EPA’s ‘Environmental Justice’ Plan Further Weaponizes The Agency

Fundamentally flawed. That’s the only way to describe the Environmental Protection Agency’s new strategic plan.

Administrator Michael S. Regan wants to put the EPA “at the center” of the Biden Administration’s equity agenda by pushing “environmental justice” policies likely to cause more harm than good.

Instead of purportedly protecting minorities from a disproportionate share of eco-hazards, environmental justice puts unaccountable elites and their bureaucratic minions in the position of regulating the dispossessed to the degree they become wards of the state – further disenfranchising them.

The EPA is proposing adding the pursuit of justice and equity as a fourth key agency principle while making environmental justice a “strategic goal.”

This has bugger-all to do with the environment, and is instead institutionalized racism.

It is the fundamental nature of ALL government agencies to seek more power.

This is why they all need to be watched closely.
