The EPA’s Dirty Secret—How It’s Controlling Your Life & Raising Prices! - Mike Mauceli, Daren Bakst

Did you know that the EPA regulates over half of ALL U.S. government regulations? That’s right—this small but powerful agency has the ability to control what cars you drive, how energy is produced, and even what appliances you use.
