Now you can see the extremist structure the NRC is modeled for? It is Republican model and un-American. It disenfranchises the peoples of the USA. The Republicans floated this same model for Deep Water Horizon. Its structure is designed by the corporations. I am sure the Democrats gain benefits for allowing it?
With help from Alex Guillén, Bernie Becker, and Elana SchorGOP platform proposes turning EPA into a commission
REPUBLICAN PLATFORM TRANSMOGRIFIES EPA INTO A COMMISSION: The Republican Platform 2016 offers a fresh plan for an old GOP target: it calls for converting the EPA into a bipartisan commission. As Pro's Alex Guillén writes, the platform says that air and water has been getting cleaner over the last few decades, and that trend will continue with no further regulatory action. Republicans are proposing a "modern approach to environmentalism ... We propose to shift responsibility for environmental regulation from the federal bureaucracy to the states and to transform the EPA into an independent bipartisan commission, similar to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, with structural safeguards against politicized science."
To remedy this conflict of interest, Congress should create an independent agency with enforcement authority to oversee all aspects of offshore drilling safety (operational and occupational) as well as the structural and operational integrity of all offshore energy production facilities, including both oil and gas production and renewable energy production. The roles and responsibilities of BOEMRE should be separated into three entities with clearly defined statutory authorities.
