Is EPA Endangering Manufacturing?

The manufacturing sector, in which I am employed, must be absolutely certain and adsolutely honest about the importance of clean air, clean water, species health and diversity (both plant and animal), and food safety, quality and integrity. The sustainability of life ranks highest in importance. Humans must absolutely reject accepting toxicity as a condition of manufacturing. We don't need the consumer lifestyle that badly. If life fails, then there is no need for manufacturing.

The decision to control greenhouse gases is not an either/or question of manufacturing versus ecology. By modifying the manufacturing processes to produce materials with appropriate attention to the waste stream, and by paying attention to the energy sources, manufacturing can be made more, not less profitable. It is a mental trap to allow the "we've always done it this way" mentality to overcome an examination of other options.

Furthermore, the alternative is quite clearly the extermination of most of the human race due to climate change. If you think that the risks are not overwhelmingly supported, you have not examined the actual scientific literature with an open mind.

This is the reason most manufacturing is leaving the USA. The only problem is we are told that we must upgrade our equipment to protect the environment or be fined daily for the contamination or be shut down. The only thing is when these plants shut down and move south or across the pond they do not have to play by the same rules. They start up these new plants paying lower wages and have no fear of the American EPA so they pollute the world any way, the only people who lose are the workers of the plant that shut down.Many manufacturing sectors have been hit hard by the EPA and the pricing that has allowed these other country's to put us out of a job. I think that all american company's no matter where they build should be under the same laws they are under in the US and foreign company's should be taxed for their failure to comply and a tariff placed on their product to the point these american company's can not make tons of profit off the destitute people while polluting this earth.We are all connected. But unfortunately nothing will happen we have been sold out america get use to it.
