I guess there is just no middle ground here...
I asked for re-instatement of the Clean Water and Clean Air Acts ("energy exploration" has been exempt since 2005), look what they give us!
No worries about the NYGEIS, the feds will be controlling us if we piss...

FOXNews.com - Not So Private Property?: Clean Water Restoration Act Raises Fears of Land Grab

"The Clean Water Restoration Act currently pending in the U.S. Senate could reach to control even a "seasonal puddle" on private property. "
"This bill is described by opponents as a sweeping overhaul of the Clean Water Act that could threaten both physical land and jobs by wiping out some farmers entirely."

"Right now, the law says that the Environmental Protection Agency is in charge of all navigable water," said Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., chairman of the Senate Western Caucus and an opponent of the bill.
"Well, this bill removes the word 'navigable,' so for ranchers and farmers who have mud puddles, prairie potholes -- anything from snow melting on their land -- all of that water will now come under the regulation of the Army Corps of Engineers and the Environmental Protection Agency," he said.
