Scott Pruitt, head of the Environmental Protection Agency, is more interested in building his political career than he is taking on the Green Blob, insiders report.
Pruitt is also said to be behind attempts to remove at least one of the key phrases from the president’s long-awaited Executive Order on the environment.
It concerns a proposal to repeal the EPA’s Endangerment Finding on CO2 (the disastrous, unscientific, job-killing ruling introduced during the Obama Administration, which rebranded the harmless trace gas Carbon Dioxide as a dangerous substance).
If Pruitt is successful and this clause is removed from the Executive Order it will represent a major setback for President Trump’s war with the Climate Industrial Complex. It may also put into jeopardy the promises Trump made on the campaign trail to scrap “any regulation that is outdated, unnecessary, bad for workers, or contrary to the national interest.”
“This is the president’s one shot at winning this battle,” an ally in the EPA camp warns. “It’s like the French heavy cavalry at Agincourt: lose momentum and he’s going to get stuck in the mud being shot to pieces by the English longbows.”

Is it too soon to say i told you so?
Back in December I posted, “I see nothing in his background that indicates he would be a good pick to run the EPA.”
I am soooo sick of the so called News folks putting out Fake News
I call Fake News. Just more enemy action rumor planting whispered in someone’s ear from a swamp creature.
Is he one of those who was widely liked by Ivanka and her husband? Just curious....
“I think this group is screaming too soon.”
Trump been in office a couple of months. It’s amazing to see self proclaimed conservatives in the media rail against him.
I also think, as I have since trump announced his interest in this project, anyone who does so will be just sorry. If only for the simple reason than their future opinions will be devalued.
Trump is a winner. And he understands who it is he works for
Take it to the bank
Delingpole us goid , but I trust someone who has seen Pruitt in action.
Oh man what’s next ? If this wasn’t coming from Britebart it could be Fakery.
entrenched bureaucracies can be such messy things to unseat and abolish.. much less rein in..
shades of PoGo..
Yes, indeed.
“insiders report” = “unsubstantiated lies by obama EPA holdovers” = “fake news”
Were his lips moving?
Also a priority of liberal Democrat Jared Kushner and Ivanka, who has expressed support for such?
Very strange...smells ....
This?
It would be such a nice gesture if he would send all his employees Fukashema.
Sounds like any big wig manager that I worked under in corporate industry. All they thought about were themselves and their little fiefdom. Not the empire in itself, just what they had their grubby mitts around.
It all sounds oh so familiar doesn't it. Pitchforks and pointy sticks (or fast moving ones) come to mind.
Pournelle has formalized that as the Iron Law of Bureaucracy.

The only way to overcome it is with massive budget cuts, or better yet, completely disbanding an agency.
Bureaucracy isn’t limited to government entities, and see my previous.
