After Pruitt resigned in the midst of chaotic scandal, he was succeeded by his deputy, #AndrewWheeler - a former coal lobbyist:

That's the "second face of power." What's the third? It's taking over the *shape* of the debate, getting to define its axioms. Think of the reflexive idea that government projects are "wasteful" and "inefficient."

In support of my point that #EPA head #AndrewWheeler is a fox that has been put in charge of the henhouse with the clear objective to remove pesky regulations and allow corporations to exploit and destroy natural resources in the #UnitedStates: Here's what this guy did before his time as EPA head.
From Wikipedia:
He previously worked in the law firm Faegre Baker Daniels, representing #coal magnate Robert E. Murray and lobbying against the Obama Administration's #environment|al regulations.

By the way: It's a real pity to see #TrollandDump sending those members of his administration to official visits to #Taiwan who have failed miserably in office:
First the US health czar #AlexAzar as the head of this administration's fatal non-response to a #pandemic took a trip to #Taipei. Next up it's EPA head #AndrewWheeler who has tried everything to eliminate hurdles for corporation to further destroy and exploit the #environment in the #UnitedStates.

Sign the petition: Demand the U.S. Senate reject Andrew Wheeler for the EPA

Andrew Wheeler, Donald Trump’s pick to head the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), has built a career rooted in looking out for the coal industry — not everyday Americans. He spent years lobbying for Murray Energy, the largest coal mining conglomerate in the United States. It’s no coincidence that they trust Wheeler to enact their dangerous deregulation agenda. The Trump-Wheeler deregulation agenda is a clear assault on our economy, environment, and public health. Wheeler cannot be trusted to lead an agency that is critical to keeping the air we breathe and the water our kids drink safe. On his watch, the EPA will do more harm than good and provide nothing but cover for bad corporate actors and polluters. Let's send a message to the Trump administration and his allies in the fossil fuel industry: demand the Senate reject Wheeler’s nomination. Join the movement today and urge your senator: Vote NO on Andrew Wheeler.
