Ten States sued the EPA on Friday because that agency failed to post new revised regulations regarding soot...the air pollution from power plants and some vehicles.
Alabama was not, of course, among them. Alabama wants The EPA to do just what is has done about the soot regulation: nothing. In fact, Alabama would be perfectly satisfied if every one of the EPA employees went home and turned off all of the lights.
We are home, after all, to the country's largest toxic waste dump and the largest commercial landfill East of The Mississippi.
Pollution R' Us.
