11/11: EPA Tells Workers to Tone Down YouTube Clip About Climate Bill
Two Environmental Protection Agency lawyers who made a YouTube video calling current climate legislation a “huge mistake” were told by the agency to remove the clip and edit out some references to their employer, one of them said.
Allan Zabel and Laurie Williams, a husband and wife who have worked in the EPA’s San Francisco office for more than 20 years, have been outspoken in their opposition to a “cap and trade” system for reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Contrary to what you might think from reading the article, these guys are proposing a plan that they think would reduce carbon emmisions more that the cap and trade legislation. These are not conservative opinions the EPA is trying to “tone down” but, as I understand it, a more aggressive approach to limiting carbon emissions.
