This week:The EPA is killing economic recovery with its costly regulations. But it is also undermining democracy. Through a combination of Congressional delegation and bureaucratic inertia, the EPA has come to operate beyond the effective control of the three constitutional branches of government. And the broad reach of EPA’s regulatory authority means that the agency exerts increasing control over the American economy. In fact, EPA is using its regulatory authority enact restrictions explicitly rejected by Congress. EPA’s power has led the Wall Street Journal to say that the 2012 election ultimately is about “whether to re-elect President Lisa Jackson, the head of the Environmental Protection Agency, which these days runs most of the U.S. economy.”
We’ve compiled some of our research that best explains why freeing American energy now is so important. Please go to the Free American Energy Now section of our website to find out more.
