BIDEN’S NOMINEE FOR EPA CHIEF IS KNOWN FOR HIS INTEREST IN COMBATTING “ENVIRONMENTAL RACISM”: If he’s confirmed by the Senate, we will likely be in for an interesting few years.

The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights did a report on environmental racism a few years back. Its empirical research demonstrated the opposite of what my progressive colleagues expected: It showed that coal ash dumps were disproportionately located near whites. Somehow that research got buried in the report. My dissent is here.
