The EPA’s Dirty Secret—How It’s Controlling Your Life & Raising Prices! – Mike Mauceli, Daren Bakst

Did you know that the EPA regulates over half of ALL U.S. government regulations? That’s right—this small but powerful agency has the ability to control what cars you drive, how energy is produced, and even what appliances you use. But is it really protecting the environment, or is it pushing an agenda that’s costing YOU money?

In this episode of The Energy Show with REI Energy, we’re exposing how the EPA has overstepped its original purpose and what’s being done to reform these outdated policies. Our guest, Daren Bakst from the Competitive Enterprise Institute, reveals how these regulations increase energy costs, limit choices, and hurt industries like oil and gas.

– How the EPA became one of the most powerful agencies in government
– Why outdated environmental laws are driving up costs for everyone
– The real impact of the Green New Deal and EV mandates
