Maybe they didn't try the right approach?

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 McCarthy’s 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 hasn’t,” McCarthy said in an interview at EPA headquarters. “We couldn’t 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.

Yeah, it is a shame. I can’t imagine why you couldn’t connect with rural America. Maybe it had something to do with you telling them what they can and can not do?
Someday solar will be a valuable addition, but that’s all it is....an addition
Have you seen wind farm? They are a blight upon the earth. Ugly, noisy, violently killing the birds that fly into them. Maybe liberals can concentrate on re-education schools for birds.
Solar? Again have you seen miles and miles of solar panels? Destroying the desert and and the weird and wonderful creatures that live there. I had a stupid liberal say well it provides shade for them. If they wanted shade they would live in an Ohio forest. I’d have no problem accepting this if they provided enough electricity to power LA but it doesn’t. And have you seen the scorched and burnt birds?
These people don’t care about the earth. They care about their pockets and have the nerve to point their fingers at us! Hypocrites
Is this woman out 1/20/2017?
One dollar gas and low cost ways of heating and air conditioning homes means a few thousand dollars more to spend or save for the average family. THAT is trivial to the EPA but vital to average folks.
If the US maxed out energy production it would be a boon to the US and world economy. It would fake money from the trouble makers in Russia and the Middle East.
Oh yea, they connected alright, but we weren’t buying it.
One of the more difficult questions these environmental idiots can’t seem to answer is “Where does electricity come from?” Their answer of “a plug in the wall” leaves a lot to be desired.
There in lies the problem with the manner in which EPA operates.
Like the way they connected with the Bundy brothers and Robert ‘LaVoy’ Finicum in Oregon?

Remember in November ’18 !
Since Trump entered the ’16 presidential too late for patriots to make sure that there were state sovereignty-respecting candidates on the primary ballots, patriots need make sure that such candidates are on the ’18 primary ballots so that they can be elected to support Trump in draining the unconstitutionally big federal government swamp.
Noting that the primaries start in Iowa and New Hampshire in February ‘18, patriots need to challenge candidates for federal office in the following way.
Patriots need to ask candidates why the Founding States made the Constitution’s Section 8 of Article I; to limit (cripple) the federal government’s powers.
Patriots also need to find candidates that are knowledgeable of the following Supreme Court clarifications of the federal government’s limited powers.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
”State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress [emphases added].” —Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
Note that such a Congress will also be able to finish draining the swamp with respect to getting the remaining state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices off of the bench.
Does this mean I can sweep the “wetland” off my driveway when it rains again?
Maybe it has something to do with them thinking they own the water coming out of you downspout.
Good Lord. These people are so out of touch and delusional it is nearly unbelievable.
Nearly.
When they go to their rich liberal acquaintances and less-rich useful idiots who buy into their crap, they are all on board with the the comically useless liberal schemes to get windpower and solar to be the main source of energy, as long as they don’t have to pay for it or be inconvenienced by it, like the Kennedy’s who mouth platitudes about it, but when there is a possibility they will see them on their pastoral seascape, it is a different thing.
The less wealthy ones are good as long as they don’t shell it out of their pockets.
Maybe they didn't try the right approach?
People in flyover who have dealt with the EPA hate them.
Trump will “connect.”
It always comes down to some variant of: “We regret that you are too stupid to believe our lies.” :)
It is tough to connect with folks, when you militarize a white-collar agency, kill a river by ripping open a mining pond, and sue the pants off of landowners for having rain-collection ponds on their private property.
They may be rural voters, but they didn’t just fall from the turnip truck. They would not easily fall in line with a mere EPA ‘Outreach Program’ (i.e. Propoganda).
I think the EPA connected with them very well. They almost unanimously hate the EPA and all the liberal clap trap it stands for.
The trouble with rural folk is that they are too dumb to realize that embracing fuels that won’t work or are too pricey in their meager family budgets is important to protect folks in other countries that still use fires to burn out areas to plant and dirty coal to run their factories.
A city slicker might have a problem selling that to my grandpa and daddy.
