Summary

Myron Ebell of FixTheEPAVeto.org zeroes in on a regulatory time bomb most people have never heard of — Section 404C of the Clean Water Act, which allows the EPA to veto a mining or infrastructure project after billions have already been invested and construction has begun, making serious capital commitment essentially impossible. The problem goes deeper than any one provision: China controls the processing of nearly every critical mineral the U.S. needs for AI, defense, and manufacturing, while domestic mining faces 10-20 year permitting gauntlets driven entirely by litigation from environmental groups.

He is with fix the EPA veto.org.

0:13.0

And he's been pushing a deregulation agenda for quite some time.

0:17.2

And as you know, I've talked about this.

0:18.9

I think the greatest problem that, uh, problem that we

0:22.1

have here in the U.S. in terms of being able to grow our economy and being able to have

0:27.6

manufacturing, all the rest of stuff is the strangling regulations coming out of Washington.

And probably nowhere is that worse than, uh, in the environmental regulations. And so,

I know some of the people that were part of that.

I had worked with them at American Tradition Institute, which now has become E&E News. And so they had some high expectations. Some good things were done. Some things were left

1:32.7

Well, there are a number of environmental laws that are a problem and that need reform

1:39.1

and making faster.

1:54.2
