Interview: The Regulation Trap Strangling America

About this episode
Myron Ebell discusses the regulatory challenges facing mining and infrastructure projects in the U.S.
Myron Ebell of FixTheEPAVeto.org zeroes in on a regulatory time bomb most people have never heard of — Section 404C of the Clean Water Act, which allows the EPA to veto a mining or infrastructure project after billions have already been invested and construction has begun, making serious capital commitment essentially impossible. The problem goes deeper than any one provision: China controls the processing of nearly every critical mineral the U.S. needs for AI, defense, and manufacturing, while domestic mining faces 10-20 year permitting gauntlets driven entirely by litigation from environmental groups.
