A former senior EPA official known for coordinating with environmentalists slammed the White House for pushing back on agency plans to regulate hydraulic fracturing for oil and natural gas, text messages show.
Michael Goo, EPA’s policy chief at the time, texted Sierra Club lobbyist John Coequyt that if environmentalists “want any hope of regulation of fracking then give us more time to try and remove the gun from our head and talk sense into OMB dickheads.”
“If you want the oil and gas nsps to give fracking a free pass, as OMB would like then don’t give us the extension,” Goo texted Coequyt, referring to proposed EPA New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for oil and gas fracking, according to The Washington Free Beacon. OMB refers to the White House’s Office of Management and Budget.
The texts were obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request by the Energy and Environment Legal Institute (EELI). This is the latest EELI release from the Goo files. Previous email releases show how Goo used his private Yahoo email account to coordinate with environmental activists....

Michael Goo? You cannot make this up!
Every EPA employee and contractor in the US needs to be arrested and placed in a gulag in the Aleutians.
Our Federal bureaucracy is rife with ideology, politics and cronyism.
“When you put your hand into a bunch of goo, that a moment before was your best friend’s face...you’ll know what to do...”
They have to stop the sue and collect cash cow for environmentalists
Trump is going to highly regulate the EPA employees pretty soon. Say goodbye to all your moronic power grabbing and economy busting BS. ;-)
The Obama admin in bed with Big Oil. Right. Go on, pull the other leg.
I’d like to slam the ‘****heads’ in Congress for not eliminating the EPA.
100% waste of money.
It’s slipping away, and they’re going wild.
What a classy bunch.
great movie!
Please spare me the talk of eliminating it. That will never happen...
It can operate its congressional mandated functions at about 15 % of its current budget...
Superfunds clean ups and monitoring air and water pollution across the country is all it really needs to be doing...
Slimy.
I hope the friggin’ EPA is on Trump’s short list of government agencies to eliminate.
Roll back all agencies to the ones that were in existence in 1950. The country was operating well at that time, had survived two world wars and the Great Depression, and the citizens were much freer and happier than we are today.
He's from Chicago. he's Mobbed to the eyebrows. Buying access, kickbacks, pay for play, purchased political appointments, it would explain a lot of otherwise curious and politically tone deaf actions. Example: How much do you suppose went into a Cayman's account from the Iranian ransom? A package of cash fell off a pallet?
Seriously. How does a "community activist" become a millionaire? From his wife's income as a corrupt lawyer? I don't recall her being a senior partner in a top national firm. There are so many holes in his background. We certainly can't trust the media to dig.
The EPA is an activist organization that needs to be disbanded.
Well, I agree with the EPA guy that the WhiteHouse is full of ****heads, but I disagree on the fracking part.
The EPA is an activist organization that needs to be disbanded.
