Unfit to Lead the EPA

Earthjustice statement arguing that Scott Pruitt is unfit to lead the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) due to his history of litigation against the agency, climate change denial, and opposition to federal environmental regulations.

• Scott Pruitt was confirmed to lead the EPA by a 52–46 vote despite a history of opposing the Clean Air Act and Clean Water Act, refusing to provide state documents, and having conflicts of interest stemming from suing the EPA 14 times.
• Scott Pruitt is described as a climate-change denier who opposes emissions reductions for polluters and views federal regulatory authority as "intrusive."
