention.
Visibility is drastically reduced by dense smog in Los Angeles. Air pollution is blamed for causing 2000 auto accidents in a single day.
A group of University of Southern California students watch as the tie worn by one student changes color before their eyes. Later, chemical engineers determined that dyes in the fabric of the tie reacted with certain air pollutants occurring at particularly high levels that day
In New York City, a three-day temperature inversion over Thanksgiving weekend is blamed for the deaths of 168 people.
Sulfur dioxide pollution emitted by industries near Gary, Indiana and East Chicago becomes potent acid rain that burns lawns, eats away tree leaves, and causes birds to lose their feathers.

Bullshit.
Ever heard of fracking....

No one is saying to get rid of the EPA but it needs to be cut back.

I see the same thing driving over the Delaware Memorial Bridge into New Jersey in the morning.
Ever see the sun/smog in Los Angeles in the morning? Try it - anytime.
Your fucking point is what ?
