The guy that let the EPA get created which made the USA not build any more nuclear power plants for civilian use just so his peanut farm can secretly get saudi oil discounts? Fuck that shithead

### REPLY:
I had no idea Carter started the EPA.  My teachers skipped over his Presidency but I’d be interested to hear if Carter was touting the virtues of reduced nuclear power beforehand.  If not, I can see why any President would enact the EPA given the issues laid out in Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring.
