Just a quickie - See it referreda lot on this forum but what does EPA mean?

 

Enviromental Protection Agency. The FEDS thatTHINK they know whats best for the enviroment.

 

Thanks Buddy - it's a bit obvious when explained duh!!!!! Our equivalent is "The Department for the Environment and Rural affairs" or DEFRA which all sounds a bit Orwellian to me!!

Take care ride safe.

 

You're in the UK. I'll cut you some slack.
Environmental Protection Agency - a US government beauracracy(SP?) setup to make the planet better by regulating US companies. Who cares that China dumps way more crap into the Earth/Air/Water. We have to make it hard for our own companies to do buisness. And this is without the treehuggers trying to stop progress. Speaking of which I got a few carbon credits for sale. Any takers??

 

Chanel 4 a TV network over here ran a documentary recently called "The Great Global Warming Swindle" http://www.channel4.com/science/micr...rming_swindle/ If you have the time this is WELL worth watching and debuncts a lot of the BS spoken about Global Warming.

 

Texas has it right. If it weren't for the EPA and OSHA etc., we would be able to make a lot more products here. They make it a lot more expensive to manufacture here compared to other countries. We can kick anyone's butt if given a level playing field. We should be charging tariffs according to the amount of pollution etc. that they are allowed compared to what we are allowed.
