Pruitt has begun to dismantle former president Barack Obama’s environmental legacy, halting the agency’s efforts to combat climate change and shift the nation away from its reliance on fossil fuels.Such aggressiveness on issues from coal waste to vehicle emissions has made Pruitt one of President Trump’s most high-profile and consequential Cabinet members. It also has made him one of the most controversial.For nearly half a century, Marxists have used the excuse of fighting pollution to place unnecessary burdens on industry in an attempt to cripple the American economy, the better to make the people subservient to the government.

For years, Marxist groups under the flag of environmentalism have sued the agency to get stricter regulations. The EPA surrendered under a sue-and-settle policy that allows the agency to expand its powers in a passive-aggressive way.

“Ecology as a social principle . . . condemns cities, culture, industry, technology, the intellect, and advocates men’s return to “nature,” to the state of grunting subanimals digging the soil with their bare hands.” Ayn Rand.
