I disagree. I would say it is more like giving the IRS the ability to write tax law selectively requiring some to be held to one standard and others to another standard. I don't want political appointees having that much power.
Also, let's understand the underlying strategy. Some can not get their way through legislation, so they want to use the regulatory process to bypass the legislative process. Liberal or conservative can we agree that is not a good way to run our country.

There are costs, but there are benefits. I would like honest discussion of the two. The pretense that severely limiting US industry through excessive and unreasonable regulation has no negative consequences is unacceptable. There will be no honest debate until there is real acknowledgment of the trade-offs from environmentalists.
