Good. Let's just say I work in a "business" that has to deal with the dictates of the EPA on occasion (if only from a second-order effect), and I am happy that they have been reigned in slightly. My experiences with this agency is one of dealing with a universe lazy, un-insightful and self-preserving "C" students, encased in a bloated government edifice and endowed with a singular agenda that really cannot comprehend how wealth is generated. Cross these dimwits with the much sharper people that work on the "other side" and make it a mission to compromise them, and you have a resultant mud that neither protects our environment or grows our economy.
At the end of the day, it is just another agency in the lap of the Executive branch, and will do the requested bidding appropriately. I really do think that you can accomplish some very constructive things via collaboration with industry and regulatory bodies (please don't use the tired "drill baby drill" refrain with me, I make quite a bit of bread via energy exploration, and that phrase is facile and moronic). The current EPA is a long way from such a place.
