A group of 11 Republican-led states and energy industry groups have challenged a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency rule that bolsters state and tribal veto power over pipelines and other major infrastructure projects that might pollute rivers and streams.
Why do people vote for the people who want to pollute where they live? American right-wing politics never make any fucking sense.
They don’t
They voted for something else and didn’t care about the environmental point to begin with. It was never a talking point for their base.
But they’ll be the first to scream bloody murder when the creek in their backyard turns orange and smells like motor oil.
No, because the pipeline was built on tribal land and not through rich white suburbs
Yeah they’ve learned not to visibly pollute water or air used by people who can afford to sue.
