Has Big Oil Staged A Coup Of Our Government? Farron Cousins, Ring of Fire Radio/DeSmog Blog/Trial Lawyer Magazine. When Scott Pruitt gave his first official speech as EPA administrator earlier this week - he didn't even mention global warming once.
Apparently - the fate of the planet isn't something the nation's top environmental regulator thinks he should be worrying about. Instead, he's spent a good portion of his career SUING the agency he's now leading - and to put it bluntly - is
a basically glorified lackey for the fossil fuel industry. That has now been made abundantly clear thanks to the Center for Media Democracy - which this week secured the release of around 7,500 previously withheld emails from Scott Pruitt's time as Oklahoma Attorney General.
Agelbert NOTE: With
Trump and Pruitt and Tillerson , EVERY operation on the following map of Federal lands that the fossil fuelers drill for and extract hydrocarbons has NOW been "freed" from any environmental regulations. IOW indiscriminate POLLUTION from flaring, leaks and spills is NOW the "incentive" that Trump just gave them to INCREASE production more, uh "profitably". Have a nice day.
