That would be two of the wisest things Congress could ever do.

Yes the state, maybe we need to provide the EPA with more funding so they can provide the oversight that is sorely lacking in many states. The state of WV inspected the site but found no issues.

So you agree, the care of the nations environment shouldn't be left to a few well connected types who spend most of their time isolated in DC counting contribution money.

We don't need any regulations impacting water supplies, totally out of touch.

No, care of the environment should not be left up to idiots who believe that man cannot harm it because of the fairy tales they subscribe to...

“Genesis 8:22 that I use [in The Greatest Hoax] is that as long as the Earth remains there will be springtime, harvest, cold and heat, winter and summer, day and night. My point is, God's still up there, and the arrogance of people who think that we, human beings, would be able to change what he is doing in the climate is to me outrageous.” James Inhofe.

Well, then in that case, nobody can be counted on.

Politicians have never failed to do the wrong thing and pursue the ends of re-election rather than wisdom.

In that case, I'd rather have someone quoting the Bible and saying "leave it to the states, the arrogance of men in power is greater harm than anything else..."

How did you come up with that? I really don't care as long as people who live in a make believe world are not in charge....It's your country, not mine and we have enough problems here in Canada with our evangelical AGW denying prime minister....
