It’s more than a racket than just that. EPA/federal gov pays the court/lawyer fees for these environmental groups to sue them, no matter if they win or not. Because there’s not a limit on the cost (i.e. make them only get paid for what a government lawyer would get paid), the groups hire high-powered law firms. That’s not even mentioning the fact that EPA will decide to “lose” lawsuits that it could have won by merit – simply because they wanted the outcome anyway. If you want to see a good case of this, look at the Numeric Nutrient Criteria that forced upon Florida recently, which limits all nitrogen and phosphorus in water discharges. When that one goes to the other agriculture states, they are totally screwed.
