I saw the EPA going to court stating, with regard to peat bogs, that the whole bog was hydrologically connected. As Dr. Cotter is aware, when a case was brought in the past few weeks and the EPA was asked for the evidence and science of it, it had none to produce even though the EPA believes in science. An ordinary person had to spend large amounts of money to show hydrologically and ecologically that the bog was not connected. The EPA had nothing to counteract that. Does the EPA believe in science or its own theory?
