EPA Polution is OK. Polition is Only Bad if You Cause It

Barack Obama’s Environmental Protection Agency is an oppressive force against American industry in the name of protecting the environment from any harm, whether real or perceived.
However, when the EPA does the damage itself, the agency tends to sing a different tune. The agency is downplaying a recent incident where millions of gallons of mine waste laced with heavy metals was released by the agency into the Animas River.
Now comes news that the leak was three times worse than originally announced by the agency. Shaun McGrath, administrator from the EPA Region 8 Office, told reporters that three million gallons of the orange sludge found its way into the river, well more than the one million gallons originally reported by the agency.
It’s been six days since an EPA team accidentally released the waste water from the abandoned Gold King Mine. The orange sludge continues to travel downstream at 500 feet per minute, according to 9News.
Both the Colorado city of Durango and La Plata County have declared a state of emergency.
“This action has been taken due to the serious nature of the incident and to convey the grave concerns that local elected officials have to ensure that all appropriate levels of state and federal resources are brought to bear to assist our community not only in actively managing this tragic incident but also to recover from it,” said La Plata County Manager Joe Kirby.
“The river looks pretty nasty,” said Stephen Lowrance, Deputy of the San Juan County Sheriff’s Office in Colorado, where the water was first released. “It doesn’t look like water; it just looks like sludge.”
Of course, if a corporation had done this, Obama’s EPA would have made sure that the spill would be as well-publicized as BP on the Gulf Coast, the Exxon Valdez or the Cuyahoga River fire.
However, when the EPA does it themselves, notice the deafening silence and blatant lies. Just another episode of hypocrisy and deceit from the self-proclaimed “most transparent administration in history” — an administration just as transparent as the waters of the Animas River.
