Before the EPA every state had their own standards. To encourage industry relocation those standards might be lowered. That is the choice of that state but it affected other states too.It was the state of californication that decided to curb its air pollution....Thanks for playing
One state can sue another state in the Supreme Court, if SCOTUS agrees to take the case, but it is hardly a straightforward process since, without the EPA, there wouldn't be accepted standards to measure damage.So one state cant sue another state? I wonder if you are a product of the public indoctrination stations called schools?
The same standards that caused the river to be polluted? by the EPA...One state can sue another state in the Supreme Court, if SCOTUS agrees to take the case, but it is hardly a straightforward process since, without the EPA, there wouldn't be accepted standards to measure damage.So one state cant sue another state?

If you refer to your link, here is the headline:The same standards that caused the river to be polluted? by the EPA...One state can sue another state in the Supreme Court, if SCOTUS agrees to take the case, but it is hardly a straightforward process since, without the EPA, there wouldn't be accepted standards to measure damage.So one state cant sue another state?

Its hard to argue, man.well, you certainly make a good argument. But why would a state not have laws like that?!I think regulations should be at state level. Fed gov has no business doing that messI remember smog, water unsafe to swim in, and medical waste washing up on beaches. If we want a clean environment, maybe it doesn't make sense to eliminate the EPA and the regulations that led to a cleaner environment.
This is one of the few places I support the Feds being involved.
Pollution does not stop at a state line, it affects neighboring states as well who have no power to regulate what is happening to them.
Pollution being dumped up stream in one state will reach every state downstream.
Plain and simply, money. More relaxed regulations means more businesses come your way and your tax base goes up. More relaxed regulations means more profit for the companies which means more taxes for the state.
Here is a question that would need to be discussed : what about the constitutionality of it?
I know but we both know that is bullshit.Its hard to argue, man.well, you certainly make a good argument. But why would a state not have laws like that?!I think regulations should be at state level. Fed gov has no business doing that mess

There are a lot of great things i would like the fed gov to do but they dont have the power so i cant support it.
quote) not defending the EPA on the Colorado river spill, but it was an accident, EPA was trying to clean up a mess left buy mining, and made a mistake. so that makes the years of good clean up by the EPA not relevant ?????. this is not to say that there has not been over kill & in some cases & lack off proper clean up in others. we need the EPA watching out for US not big money polluters looking to make more profit.The same standards that caused the river to be polluted? by the EPA...One state can sue another state in the Supreme Court, if SCOTUS agrees to take the case, but it is hardly a straightforward process since, without the EPA, there wouldn't be accepted standards to measure damage.So one state cant sue another state?

Lefties want the government to take care of themselves.

Lefties want the government to work so when it fails we want it fixed. Righties don't want government to work so they look for excuses to eliminate it. It is known as throw the baby out with the bathwater syndrome.Lefties want the government to take care of themselves.

FBI warned about all the latest shooters, fails to protect, children die.
EPA spills TONS of toxic materials into the Colorado River and you guys just dismiss it. If this was a business that spilled all those chemicals, would you dismiss it or hold them accountable?

You do know that if all your rights in the constitution are eliminated, you will be at the mercy of said government, like Hitler's Nazis and Stalin's Commies. Why are you so stupid to not know that?

Which constitutional right did I say I'd like to give up? There is no constitutional right to put toxic waste into a river or blow smoke into my neighbor's yard.You do know that if all your rights in the constitution are eliminated, you will be at the mercy of said government, like Hitler's Nazis and Stalin's Commies. Why are you so stupid to not know that? Did you go to public schools?
I don't know what ideological fantasy world you live in but on this planet that just doesn't work.The only thing federal government is supposed to do is protect US from invasion, not take care of US from cradle to grave. So far of late, they cant even protect US from invasion, and keep people enslaved to the government by having the poor rely for their sustenance. Are you one of those people? Why cant you be reliant on yourself, and if a business does wrong, go after them by not purchasing their products, instead of a government entity that damages this planet much worse?
But what about the union electricians and plumbers who were hired by the company to follow the rules the government told the company to use? It is the fucking government that is the problem tard, because you so much want the government to protect you, and they fail, fail, fail.....Which constitutional right did I say I'd like to give up?

Here's an example I saw just the other day on HGTV. They said that some home builders create a company and build a handful of houses as cheaply as possible, knowing that in a few years they will leak and deteriorate. After building the houses the company is dissolved. After a few years the home owners realize the problems but their warranties are worthless since the companies are no longer to be found.
You can correct me if I'm wrong, you seem to say that you are willing to protect the environment on condition it doesn't cost you anything?Macron talked about there being no backup earth, and that resonated with me. I think one of the greatest tragedies in the last 20 years is the politicization of environmental issues. I agree with most republicans that the Paris Accord was a siphoning of us wealth with no impact on the environment. I also agree that college are getting paid to find results that are politically favorable. I don't want to get too much into climate change. Humans are definitely adding CO2, but I haven't seen anything that proves they are principle cause of a cataclysmic warming period. The earth has gone through many warming periods with little human impact. It seems keeping the earth a livable place should be right up there with defense. There does not have to be draconian measures that cripple businesses, but it would be nice if there was some sort of plan. Considering our schizophrenic form of rule where everything completely changes every 4 to 8 years, I see little hope of a meaningful plan clean up pollution. Our rivers are toxic if not flammable, the ocean is becoming a trash pile, and we have particles of plastic in our drinking water. I'm a republican, and this does not seem acceptable to either side of the aisle.
The Clean Air Act of 1970 was the cause of the vast improvement, the EPA was tasked to support the law.So if the EPA is not perfect it should be eliminated? There have been many successes THAT I CAN SEE WITH MY OWN EYES!You do know that if you pulled your head out of your ass, you too would see what a failure the EPA and other Government Agencies have failed the United States and its citizens.I remember smog, water unsafe to swim in, and medical waste washing up on beaches.

The EPA accidentally ripped a hole in a toxic mine in Colorado — it ruined a river and people are furious
Last week, the Animas River, which flows from southwest Colorado to New Mexico, started filling up with a toxic yellow stew from an old gold mine.
It's changed the color of the river to a mustard yellow, and so far it's stretched more than 100 miles, heading toward the Colorado River.
