This EPA candidate brags about suing the agency, calls climate science "unsettled"
What would happen if someone dedicated to undermining the agency that protects America’s clean air and water was put in charge of running it? We may be about to find out.
Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt is reportedly another leading candidate along with Kathleen Hartnett White for the job of administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency.
Pruitt, who met with President-elect Donald Trump in New York on Nov. 28, has used his current position to try to block some of the EPA’s most important air-quality rules.
On his own LinkedIn page, he boasts that he “led the charge with repeated notices and subsequent lawsuits against the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for their [sic] leadership’s activist agenda.”
Tries to block every EPA rule he sees
Since becoming Oklahoma’s top legal officer in 2011, Pruitt has sued the EPA to stop vital protections for public health – including standards for reducing soot and smog pollution that crosses interstate lines; protections against emissions of mercury, arsenic, acid gases and other toxic pollutants from power plants; and standards to improve air quality in national parks and wilderness areas. Each time he failed.
