The Invisible Hand On Coal
See if you can find the invisible hand of George W. Bush in this report of a recent action by the Environmental Protection Agency.
If your answer was “It’s in the whiny attitude of the coal industry spokesperson” you’re absolutely right. We’ve got plenty of regulations protecting the environment, Bush’s EPA was just run by people who didn’t think the rules should be enforced, and the industries got used to it. If the lobbyists are complaining, take it as a positive sign that someone at the EPA is actually interested in enforcing the laws we already have.
