Scott Pruitt ha pasado su carrera luchando para proteger a los contaminadores de combustibles f\u00f3siles en lugar del inter\u00e9s p\u00fablico. Como Fiscal General de Oklahoma, Pruitt fue sorprendido con las manos en la masa tomando argumentos pr\u00e1cticamente palabra por palabra de los cabilderos de los combustibles f\u00f3siles y poni\u00e9ndolos en su membrete oficial como la posici\u00f3n del Estado de Oklahoma. Bajo Scott Pruitt, la Agencia de Protecci\u00f3n Ambiental se convertir\u00eda en la &#039;Agencia de Protecci\u00f3n de Contaminadores&#039;. &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><span class=\"s1\">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cPruitt ha cuestionado la realidad del cambio clim\u00e1tico y demand\u00f3 al gobierno federal para bloquear la acci\u00f3n contra la contaminaci\u00f3n por mercurio, ars\u00e9nico y carbono que envenena a nuestras comunidades y a nuestros ni\u00f1os. En lugar de proteger el derecho de nuestras familias a un aire y agua limpios, Pruitt ha demostrado una y otra vez que su principal inter\u00e9s es proteger a los contaminadores. Es una elecci\u00f3n peligrosa e inaceptable para liderar la agencia encargada de liderar nuestros esfuerzos clim\u00e1ticos y proteger el aire y el agua limpios para todos los estadounidenses\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WASHINGTON, D.C. &ndash; Oregon&rsquo;s Senator Jeff Merkley released the following statement regarding Donald Trump&rsquo;s nomination of Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt as Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA): &ldquo;Once again, Donald Trump has picked a special-interest advocate to run an executive agency.
