The EPA has removed the value of a human's life from its cost-benefit calculations. Not metaphorically - literally. Andy wrote about this disregard for the value of human life in Fortune today:

Federal Court Strikes Down Texas Law that Punished Responsible Climate-Conscious Investors - American Sustainable Business Network Austin, Texas – The U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas has struck down Texas’ Senate Bill 13, known as the “business blacklist law.” SB 13 undermined the freedom to invest, penalizing private companies and state entities, including pension funds, that made sustainable investments and were perceived as “boycotting” fossil fuel companies.

We’re celebrating a major win: a federal court officially struck down Texas’ “anti-ESG” law, permanently barring the state from enforcing restrictive investment blacklists.
