The HEI is a dependent of EPA.
Mary Ellen Navas and Bob Archibald of a Utah enviro group write in the Salt Lake Tribune:
Seeking to satisfy critics, however, the EPA ordered an independent scientific review, subsequently taken on by the independent Health Effects Institute. Their three-year review reaffirmed all of the Six Cities findings: Cleaner air saves lives. Regulation works. Dirty air kills.
The Health Effects Institute is “independent”? It’s 50% funded by EPA! The other half now comes from Government Motors. The only thing HEI is independent of is independence itself.
EPA’s leadership in the OAQPS was behind much of this.
Poor darling. Didn’t your mother love you enough?
