The Energy 202: EPA tried speeding up its science reviews. Now the reviewers say it won't work.
Then-acting Environmental Protection Agency administrator Andrew Wheeler on his way to a news conference in Philadelphia in February.
But now, the independent scientists it charged to do the work instead are saying they want the original panel back. And the deliberations about pollution rules are dragging on even longer. to agency chief Andrew Wheeler, the EPA's seven-member Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee acknowledged it does not have sufficient expertise to do the work once done by a 20-member panel.
The EPA is weighing whether it should reverse its decision. “The agency thanks the CASAC for their review and advice and will carefully consider the comments and recommendations in the CASAC report,” the EPA said in a statement. “He made a mistake, and I think the best thing he can do to correct the mistake is reinstate the panel,” Frey said.of two specialized pollution panels — one on particulate matter and another on a noxious form of oxygen called ozone — whittled down the number of independent air-pollution researchers reviewing the latest air-pollution research, and was viewed by Goldman and some other observers as an effort to sideline science that stands in the way of President Trump's pro-industry agenda.
Lawmakers, tribal leaders and environmental groups called for stricter federal oil and gas regulations during a four-hour House Natural Resources subcommittee hearing held at New Mexico's state Capitol on Monday.
