Yet more evidence that America's unreasonable regulations are a national security threat. This unduly red tape does nothing to serve the national interest ... or the common good.

U.S. regulations helped make China the top rare-earth producer

EPA proposal weakens air pollution limits on cancer-causing gas

The Environmental Protection Agency has proposed weakening air pollution limits for a chemical used to sterilize medical equipment. The move would reverse a Biden administration finding of high cancer risks at manufacturing facilities that use ethylene oxide to clean billions of medical devices. The EPA said it is concerned that the current Biden-era standards “actively threaten” manufacturers’ ability to sterilize equipment and jeopardize a secure domestic supply chain for essential medical equipment. Ethylene oxide plays a crucial role in sterilizing lifesaving medical devices, including pacemakers and syringes, but long-term exposure can cause leukemia and other types of cancer among people who work at medical sterilization facilities or live nearby.

Carbon emissions now more than double the planetary boundary, analysis finds

Earth is not infinite. Pollution beyond certain levels threatens the climate and ecosystems. To prevent this, scientists have proposed planetary boundaries, defining the safe operating limits of the Earth system. A KAIST research team recalculated climate change and nitrogen pollution using the same standard and found that current carbon emissions already exceed the planet's sustainable limit by more than double.
