Collusion is an agreement between two or more parties, sometimes illegal and therefore secretive, to limit open competition by deceiving, misleading, or defrauding ..

don’t worry. only big evil oil companies are guilty of this.
It is always about control with this administration.

"Alaska is a long way from Washington, D.C.,” Rep. James Lankford, R-Okla., told Fox News. “There is no reason for Washington, D.C., to run affairs in Alaska.”

I suppose Oklahoma is a lot closer to Alaska... just sayin.

The fact of the matter is that the local Alaskans that depend upon the Salmon harvest in the area that WILL BE affected by this mine, DO NOT wish to risk destroying their livelihood.

Copper mining is one of the most environmentally unfriendly mining operations there is. Just saying.

“neutral and scientific review”

Has the EPA ever done that? No wonder so many consider the government to be a mortal enemy.

That doesn’t explain why the EPA was intent on killing the project two years before any study was done.

In 2008, two years before Parker and the tribes’ electrifying letter, the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation gave nearly $3 million to Alaska groups for purposes they described as, “Pebble mine campaign coordination,” and $766,000 more in 2010, according to their Form 990 reports. Moore gave activists two years to pressure EPA in preparation for Parker’s and the tribes’ letter.

In fact, the agency leadership had not made a decision on whether to proceed to 404(c) action until the scientific analysis was complete," the EPA said.

Sure they will wait until they have sucked every possible dime in fees for processing application paper work from the mining company before disapproving the project.

Five of the Worst EPA Fails

1.Gina McCarthy’s former deputy stole $900,000 from the EPA

2.Former EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson still hasn’t come clean about her email addresses

3.EPA is in violation of a subpoena regarding their costly regulations

4.EPA colluded with radical environmental interests to block the building of a pebble mine-before they could even submit a plan

5.The EPA’s own Inspector General admits that their employees have trouble understanding science!
