The decision comes after a ProPublica investigation revealed that the EPA had found that one of the fuels had a cancer risk more than 1 million times higher than the agency usually considers acceptable.

Ah cool the EPA is a captured industry, good to know.

It's not an industry, and it's something that can happen to any agency. Figure out how to recover it if you want ANY environmental protection agency, because this kind of stuff can happen with ANY remotely compromised protection agency.
