The EPA has bad news for all of us.

Now that the EPA has been ceded to people who don't care about the environment, and think protection is for suckers, we're about to see some significant changes coming. 

Among them are changes to any standards as it relates to car emissions. Who needs to regulate the gas mileage, having things like catalytic converters, or care about the toxicity of what's coming out of the tailpipe?

What matters is that car companies can choose what they want to sell and gas companies should be able to profit from lower gas mileage! Screw everyone. 

And there's a secondary problem that goes along with this. The EPA funds some efforts to reduce emissions, and as a result subsidizes the oil industry. 

When that funding source goes away, that means the subsidy goes away. And therefore, we as consumers will pay more at the pump. How much more? I saw an estimate that it likely would be about $.79 per gallon. Meaning that today we're paying $3.17 a gallon. But shortly we'll be paying 25% more - or about $3.96 a gallon. 

And gas mileage likely will go down on new cars, ensuring that you will have to fill up more often. 

But hey. You voted for "lower gas prices" and now you get to FAFO.
