By Alan Caruba



THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY & ITS PROPOSED "MAXIMUM ACHIEVABLE CONTROL TECHNOLOGY" RULES: THE MACT RULES WILL BRING FEW BENEFITS, BUT WILL IMPOSE EXTENSIVE COSTS.

NOT ONLY IS EPA'S ANTI-MERCURY CAMPAIGN SCARING MOTHERS & CHILDREN INTO NOT EATING NUTRITIOUS FISH THAT IS RICH IN OMEGA-3 FATTY ACIDS, IT IS ALSO RAISING ELECTRICITY, HEATING, AIR CONDITIONING & FOOD COSTS, IMPAIRING ELECTRICAL RELIABILITY, COSTING JOBS, & THEREBY HARMING THE HEALTH & WELFARE OF COUNTLESS AMERICANS. MANY SEE THE EPA'S ACTIONS AS CONSTITUTING A MASSIVE POWER GRAB THAT THREATENS TO GIVE THE AGENCY NEARLY UNFETTERED POWER OVER THE ENERGY WE NEED TO SUPPORT OUR LIVELIHOODS & LIVING STANDARDS.
