[center]Record Number of Lawmakers Sign Resolution Calling for
[b]Pruitt's 🦖 Resignation[/b][/center]
By Lorraine Chow
Apr. 19, 2018 08:11AM EST
A group of 39 senators and 131 representatives signed a
resolution calling for the "immediate resignation" of Scott
Pruitt, the scandal-plagued U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) administrator.
The document represents a record number of senators to formally
demand a cabinet official to step down.
The resolution comes in the wake of Pruitt's growing list of
controversies: his request for a $43,000 sound-proof phone booth
violated federal law; his $50-a-night stay at a Capitol Hill
condo owned by the wife of an energy lobbyist; his questionable
use of taxpayer money for first-class and charter flights, as
well as a 'round-the-clock security detail; and reports that he
gave large pay raises to his closest aides.
That's not to mention Pruitt's continued efforts to dismantle
the legacy of the very agency he heads.
Per the resolution, "The Agency is hemorrhaging staff and
experts needed to protect the health, safety, and livelihood of
millions of people of the United States, with more than 700
employees of the Agency having left or been forced out of the
Agency during his tenure as Administrator."
"By delaying the effective date of regulations, easing
enforcement of existing regulations, and delaying implementation
of new regulations, Administrator Pruitt is helping polluters at
the expense of the health, safety, and livelihood of millions of
people of the United States," it adds.
No Republicans added their name to the document, even though
Republican Reps. Elise Stefanik (NY), Carlos Curbelo (FL) and
Illeana Ros-Lehtinen (FL.) have previously called for Pruitt's
resignation or firing.
The effort was led by Senator Tom Udall (D-NM) and
Representative Kathy Castor (D-FL).
"During his time in office, Pruitt has waged all-out war on the
bedrock protections that keep our air and water clean, prevent
toxic chemicals from contaminating our communities, and
safeguard the health of our kids and families," Udall said. "He
has done lasting damage to public health and safety�gutting the
EPA's core mission�all to benefit his campaign donors and grease
the wheels for his big polluter friends."
It's not just politicians who are calling for Pruitt's ouster.
More than 30 environmental and civil rights organizations,
including the NAACP, the Sierra Club and Friends of the Earth,
took out full-page newspaper ads on Wednesday in The New York
Times, the New York Post and Pruitt's home-state paper, The
Oklahoman, The Hill reported.
Meanwhile, President Donald Trump 🦀 has praised
Pruitt�who has carried out the administration's deregulatory
agenda�for "doing a great job." 😈
Trump is reportedly fond of his EPA chief, even though John F.
Kelly, the White House chief of staff, has urged the president
to let Pruitt go.
"No one other than the president has the authority to hire and
fire," White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said
earlier this month. "The president feels that the administrator
has done a good job at EPA."
She said the White House is conducting an internal investigation
into Pruitt's conduct.

Who do people think he's talking to in his soundproof booth?
What do they think he's talking about? Why does it need to keep
what he says so secret from everyone else in the EPA? Isn't it
possible that he's engaging in RICO violations? I think the
Justice Department should be investigating possible violations.
And if the predicted 100K extra unnecessary deaths due to
increases in pollution come to pass. he should definitely be
prosecuted.

[center]Who�s 😈 🦕 🦖 Behind The Institute
for Pension Fund Integrity?[/center]
Yesterday, Oil Change International�s Andy Rowell wrote about a
mysterious new group advocating against pension divestment (h/t
DeSmog). Rowell sorts through the few clues available on the
group to connect the dots about who�s behind the campaign--and,
unsurprisingly, his findings display [size=12pt]a pattern all
too familiar to those familiar with fossil-fueled front groups.
Rowell�s search was instigated by a piece in the trade
publication Institutional Investor last week (headline: �New
Pensions Group Says Forget About Climate Change�), which
reported on a new report by the Institute for Pension Fund
Integrity (IPFI). The purpose of this group, Institutional
Investor explains, is to counter the divestment campaign that�s
been fairly successfully calling on pensions to take their money
out of fossil fuel companies, and instead have them focus only
on returns.
The IPFI report�s author is Christopher Burnham, a former UN
undersecretary and Connecticut state treasurer. Compared to the
obvious oil shills that usually run these sorts of programs,
Burnham�s resume looks almost credible. Of course, he also
served as the chairman of a PR company, Cambridge Global
Advisors and asan �energy investment banker,� according to
Rowell--but neither of these positions offer an obvious red
flag.
More concerning than Burnham�s background is that contact
information listed on the group�s website changed earlier this
month, from pointing to Burnham to directing users to contact
Fred Wollenberg of the advertising company Bergman Group.
Bergman doesn�t seem to be too tightly linked to the oil
industry (though the group does produce daily illustrations for
the American Enterprise Institute�s 🦖 magazines).
Wollenberg himself, however, has worked with Exxon as well as
DCI group, an organization whose astroturfing Bloomberg has
exposed. While Rowell stresses that these links could just be a
coincidence, it�s worth remembering DCI is also the group that
ran the fake news blog TechCentral Station back before fake news
was cool, and funded an amateur-looking Al Gore climate attack
ad.
Rowell points to a recent Bloomberg story about how DCI
registered the website for a different anti-divestment campaign,
Protect our Pensions. Perhaps that�s just a coincidence, too.
;)
So is Wollenberg the man in the middle, working on behalf of DCI
and its funders to set up this other group seeking to protect
pensions from divestment? Someone should certainly try and shine
a light on the situation.
There�s little reason to insist on investing in fossil fuels,
even if you believe an investor�s only concern should be
returns. Because for years now, it is increasingly true that
divested portfolios will out-perform their dirty competitors, in
part because good environmental and social governance practices
prove profitable.
So if divesting isn�t going to reduce returns, what excuse could
IPFI possibly have for defending fossil fuels? If it�s just that
they�re funded by the industry, well then that�s no different
than a pencil-maker advocating for pen-shuns. [/size]

[center]Willfully Ignoring Climate Change Is a Disaster for
National Parks[/center]
[center]Trump administration 😈 repeals climate-smart
management policies for national parks.[/center]
SNIPPET:
It�s no secret that the Trump administration is pursuing an
aggressively pro-fossil fuels energy policy. Dating to the
election campaign, he talked about rolling back federal efforts
to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, which Trump blamed for
killing coal and oil jobs, and he has loudly followed through on
that promise ever since.
What�s not as well-known is that the administration is not only
refusing to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, it is willfully
preventing federal land managers from taking steps to protect
our national parks and other public lands from the disastrous
effects of climate change.

Lyden/Dreamstime.
Last week, The Center for Investigative Reporting revealed that
it had obtained copies of an 87-page draft report by a
University of Colorado scientist on how sea level rise is
affecting 118 coastal national parks. In this unreleased report,
which has been delayed for publication by at least 10 months, a
National Park Service official had edited the copy to remove all
references to the human role in altering the climate.
In contrast, Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke 🐉 had assured
members of Congress at a hearing last month that he did not know
of any document that had been willfully changed to alter facts.
�I read them all,� he was reported as saying. �I don�t change a
comma on them.�
http://www.createaforum.com/gallery/renewablerevolution/3-030815183114.gif<br
/>
But last week�s report contradicts that claim and casts
additional doubt on his department�s integrity.
[size=14pt]If true, this is the first known example of a Park
Service report that has been edited to alter scientific
information. This terrible precedent � the alteration of
current, known scientific evidence � may have serious
implications for how our national parks are managed.
Our coastal parks are literally on the front lines of climate
change. Last year�s devastating hurricane season showed how much
damage severe weather and flooding can do to treasured places
like Virgin Islands, Everglades and Biscayne National Parks and
the communities that surround and depend on them. Park managers
need the best science available to understand how to protect
these parks from sea-level rise. They cannot build ecological
resilience and prevent future damage if the data they are using
is manipulated and inaccurate or lacks evidence that may support
future solutions.[/size]

Local efforts to regulate waste from natural gas in West
Virginia have been blocked by industry and state government,
according to a new report, and illustrate how the natural gas
industry is winning local fights across the country.
The latest investigation from ProPublica's Local Reporting
Network in partnership with the Charleston Gazette-Mail shows
how Fayette County, which is still dealing with lingering
pollution left by the coal industry, sought to prevent further
damage from the gas industry by passing a local ordinance
prohibiting disposal of drilling waste.
An industry giant &#129430; quickly sued, and a district judge
&#128018; threw out the county's ban on waste
disposal--mirroring similar efforts in other states, which have
"almost uniformly been thrown out by the courts." &#129324;

EXCELLENT article! &#127775;
https://cleantechnica.com/2018/05/06/147392/
Agelbert COMMENT: The fact that a lot of fossil fuel money is
funding those short sellers should be repeated with a megaphone
&#128226; on a regular basis.
The Fossil Fuel Industry desperately needs to kill EV sales in
general and Tesla EVs in particular.
WHY&#8265;&#65039;
It is no secret that refineries will be lose their profit margin
if the fuel portion of the refined crude coming out of their
cracking towers is not marketable. That portion, by the way,
represents an added cost for the oil refineries as hazardous
waste to be disposed of. Rockefeller used to flush it down the
rivers in Pennsylvania back in the late 19th century, killing
horses and cows down the river from his refinery. The farmers
there were up in arms about Rockefeller's "business practices".
Externalizing pollution costs &#128520; is an old habit the
Fossil Fuel Industry &#128009;&#129429;&#129430; depended on
from the start to make a profit &#128181; &#127913; (over
people and planet, of course),
For those who think the refineries can just adjust the product
percentages from crude to increase the lubricant,
plastics/pharmaceuticals/esticide/fertilizers/textiles feed
stock and reduce the fuel portion to keep the profits going, let
me say that is not an option for them.
That is another factor that is of utmost concern to the fossil
fuel industry, though they go out of their way to avoid
discussing it in public. That is the FACT that crude oil
refining is inelastic in regard to product percentages. IOW you
will always get about (it can vary somewhat, but very slightly)
the same percentage of heavy lubricants, lighter lubricants,
fuels from diesel on up to gasoline and then the gases like
propane and methane, along with all the poisonous VOCS that get
flared that the EPA &#128520; is trying desperately to ignore.
[center][img
width=640]
http://storage.sherwoodparknews.com/v1/dynamic_resize/sws_path/suns-prod-images…
Pollutants aside for a moment, the crude oil feed stock for
plastics, medicines, fertilizers, paints, etc. represents less
than 6% worldwide of all crude oil products. THAT is a drop in
the bucket and never was, regardless of the lies and propaganda
from the fossil fuel industry, a big part of the profit
equation. It has ALWAYS been about getting us to BURN FUEL.
Consequently, a vanished market for gasoline and diesel means
bankruptcy for the fossil fuel industry.
[center][img
width=140]
http://renewablerevolution.createaforum.com/gallery/renewablerevolution/3-25111…
Those polluting fuels and gases will always be produced when
crude oil is refined. They can't just flush them into rivers
like Rockefeller did in Pennsylvania in the 19th century before
he created a market for his pollutants by saving Ford from
bankruptcy in return for having the Ford carburetors run on
gasoline INSTEAD of ethanol (which was the original plan by
Ford).
Gasoline is what made Rockefeller rich. Without a market for
gasoline or gases, the huge profit from selling them is
converted into a massive unavoidable cost of handling over 40%
per barrel of refined crude as hazardous waste. &#8265;&#65039;
The fossil fuel industry CANNOT survive unless it keeps talking
us into buring fossil fuels, period. They know that, but they do
not want anybody else to know that. &#128373;&#65039;
The inelastic oil refinery product percentage (i.e. what comes
out of those cracking towers after a de-oxygenated barrel of
crude (de-oxygenating crude is a massively energy intensive
process that they have deliberately left out of ALL the
calculations for energy return on energy invested for crude oil)
is the elephant &#128024; in the fossil fuel business model
room.
The Fossil Fuel Industry "business model", when all the energy
and pollution costs are considered, was always unjustified. They
got away with it through massive welfare queen subsidy hand-outs
from government while using the air, water and land as pollution
dumping areas for over a century.
Tesla is a HUGE threat to the Fossil Fuel Industry. Don't
believe for a second that the polluters are not resorting to
absolutely every low down Wall Street trick they can
underhandedly fund to stop Tesla from destroying them.
Musk's Tesla is destroying the Fossil Fuel Propaganda Lies we
have been subjected to for over a century by bringing sanity
into our Energy use, whether at home or on the road. [img

To me the core innovative technology of TSLA is battery
abilities, the cars depend on good and cheap batteries, the next
big thing RE storage depends on it, Electric semi's, grid and
home storage, electric aircraft etc all depend on the ability to
mass produce high quality (good energy density and cycle life )
batteries.
Everything depends on that
The key take away for me from the conference call is that they
have the ability to make M3 battery packs in 17 minutes now and
expect to quadruple battery deliveries this year. Once the Cars
are satisfied the battery factory can print money by making
powerwalls. They are years ahead of everyone else. You can argue
that the big four can make car bodies quicker and are more
experienced, but you cannot argue that anyone can make better
batteries cheaper or now faster.
Cars, trucks,Powerwalls, even solar roof tiles, are all just a
way to package and sell batteries.
For this alone TSLA is worth the valuation and will probably go
far higher.
I agree with the commentary that the Shorts are destroyers they
are the maggots that feed and thrive on decay and need failures
to make money. The sooner Elon can leave them behind the better
as he will never change their minds or their "business"
practices.
I believe that this will happen this year, we will see a $400
valuation by EOY and higher next. The future will get the last
laugh.[/quote]
