The EPA was created to empower experts to make informed decisions with the goal of benefiting the public good. The science of regulating pollutants is hard, and neither our representatives nor the voters who elect them and ultimately hold them accountable should be expected to develop that expertise.
The vested interests who benefit from the fossil fuel industry control the flow of information to our representatives through lobbyists, and to the public through advertising. Panels of experts in their field are harder to influence.
