Eric, that was the 1970's NOT the 1890's...= )
Every state has it's own department of the Environment, there isn't a constitutional mandate for a federal EPA... and there is no way that the people would allow a return to those days. It would be FAR from a total lack of rules. The marketplace demands green, getting rid of the EPA and allowing the marketplace to dictate fuel economy and emissions with their pocket book would have the same results.
You're also musing in near hysterics, we still have the Clean Air Act and Clean Water Act. A Clean Environment has nothing to do with the EPA.
The EPA, another one of Nixon's mistakes...
