EPA fines Energy Department for missed Hanford deadlines

How foolish is this?! One government agency levies a fine on another. Therefore, the Energy Department will have to gut the public for more tax money to pay the fines to the EPA. The fines have no effect on the cleanup effort. It's just a re-distribution of tax money and there is absolutely no incentive for the Energy Department to complete its task. What a joke!

What does the EPA do with the $10,000 per week in fines? Do they return the money to the taxpayers?

I feel so ashamed of this system.
