EPA Used 20-Year-Old Jobs Data To Justify Regulations

Thought this was interesting even if it comes from a bias source.

The GAO’s most recent report not only found the EPA was using outdated employment data to analyze its rules, but also that the agency “did not monetize certain benefits and costs related to the primary purposes or key impacts” of rules reviewed by GAO. Rules like “reducing hazardous air pollutants and water quality effects” lacked monetary costs and benefits — a key way for the public and policymakers to analyze the trade-offs imposed by federal regulations.

While the EPA was not always clearly presenting the costs and benefits of its rules, it was able to incorporate the Obama administration’s “social cost of carbon” estimate into its regulatory analyses — a process that GAO says yielded “inconsistencies in some of EPA’s estimates and has raised questions about whether its approach was consistent” with federal guidelines.

The EPA fudged things to get the result that the administration wanted for its tree-hugging hippie crap regulations? This is my shocked face.

Every source from the Govmnt and the Left are biased. Let's just say it came from a non state owned propaganda outlet.

He was just using the rhetoric from the era the report the EPA used was from.

Good point, but then neither are relevant are they?

Except one was used to push for current regulations.

Swing and a miss
Well if you thought I was swinging I guess so. It really was more of a comment on his 80s style rhetoric. EPA using outdated studies for an EIS or regulation doesn't surprise me in the least.
