The EPA has been the subject of political football almost from the get go yanked one way or the other depending on which party was in control of the whitehouse.

I do think Congress has the right to get involved. EPA should report to us the consequences of not following their recommendations, but I don't see how they can operate in a political vacuum.

There should be hearing(s) and a debate on the proposed course of recommendations and industry Presidents/CEO's should be subpeonaed to testify so that they can't hide behind lobbyists. I think it would make more people willing to pay for clean & green (through higher utility rates) if it heard the industry saying it had to pollute or go bust, or conversely, make the industry back off that point.
