And here is an article from one of the organizations I follow: https://waterkeeper.org/federal-appeals-court-orders-epa-to-strengthen-rule-on-toxic-wastewater/
Water is one of my favorite topics in policy because it is the lifeblood of civilizations. Wars are fought over it, we go to extreme measures to make it available, most of of planet is covered in it, yet we treat it like shit so often. Needless to say, some of the loosening of environmental regulations related to water that we have seen in the past several years have frustrated me, so I'm happy to see this come down. While this decision is in regards to a rule in place from 2015, there have been efforts to further weaken these regulations by the Trump administration, and so this ruling could bode well for challenges to those. That this comes out of the 5th Circuit is also notable, especially as the author of the opinion is a Trump appointee.
Michael Burry (played by Christians bale in “The Big Short”) was one of the first to see the housing market bubble coming and made billions on the collapse, he is only investing in one thing these days, water.
