FULL TITLE: EPA Funds Leftist Groups That Sue EPA and Force Punishing Restrictions on American Industry
It’s a circle of destruction – And you paid for it. The radical EPA is funding far left groups who then sue the EPA and force debilitating restrictions on American industry.
New EPA rules will force Western coal-fired power plants to install haze-reducing pollution-control equipment at a cost of $1.5 billion a year. Pictured is the Dave Johnston Power Plant in Glenrock, Wyoming. (IBD)
This ought to make you sick. IBD Editorials reported:
When the Environmental Protection Agency said in late June that it would force Western coal-fired power plants to install haze-reducing pollution-control equipment at a cost of $1.5 billion a year, it said it had to in order to settle a lawsuit by environmental groups.
One organization involved in the suit, the Environmental Defense Fund, has a long history of taking the EPA to court. In fact, a cursory review finds almost half a dozen cases in the past 10 years.
The odd thing is that the EPA, in turn, has handed EDF $2.76 million in grants over that same period, according to an IBD review of the agency’s grant database.
This strange relationship goes well beyond EDF. Indeed, several environmental groups that have received millions in EPA grants regularly file suit against that same agency. A dozen green groups were responsible for more than 3,000 suits against the EPA and other government agencies over the past decade, according to a study by the Wyoming-based Budd-Falen Law Offices.
You will find that your tax dollars fund much of the left through grants and crap. Even Soros gets tax dollars for “promoting democracy” in other countries.
Where would they be without tax funding?
Another damn scam.
I’d be willing to bet the people within these groups trade places with the people working in the EPA every so often too. Get hired at EPA, work 5 - 10 years, stop working at EPA, start working at EDF, work 5-10 years, wash, rinse, repeat.
It’s a scam. The EPA’s goal is to stifle energy, productivity and manufacturing. They give out these grants, the grants get used to sue the EPA which “forces” the EPA to institute harsh rulings in order to comply with the lawsuits which they themselves funded.
Scam.
I wonder if Lisa Jackson or her boss ever stop to ponder how corrupt and lawless she is. I’m sure she considers it all good as long as it’s in the service of the utopian goal thinks she’s striving for.
Thanks SanFranDan.
With China and India the largest smog producing countries in the world I wonder why the Leftist Groups don’t go after them?.
Oh wait it’s only the evil Americans who make a mess. /s

This is what systemic corruption looks like.
