What Congress may or may not believe is not relevant in issues such as this. Our government is now predominately regulatory, the EPA need only proclaim a standard based entirely on whatever goal they wish to enforce and then use the power of the government to police their desires. This ultimately leads to governmental force against anyone who cannot or will not voluntarily comply.
Then how do you explain the dismal lack of enforcement of the Clean Air and Clean Water Acts?
