US EPA suspends enforcement of environmental laws because of coronavirus

See the EPA's official announcement, here.

See news coverage by The Hill, here: "EPA suspends enforcement of environmental laws amid coronavirus."

The environmental movement must respond forcefully to this major attack by the Trump administration on the rule of law. As Beyond Nuclear was quoted in Bloomberg:

“Regulations to ensure safety should be strengthened at a time like this -- not weakened,” said Kevin Kamps of the watchdog group Beyond Nuclear.

EPA's announcement is not only an undermining of regulations, it is an outright attack on hard won, decades-old environmental laws.
