anubis2814The #EPA needs its mission statement replaced. It was made to stop the visable #pollution, the visable ecosystem destruction, superfund site and protection of #endangered species.
It wasn't designed with climate change or racial equity in mind at all.
#Climatechange requires a way to override nimbys to streamline one time building of #transit., dense infrastructure and renewable power grids.
At the moment the EPA is set up so it can be used as a weapon to stop anything needed to fight Climate change in terms of infrastructure building.
There needs to be an option for the EPA to weigh damage of building over damage caused by Climate change from not building it.
There also needs to be mechanisms so that BiPOC have the same tools as nimbys currently have and will have in the future to ensure they aren't undualy taken advantage of like they always have been.
