Regulators Gone Wild: How the EPA is Ruining American Industry

Product Description

Rich Trzupek has spent over 25 years engaged in combat with the environmental movement on the front lines, helping America’s industrial sector defend itself against the increasingly aggressive tactics that environmental advocacy groups and their allies in the Environmental Protection Agency employ. In Regulators Gone Wild Trzupek lays out the inside story that describes the way the green/big government alliance has combined to stifle American productivity and hamstring American innovation, not by design, but as the inevitable consequence of pursuing a utopian vision of environmental purity that can never, ever be realized.

As a respected scientist and consultant, Rich Trzupek has been employed by some of America’s largest corporations and by some of its smallest, most innovative entrepreneurs. Those experiences have provided him with a unique perspective. While many of his colleagues in the industrial consulting community only consider the short-term profit opportunities that an overly aggressive EPA provides them, Trzupek takes a longer view. If the EPA continues to hamstring America’s ability to create wealth, everyone loses.

When it comes to today’s environmental issues, most of the public’s attention is focused on the issue of “climate change” and initiatives to reduce fossil fuel use and greenhouse gas emissions. As a climate change skeptic, Trzupek argues against these measures, but he sees the rise of this issue as another inevitable step in a progression that spans four decades during which the green movement has continually sought new ways to control industry and the EPA has always happily obliged them. Attempts to restrict America’s use of cheap, plentiful coal and stop oil exploration are just the latest examples of regulators gone wild.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Was determined to prove the stories were not accurate, October 19, 2011

    I have always been a big environmental activist. I heard about this book and had a hard time believing the stories were accurate. Last week I saw a story from the Associated Press that the EPA was considering making a regulation to limit the amount of dust released by farmers and decided to read this book, research the stories in the book, and give a review on here that didnt make the EPA look ridiculous. I guess I was hoping at least that the stories werent true and the agency responsible for protecting the environment was doing so - not hurting people in the process...or, even the environment in the end.

    I was surprised that after reading the book and researching the examples that I couldnt find a way to disprove them. Dont get me wrong, I am not trying to say this author is a liar or something, just hoped that people in the EPA were using common sense and was hoping this author was lying. I hope the people that put some of these regulations into place that dont make... Read more

    5.0 out of 5 stars It's In the Title -- Regulators Have Gone Wild, October 16, 2011
    Richard Trzupek's new book, Regulators Gone Wild, is timely and eye opening. Trzupek writes with an authority that only one who works on environmental regulations (Trzupek's day job) can. While one can glean from both the publisher and the thesis of the book that Trzupek leans right in his politics he has plenty of ammo for both sides of the political aisle when it comes to ridiculous and overwhelming regulations.

    In addition, it is clear that Trzupek understands and recognizes the need for regulation. This book is no empty-headed call to abolish all environmental regulation. It's a call for a return to normal -- reasonable -- regulation of industry. It's all in the title. Federal and state regulators have run wild -- exercising power foolishly out of otherwise good intentions or wielding it as a weapon to harm perceived enemies. Knowing and proving concepts are different things. Many of us have an idea that byzantine government regulations stifle business, eat... Read more

    5.0 out of 5 stars A great Read!, October 25, 2011
    Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
    This is a great read...it highlights how restricting the regulations in the US are. The title "Regulations Gone Wild" understates the currant state of regulations, I would have gone for somthing like "Stupid, cumberson and very costly government oversight" or "Big Brother is watching". This easy readable book should be a must read for all 2012 voters!!
