Modernize EPA! (CEI guidebook is out)

“Kudos to CEI for its unwavering dedication to principled scholarship in its long, oft-ignored fight against junk science and creeping Statism in energy and environmental issues. Their time has finally come to be on offense–and at the pinnacle of political power that they want to diminish.”

A reform movement has begun to revamp the politicized, off-track U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The Competitive Enterprise Institute, a scholarly think/do tank, has just released Modernizing the EPA: A Blueprint for Congress (website here) to raise the debate for intellectuals, the public, and lawmakers.

CEI’s blueprint just begins a long-term project on EPA reform. Why? As the press release explains:

The EPA arguably has the largest regulatory effect on the lives of everyday Americans compared to other federal agencies. According to the Office of Management and Budget, more than half of all federal regulatory costs can be attributed to the EPA.

DeSmog’s Climate Chart Needs You!

“Politicians, donors, think tanks, and media outlets in the UK and U.S. are working increasingly closely to scupper climate policies and promote fossil fuel extraction,” reports the Progressive Left climate group DeSmog. The chart below attempts to capture the players, but far too many are missing from the U.S. side. [1]

Climate Annoying? Open the Mind Instead

“… talking to your friends and family [about climate change] … is a great place to start. You might be annoying. But you’ll be helping.” – Sammy Roth [1]

Sammy Roth, climate columnist at the Los Angeles Times, might need an intervention from a loved one. He wants us all, like him, to annoyingly talk about climate change. I doubt many will take him up on it, and his next family get-together might hang in the balance.

Roth states in Boiling Point: Want to fight climate change? Then talk about Climate Change (February 25, 2025):

When people ask me what they can do to support climate progress, one piece of advice I give again and again is to annoy their friends and family by talking about climate change constantly.
