Not being able to sell rural voters on the importance of switching from fossil fuels to solar and wind power is Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) administrator Gina McCarthys biggest regret, she said Friday.
We tried to change the outreach and messaging in rural America in a number of ways, but has it changed the rhetoric that people hear? It hasnt, McCarthy said in an interview at EPA headquarters. We couldnt get it, but I wish we had.
President Barack Obama nominated McCarthy to lead the agency in 2013. Her tenure has been riddled with controversies and marred by heavy-handed regulatory maneuvers.

If you call kicking them in the teeth connecting, I think the EPA did just fine.
problem is, we “rural” voters live in climates that can be REALLY cold in winter, REALLY hot in summer, and have to travel REALLY long distances to shop and work. Therefore we require copious, affordable, and reliable energy supplies to survive and prosper.
D.C.-dweller McCarthy probably doesn’t understand details like that about fly-over America, what with being chauffeured to and from air-conditioned buildings in air-conditioned limousines, and having a subway and taxi system for the rest of her transportation needs.
The EPA did connect with rural voters. But not in a good way.
I hear Trudeau is going on an Obama style Connecting Tour , LOL
Kind of like someone who robs your home saying their biggest regret is that they didn’t connect with you...
Oh she connected, alright ! She destroyed their jobs, spit on them, and treated them like lepers.
Suggest for the next time you are in a leadshiper position, try selling the benefits of a program. Discussion of the changes and fine tuning after the discussion is also important. That normally works better then ramming your program up people’s back side!
How can covering beautiful rolling hills with ugly bird killing monster mills be environmentally healthy?
And acres and acres of land covered with critter killing panels???
City folks are so stupid!
Oh I think they connected and it was all negative.
Buh-bye gina you asshole.
Can this Dingbat identify just one major city that is powered entirely by renewable energy?
Her problem is that she was not able to hoodwink folks who are actually closer to nature and who understand how ridiculous liberals are with their anti-fossil fuels arguments.
I just spent 300 bucks and three hours under my rear deck rerouting a sump line that the EPA mandated for my town.
My old system worked just fine e, but EPA thinks otherwise. Damned bureaucrats. Now, I will have to babysit my pump system when it freezes outside. Waste of money and time. EPA sucks.
This reminds me.
I have not heard anything about the Keystone Pipeline lately.
Is it too late? Did Canada give up on us?
Maybe claiming that their backyard creek was really a federal navigable waterway didn't help.

Had he tried to connect any further and actually went out into the hinterlands he would have probably disappeared having connected to the wrong rural voter he had regulated out of his job and or home, he had crapped all over them so much.
Typical arrogant liberal, and the worse kind of do-gooder, don’t you understand I know better than you ever will so despite your efforts to resist you will do as I say you rubes not as I do, it is for your own good. Puke...
They did connect and we learned all about them: they lie, they cheat, and they hate our guts and want to kill all our jobs and regulate us off our land and out of our homes.
Doh, those stupid rural folks - talking about land restrictions, land lock-ups, water restrictions, government green subsidies, solar panel climate limitations, wind turbine true costs, ethanol energy balance, ethanol true costs, food acreage diminishment, silly things like that...
