Some are, some aren't just as in any major operation. There probably
some wackos in the EPA that got hired because they were wacko going
the other way (the environmental harm of x isn't that great).
Sometimes the wackos are overridden in any government organization,
sometimes not. In whatever organization you were or are in, did or do
you have always confidence in the competence and sanity of management?

yes... but is NONE of the EPA and NO Environmental Group believable/
acceptable in environmental issues?

do you believe or trust NONE of them?
