[laughter] ms. sridharan: -- but -- clerk it's minus one. to tell my [laughter] ms. sridharan: -- but -- plu one or minus one. what the epa had to do as a first matter is acknowledge th problem. so we're very far from talking about the line-drawing things that you're talking about. what the epa had to do was consider whether, under this method, it would need to address contingencies. and we're familiar in other areas of law where -- for example, in electis w, where you run a number of simulations and decide, you know what, we have a critical ss of a particular solution. let's apply that. let'head with that. justice kagan: thank you. chief justice roberts: justice go justice kavanaugh? justice barrett? justice jackson? justice jackson: so my understanding is that you actually asked the d.c. circuit to delay merit

epa's solid waste program forms are relatively new. the problems are old and will take a long time to solve. 6 billion tons of solid and hazardous waste are produced in the united states each year and deciding what to do with this mess or better yet, how to reduce it will not be easy. we have made a good start. regulations governing the treatment. storage and disposal of hazardous waste are now in place. we have also moved forward against the problems arising from inactive sites under our superfund authority. epa and the states have almost completed the inventory of potentially hazardous sites. the complex process of determining what to do at particular sites and who should do it is underway at many of them. the effort to control the harmful effects of the toxic chemicals used by our technological society is one of the most difficult and complex tasks ever devised. there are over 60,000 chemicals in commerce. between three and four pounds billion of pesticides are used each year. it is the job of the office of pesticide needs and toxic

how big of a move do you think this is for the epa today? >> this is a consequential, historic monumental decision from the epa. this is probably the most consequential decision the epa has made with regards to drinking water in a generation. it is really hard to overstate the importance and the impact of this rule. pfas are incredibly ubiquitous. the contamination in the united states is incredibly pervasive. and this is the single most efficient way that the epa can reduce our exposure to these toxic chemicals. >> i mentioned michael regan seems to think that this could change people's lives. you seem to believe that health applications here are enormous. >> it is hard to overstate. in fact, how significant the impacts are on public health. not only alife changing regulation, this is a lifesaving regulation. because of these new rules, people will be exposed to significantly lower amounts of pfas. and thousands of lives will be saved and there will be tens of thousands fewer like heart -- preeclampsia, immune effects, hypertension, and lis

the actions by the democrats and the epa aren't driven by facts. they are driven by that party's blind faith in their climate religion, a faith that says we need to prioritize, as the president has told the epa, prioritize climate over energy for our country that is affordable, available, or reliable. how does that weigh out? how do people feel about that? which do you want? you want energy that's affordable, available, reliable? well, then you're for this piece of legislation we're talking about today. for the climate alarmists who continue to come to this floor and harp about the issues, let me point out to them the inconvenient truth. the inconvenient truth is the american people do not want to buy i.v.'s. they aren't interested in the cars or trucks that are too expensive and too unreliable and for them, too inconvenient. the public has legitimate concerns about the lack of charging stations around the country and time it takes to recharge. e.v. batteries lose their charge in the cold of winter. we have longer winters in wyoming. we also have l
