Raking in the bucks from underhanded Wall Street kick backs... Just as the regulators did in the Gulf of Mexico when inspecting oil rigs. And over a million fracking wells have been drilled!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where are the republicans and libertarians in all of this? Trying to shut down the EPA...

And replace it with what?
