E-mails show that Obama’s EPA (Via butch Gina McCarthy) has been colluding with radical environmental groups such as the Sierra Club to kill the Keystone Pipeline. In yet another Obama scandal, e-mails show that the Obama regime has been actively trying to stop the project for years. Frankly. I don’t know what Canada is waiting for. It’s obvious King Hussein Obama isn’t going to ok the Keystone Pipeline. The Canadians should just cut a deal with China and give Obama (and Gina McCarthy) a big middle finger.
The emails were obtained under a Freedom of Information Act request by the Energy and Environment Legal Institute. In one communication, Lena Moffit of the Sierra Club wrote to three senior policy staffers at the EPA, including Michael Goo, who was then the associate administrator for policy.
“Thanks so much for taking the time to meet with us on Keystone XL yesterday,”she wrote. “Let me know if I can be helpful in any way — particularly in further identifying those opportunities for EPA to engage that don’t involve ‘throwing your body across the tracks,’ as Michael put it.”
EELI senior legal fellow Chris Horner told Fox News that as a government agency, EPA couldn’t be seen as overtly trying to kill Keystone, but was reaching out to environmental groups for other ideas on how to do it.
“On its face,” Horner told Fox News, “it smacks of classic secret dealing and an uncomfortably close working relationship and one that is known to these parties, but quite plainly not advertised to the public.”
Barrasso was less diplomatic. “Despite the fact that Keystone XL has bipartisan support in Congress and from governors, environmental extremists inside and out of the administration are working behind closed doors to kill it,” he said.
