‘Gaming The System’: Rep. Scalise Vows To Investigate Radical Green Groups
mining truckHouse Majority Leader Steve Scalise said Tuesday that the House GOP would investigate the funding sources of “radical environmental groups” that he alleged abused environmental regulations to limit U.S. energy production at a panel hosted by the America First Policy Institute.
“Follow the money, which countries are benefiting by shutting down American production?” asked Scalise. “There’s some bad actors around the world. But if you look at what they do they’ll … abuse the Endangered Species Act and then go to the [Environmental Protection Agency], they’ll go to the [Army] Corps of Engineers.
“And they’re gaming the system to kill a project that takes you seven, eight years to get the permit.” [emphasis, links added]
Several prominent environmental groups, including The Sierra Club and the World Resources Institute, have well-documented ties to foreign-funding sources.
