Freedom Bulwark | Evil triumphs when good people do nothing

In the past several weeks, The Clean Air Act has come under heavy fire by House Republicans. The House GOP has proposed a legislation that is aiming to abolish the Environmental Protection Agency’s flagship regulatory standard.  Along with the ban, the EPA is facing a potential budget cut of nearly one third of its total funds. If the proposed legislation becomes law, the EPA will be decimated, and the general public’s health will be put at risk.

While the GOP has been receiving the most attention regarding their proposal to block EPA climate regulations, the Senate is going to have the final say. Three amendments that are aiming to strip the EPA’s ability to regulate greenhouse gas emissions are to be deliberated on the Senate floor this week.  In fact, this Monday, top lawmakers will be considering a Republican proposal that wishes to permanently remove the EPA’s authority over the regulation of power plant’s and refinery’s greenhouse gas emission levels.
