oh, that's right eh, you spend time there. I'm looking forward to hitting Nashville someday soon.
I understand the goal of lowering pollution and I also play my part in helping achieve that goal but as I understand it, each state has their own EPA that's tasked with customizing pollution regs for that state based on its' unique situation. What's happening here is the PUSA is using an executive order to not only bypass the state's regulatory authority, but also skips congress on this.
It seems to me that each state needs to handle their own business, a shotgun blast federal approach to regulations like this seems myopic, especially when handled via exec authority.
