Speaking Sunday on Fox News, Environmental Protection Agency head Scott Pruitt said the government shouldn’t promote renewables over fossil fuels.
Scott Pruitt: “We shouldn’t have this commitment by the U.S. government to say that fossil fuels are bad, renewables are good. The U.S. EPA and the U.S. government should not pick winners and losers, Chris. And that’s what happened in the last several years.”
Last week, EPA head Scott Pruitt also rejected an effort to ban a farming insecticide, even though scientists have concluded the Dow Chemical product leads to a range of learning and memory impairments in farm workers and their children.
