Richard, I would guess this is not a case of misguided overregulation but rather, a case of intentional overregulation. Remember, this administration is committed to putting the coal industry out of business.
Much of the misguided overregulation is done by government employees who simply want to keep and advance in their meaningless jobs by implementing change, whether the change makes sense or not.
