Senator Launches Probe Into EPA's 'Houses Could Explode' Scare Tactics, 'Crucify Them' Philosophy

Senator James Inhofe (R-Okla.) has launched an investigation into the Obama-EPA's apparent "crucify them" and “incite fear” strategies targeted at American energy producers. This investigation will look into EPA's actions towards domestic energy production specifically in light of the agency's recent efforts relating to hydraulic fracturing.
Inhofe’s first move was to send a letter of inquiry To EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson (http://cnsnews.com/sites/default/files/documents/Inhofe%20Letter%20To%20EPA%20Admin%20Jackson.pdf) asking for answers regarding an emergency order issued by EPA Region 6, which it justified by making unfounded claims that “houses could explode.”
After the region’s EPA administrator incited public fear in interviews by repeatedly warning of the “danger of fires and explosions,” the emergency order was quietly rescinded – but, the damage to public perception had already been done, Inhofe says.
“Parker, County Texas could be the most outrageous of the three cases and it took place in Region 6 where my home state of Oklahoma is located,” Inhofe said today in a Senate speech announcing the investigation.
Inhofe described how EPA Region 6 issued an Emergency Administrative Order overriding Texas state regulators actively investigating the claim hydraulic fracturing was contaminating well water.
“Along with this order, EPA went on a publicity barrage in an attempt to publicize its premature and unjustified conclusions,” Inhofe said.
In interviews, Regional Administrator Al Armendariz “made comments specifically intended to incite fear and sway public option against hydraulic fracturing” in which he cited multiple times a “danger of fire or explosion,” Inhofe said.
“When state regulators were made aware of EPA’s actions, they made it clear they felt the agency was proceeding prematurely to which Armendariz forwarded their reply to headquarters with a single-word message, ‘Stunning.’”
The EPA then “not only stepped backed their assertions but did so with a stunning lack of transparency strategically attempting to make these announcements as quietly as possible and at times they knew Congress wouldn’t be looking,” Inhofe says.
Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK) will also investigate any connection of these tactics to a video of a top EPA official saying the EPA’s “philosophy” is to “crucify” and “make examples” of oil and gas companies - just as the Romans crucified random citizens in areas they conquered to ensure obedience.
The EPA’s agenda, Inhofe said, is to “incite fear” in the public with unsubstantiated claims and “intimidate” oil and gas companies with threats of unjustified fines and penalties – then, quietly backtrack once the public’s perception has been jaded against oil and natural gas.
In his letter to Lisa Jackson, Sen. Inhofe asks the EPA chief:
“Do you believe it is appropriate for the Regional Administrator to make statements in which the Agency has ‘determined’ that due to a company’s actions, “houses could explode’ despite evidence known to Agency staff which would reasonably preclude such an outcome?”
Inhofe also questions Jackson to determine if these types of actions such are evidence of “the Agency’s preconceived conclusions and increasingly apparent political activism in an ever-intensifying pursuit to link hydraulic fracturing to groundwater contamination.”

The vid seems to illustrate the m.o. of zio-government in general. Make examples out of a few and the rest will step into line.

This is the name of the fuckhead in the video. Region VI Administrator Al Armendariz

Here is his bio. http://www.epa.gov/aboutepa/region6ra.html

the government just spent a gazillion dollars bailing out car companies so that they could make shitty electric cars (agenda 21) nobody wants to buy.

the only way for the car companies to now succeed (and make bureaucrats look good) is to sell shitty electric cars (agenda 21) nobody wants to buy.

how do you force people into buying shitty electric cars (agenda 21) nobody wants to buy (and make bureaucrats look good)?

$9 gas.

The "Showtime" raid on the Branch Davidians, and their subsequent mass murder by the federal government, is an historic example of this philosophy.

Submit, or die. Pick one. Just like in Roman times.

$9 gas.
The Chevy Volt is not an electric car like the GM's EV1 electric car of almost 20 years ago. It is a hybrid. They are not so much electric cars, but fuel efficient and technologically advanced and gas cars.

The game has been much about denial. Promising grand new technology 'just around the corner' so that they can keep making the same shitty cars today. Hence EV1 crushing and the like to keep the game going longer.

Things get messy when this has been going on a few decades. Those hired for the delusion drift up to management.

The reality will be when gas is $9 'everyone' is fucked with 18mpg automotive beasts and long drives cause little changed since the 70's.

Then the poor and middle class US energy consumers get crucified.

It's the rural areas that will be fooked. Plenty of people drive from small tiny towns to the bigger towns for work 20, 30, 40 miles each way everyday. @ 4 buck gas, it is becoming uneconomical to drive for just above minimum wage anymore. The towns of 400 to 2000 population are going to get hit hard.

This will drive them all to the cities eventually. I wonder if this is why there is still a giant apartment boom in my area even though there is a big number in unoccupied apartments.

Suburbs will get hit too. I would expect a bigger push in mass transit money to send buses back and forth.

Is rural housing going to start going cheap soon or will it all get bulldozed and put into production a la Agenda 21 style?

So what is the solution?

Every one villifies the oil companies but bitches when alternate energy is brought up?

You can't pick both sides of the coin.

Keep going after oil and deal with the consiquences or deal with the ass pain of shifting to a new technology for energy. I get sick of people bitching about both.
