Regulators Gone Wild

Pages : 184
Book Description
Environmental regulations aren’t always about environmental protection. Today, more than ever, regulations seem to have been designed by activists, rather than scientists. Regulators Gone Wild is the shocking inside story of how the green movement and big government have united to stifle American productivity and hamstring American innovation, not by design, but as the inevitable consequence of pursuing a utopian vision of environmental purity. As a respected scientist and consultant, Rich Trzupek has seen the EPA lose its focus on cleaning up the environment, turning instead to mindless bureaucracies and sweeping policies with negligible environmental impact. Meanwhile, the green industry continues to exploit bad science to sell the public on their aggressive agenda. The result, Trzupek reports, is a plethora of regulations that have warped incentives and thwarted American industry’s ability to create long-term wealth. With these forces now focused on climate change and initiatives to reduce fossil fuel use, the march to castigate and control industry, Regulators Gone Wild contends, is entering an unprecedented and dangerous phase that could put the economic fortunes of the country in peril for generations. This enhanced ebook features the bonus video "The EPA's Green Tyranny".

Book Description
Cleaning America’s Air presents a brief but broad examination of the Clean Air Act of 1970—arguably the most significant piece of environmental legislation ever passed by the U.S. Congress—and some of the major policy and environmental milestones since its passage thirty-six years ago. The book’s contributors comprise a group of renowned policymakers, environmental regulators,and scientists. Former Vice President Al Gore advances a compelling case for reducing greenhouse gas emissions to curb global climate change. Former Republican Senator Howard Baker reflects on his remarkable collaboration with Democratic Senator Ed Muskie in drafting the act, which launched the U.S. environmental movement. Scientist Paul Gilman presents the latest scientific data pertaining to air pollution and its effects on the human body. Dale Ditmanson and Jim Renfro of Great Smoky Mountains National Park explore the destructive effects of pollution on the country’s most visited national park. Other contributors include Leon Billings, Senator Muskie’s chief of staff; Milton Russell, former EPA assistant administrator; TVA chairman Bill Baxter; and Betsy Child, former commissioner of the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation. Accompanied by numerous full-color photographs by Senator Howard Baker, this sweeping examination of the Clean Air Act presents a usable history, detailing the substantial progress achieved in controlling target pollutants, future targets, and the current state of science regarding America’s air quality.
