Cool pavement’ to cut urban street heat gets first California tryout in Canoga Park

The morning temperature of the black asphalt in the middle of a nearby intersection read 93 degrees. The new light gray surface on Jordan Avenue r ead a cool 70 — on what would turn out to be the first heat wave of the year.

States have their own EPA's. They don't have to wait for, nor depend on, the federal government to "protect" their environment.

If you'd like to wind the clock back and enjoy what the state EPA's looked like going into the 1970's I'd love to join you.

Can you give me a complete, state by state analysis for the 1970's?

Are you of the opinion that states, communities, people cannot evolve to meet and solve problems without a central mastermind herding them, dictating to them how, what, and where?

Is it a given for you that the citizens and politicians of a state, or community, will forever continue to destroy themselves unless the central dictator from DC saves them?

If you think so little of people and their communities, what gives you faith in those who people the federal government? You don't like the current ones. The federal pols will not always be the ones you approve of. Not always be the ones who do what you want them to do.

There is the intention that the states are the laboratory of experiments for government policy. Models that work well will be copied. Those which fail, won't.

great question...they all lie...they all work the system to their benefit...they all try to stay in Washington as long as possible so that they can continue to lie and work the system....and that's who we want making decisions for us?

If that’s the case, why are the feds saying they will not allow states to set their own emission standards

Because the feds are acting unconstitutionally. They have created regulatory agencies the type of which there is no provision in the Constitution to do. There is no provision in the Constitution for Congress to delegate its fundamental power of legislation at all, certainly not to ANY type of unelected agency. The unelected bureaucrats of the federal regulatory agencies have plenary power to create federal laws. Only Congress is constitutionally given such power. And it is given that ability only within the small scope of powers given to it in the Constitution. And because Congress is elected, it is directly responsible for the effects of laws it passes to those who elected them.

Federal regulatory agencies cannot be checked by the people's will. They are beholden only to themselves.

And much of which the regulatory agencies do is actually outside of federally enumerated power.

If you don't like how the agencies act now, blame it on what you love--SCOTUS Judges who interpreted not the law, but what they preferred.
