Is the EPA coordinating with
Hollywood

Research – 3/4/2013
Buried in a tranche of
official emails related to the Environmental Protection Agency’s enforcement
action against Texas-based Range Resources is an exchange between former EPA
Region 6 Administrator Al Armendariz and other senior administration officials
that raises new questions about EPA’s
collusion with anti-hydraulic fracturing activists.
On Jan. 4, 2011, former EPA
communications officer Betsaida Alcantara and Associate EPA Administrator Seth
Oster corresponded with Josh Fox, producer of a widely discredited 2010
documentary ‘Gasland,’ about the director’s request to interview Administrator
Armendariz for an upcoming film. In the exchange, Armendariz notes, “it
was good working with [Fox] for Gasland,” and goes on to suggest a place in Fort
Worth where the director can get “good background shots.”
“These emails are yet
another example of the degree to which the EPA works closely with well-funded
activists and Hollywood producers in
coordinated propaganda campaigns against energy producers,” IER President
Thomas Pyle said. “With Gina McCarthy’s nomination to succeed Lisa Jackson now
in play, the American people deserve answers to serious questions about the
agency’s cozy relationship with environmentalist provocateurs like Josh Fox.”
