Between this article, and the previous five in the six-part series ("State of Denial"), an (in my opinion) impenetrable case is made that TCEQ is a sham body, riddled with political and private-sector conflicts of interest that make it fundamentally unsuitable as an enforcement vehicle for federal environmental protection laws. It is a prototypical example of regulatory capture.</p><p>And the (federal) EPA's refusal to act in the face of that reality makes them complicit, if not downright duplicitous. As far as I'm concerned, the EPA is treating Texas as a Sacrifice Zone in order to allow out-of-state interests to continue accruing short-term returns, at the expense of the long-term health and well-being of Texans.</p><p><a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/TCEQ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TCEQ</span></a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/texas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>texas</span></a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/RegulatoryCapture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RegulatoryCapture</span></a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/environmentalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>environmentalism</span></a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/SacrificeZone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SacrificeZone</span></a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/EnvironmentalRacism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EnvironmentalRacism</span></a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/ICN" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ICN</span></a></p>
