Los senadores dem\u00f3cratas del Comit\u00e9 de Medio Ambiente y Obras P\u00fablicas dicen que la elecci\u00f3n de Donald Trump para dirigir la Agencia de Protecci\u00f3n Ambiental deber\u00eda revelar sus conexiones con expertos en energ\u00eda antes de que comiencen sus audiencias de confirmaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n

En la carta fechada el martes, los senadores dijeron a Scott Pruitt, actual fiscal general de Oklahoma, que estaban preocupados por sus estrechos v\u00ednculos con los grupos de presi\u00f3n de la energ\u00eda y quer\u00edan que revelara listas de donantes que contribuyeron a una organizaci\u00f3n sin fines de lucro que recibi\u00f3 fondos de una red conectada al hermanos Koch.<\/p>\n

Pruitt es un cr\u00edtico abierto del cambio clim\u00e1tico y ha demandado<\/a> la administraci\u00f3n Obama sobre el Plan de Energ\u00eda Limpia de la EPA. La carta fue firmada por cinco dem\u00f3cratas m\u00e1s el independiente Bernie Sanders.<\/p>\n

"Nos ha preocupado que, como Fiscal General de Oklahoma, haya utilizado, casi palabra por palabra, puntos de conversaci\u00f3n de la industria en la correspondencia oficial que su oficina envi\u00f3 a la EPA sobre la estimaci\u00f3n de la EPA sobre la contaminaci\u00f3n por metano en su estado", dec\u00eda la carta, firmada por el senador Sheldon Whitehouse. Ed Markey, Jeff Merkley, Cory Booker, Ben Cardin y Sanders.<\/p>\n

\u201cLo que esa conducta dice sobre su capacidad para liderar la EPA de una manera que no est\u00e9 sujeta a intereses especiales o secretos es un tema que esperamos que reciba una discusi\u00f3n completa durante su audiencia de confirmaci\u00f3n\u201d, contin\u00faa la carta.<\/p>\n

La carta contin\u00faa solicitando detalles sobre reuniones y correos electr\u00f3nicos relacionados con el Fondo de Defensa del Estado de Derecho, que Pruitt ayud\u00f3 a establecer para recaudar grandes donaciones de grandes compa\u00f1\u00edas de petr\u00f3leo y gas, incluida Devon Energy.<\/p>\n

Espec\u00edficamente, los senadores buscan \u201cuna explicaci\u00f3n por escrito del papel que usted o cualquier otra persona bajo su supervisi\u00f3n ha desempe\u00f1ado\u201d en la fundaci\u00f3n y operaci\u00f3n del fondo, una lista de todos los gastos superiores a $1,000 realizados al fondo y una lista de las reuniones. horarios, fechas, lugares, asistentes y puntos de la agenda de sus eventos para recaudar fondos.<\/p>\n

"Antes de que el Senado vote para confirmarlo para dirigir la EPA, es importante proporcionar una divulgaci\u00f3n completa de su relaci\u00f3n con la industria energ\u00e9tica para que podamos determinar c\u00f3mo eso influir\u00e1 en su capacidad para dirigir la agencia".<\/p>\n

Como ha informado NPR, Los ambientalistas se est\u00e1n preparando<\/a> por la confirmaci\u00f3n de Pruitt y les preocupa que pueda intentar limitar gran parte del poder de la agencia. A principios de este mes, el equipo de transici\u00f3n de Trump envi\u00f3 un cuestionario de 74 puntos<\/a> a los empleados del Departamento de Energ\u00eda solicitando una lista de empleados y contratistas que asistieron a conferencias sobre cambio clim\u00e1tico.<\/p>\n

el departamento mas tarde dijo que se negaba a proporcionar los nombres<\/a> al equipo de transici\u00f3n.<\/p>\n
