When lives are assigned a higher dollar value, stricter pollution standards tend to clear the 'economic efficiency' sniff test, resulting in cleaner air. But that improved air quality comes at the expense of America's industrial industries, which have to invest in pricey systems to reduce the amount of these pollutants they spew down to acceptable levels.
After a tumultuous year under the Trump administration, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has adopted a new, almost unrecognizable guise one that tears up environmental rules and cheerleads for coal, gas-guzzling cars and artificial intelligence. When Donald Trump took power, it was widely anticipated the EPA would loosen pollution rules from sources such as cars, trucks and power plants, as part of a longstanding back and forth between administrations over how strict such standards should be.
there are four Lysol brand products listed as registered antimicrobial products effective against Norovirus: Lysol Disinfectant Spray, Lysol All-Purpose Cleaner, Lysol Foaming Disinfectant Basin Tub & Tile Cleaner II, and Lysol Bleach Mold And Mildew Remover. Joshua Murphy, senior R&D associate at Reckitt, the company that produces Lysol, shares that the company did in-home non-porous surface transmission tests on Lysol Disinfectant Spray to show that the product doesn't just kill norovirus, but it also reduces the spread of the flu, COVID-19, and the common cold.
The president is absolutely right; and we've seen in the name of climate change, these left wing policies willing to cause extreme economic pain for people who can least afford it. We've seen in the name of climate justice, grants to $50 million to Climate Justice Alliance. They say that climate justice runs through a free Palestine. In the name of environmental justice, they will have tens of billions of dollars go to their well-connected left wing former Obama and Biden officials and Democratic donors,
The Supreme Court is expected to get a chance to take a second look at a landmark 2007 decision that paved the way for federal regulation of greenhouse gas emissions from motor vehicles, power plants, and other sources. But this time, legal scholars say, a shift in the makeup of the court may lead to a much different outcome, one that could have far-reaching implications for the nation's battle against climate change.
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), colloquially referred to as forever chemicals, are a class of thousands of chemicals that do not degrade in the environment and have been linked to a slew of worrying health outcomes, including various cancers, hormonal disorders, and developmental delays. Because they do not degrade, they are uniquely pervasive: a 2023 study from the US Geological Survey estimated that 45 percent of tap water in the US could contain at least one PFAS chemical.
Most EPA employees signed anonymously for fear of the type of retribution now seen in the Friday firings, which were widely anticipated after the agency moved to cancel employee bargaining and grievance rights agreements earlier in August. The employees had previously been placed on paid leave after the letter's release by the agency. This employment limbo was extended three times while they were under investigation for preparing the declaration during work hours, since extended into September for many of the remaining signatories.
