Green Energy Slime Blacks Out Texas
Guest Post by James Grundvig
Three days into the 2010 Oil Spill, BP had secured 150 metric tons of “green” oil dispersant from Norway. Ready to be flown to the Gulf of Mexico to help contain the runaway spill, President Obama’s EPA threw down a red-tape gauntlet and prevented delivery.
Why did the so-called “green” president do that in the midst of an unfolding environmental crisis? A deeper look uncovered the EPA had blocked the EU-approved clean dispersant, in order to protect the EU-rejected, American-manufactured dispersant. That regulatory decision sank millions of barrels of oil—not dispersed it—to the bottom of the Gulf, creating a 25-mile wide black ring emanating from the wellbore that devastated marine life. The reason why the EPA chose winners and losers was to protect key politicians, who lined their pockets from shares, board seats, and advisory roles in the Illinois dispersant company.
