Some of the most outrageous provisions that have been added include:
-- An amendment that would block EPA from regulating deadly pollution like mercury, smog, and soot from power plants and cement plants.
-- A provision opening up lands immediately next to the Grand Canyon to uranium mining.
-- An amendment stripping Clean Water Act protections for the drinking water sources of 117 million Americans.
-- A provision preventing federal agencies from listing plant or animals species as endangered.
Taken together, these provisions represent the single worst attack on public health and the environment in American history.
