"AFPM hopes that Ms. McCarthy will end the Agency's increasingly politicized culture, and that her tenure at EPA will be remembered for rulemaking based on transparency and scientific accountability.  We hope she chooses to end the days of  'silo political regulations' in which government regulators ignore the real marketplace and issue conflicting rules and mandates that impose higher energy costs on consumers and jeopardize job growth, all while offering negligible environmental improvements.

"We look to Ms. McCarthy to begin an era where the energy industry and government regulators work together to ensure that all efforts to protect our environment not only make sense, but that they don't come at the expense of job growth and economic stability."
