From Molly Ball's article in The Atlantic:

In a similar gesture of outrageous insensitivity to the feelings of Creepy-Crawly-Americans, some conservatives also want to get the controversial insecticide DDT unbanned by the EPA [3]. The free-market Competitive Enterprise Institute runs a website, RachelWasWrong.org [4], devoted to beating the drum for bringing back DDT, whose banning it terms the "dangerous legacy" of Rachel Carson's Silent Spring.
