A week before The EPA disastrously leaked millions of gallons of toxic waste into The Animas River in Colorado, this letter to the editor was published in The Silverton Standard & The Miner local newspaper, authored by a retired geologist detailing verbatim, how EPA would foul the Animas River on purpose in order to secure superfund money.

Of course if history is any guide, it will take subpoenas, hearings, FOIA requests, and more to get the truth and possible motivations out of this administration. Meanwhile, they’ll continue to lecture us about how to care for the environment.

Ironic is an understatement.

UPDATE

This picture was taken mid-September 2021 near Silverton, Colorado. It appears the spill is still active.

BTW…

On December 18, 2020, President-elect Biden presented McCarthy as his choice to become the first National Climate Advisor, head of the White House Office of Climate Policy. McCarthy serves as Biden’s chief advisor on domestic climate change policy. The position, which will have its own staff, will be a part of the White House Office.
