I won't ask who these "thousands of scientists" are, but it's not just the
(very real) environmental risks that are at issue. There are health
concerns also. Remember the brown haze that used to blanket L.A.? Ever seen
footage of the pollution that chokes Mexico City (where they don't have
pollution laws)? You might debate how much this affects the environment
overall, but there is no doubt that it poses a very real and dangerous
health risk.

And now for today's junior high government lesson :-) The EPA is not a
legislative entity and has no power to pass *any* legislation. They may
propose regulations, but it is Congress (speaking of whims and power games)
which passes these regulations into law. I'm sorry that your right to
pollute the environment is being restricted, but what about the right to a
clean non-polluted environment?
