In the name of job creation and clean energy, the Obama administration has doled out billions of dollars in stimulus money to some of the nation's biggest polluters and granted them sweeping exemptions from the most basic form of environmental oversight, a Center for Public Integrity investigation has found.Sounds perfect to me. :'D Other than the "stimulus money". Thanks GlockThe Vote. Really though, with a corrupt, anti-American, racist Sock Puppet and incompetent empty suit, the HuffPo jackoffs have no complaint coming.

Before Gulf Spill, BP Refinery Won Stimulus Grant
BPs ill-fated Texas City refinery site of that deadly 2005 explosion has also managed to qualify for a NEPA exemption for the first phase of a stimulus project. Under the grant, industrial gas maker Praxair has led an experiment to capture carbon emissions from the refining process and store them underground in nearby oil fields, to both enhance peak-oil production and reduce greenhouse gases linked to global warming.
In October 2009, the Energy Department awarded $1.5 million to Praxair for preliminary planning and data collection. The company, which was to construct carbon-compression facilities, brought in pipeline operator Denbury Resources as a partner to potentially purchase the CO2, as its August 2009 application states. BP was to provide land and necessary utility infrastructure at its refinery.
