it's always scary when any gov agency has to much power! (it almost always means more power has been took from the people) in theory the EPA seems like a good idea, but ultimately just another way for big business to guilt us into paying more for "green" products. global warming is complete bullshit! anyone who's done the research knows our beautiful life-giving sun goes through cosmic cycles. we are currently going into solar max, the strongest in recorded history, which seems to be part of a much larger/longer cycle. in thousands of years, when the next ice age comes, I'm sure people will be freaking out then too. man needs to learn to embrace the rythems of nature instead of fighting them.
