What the heck is an environmental group doing at the World Gas Conference?
6 years 3 months ago
The simple answer is this. Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) approaches challenges pragmatically. If we want to rid the planet of harmful climate pollution, our efforts must include working with the industries that can make the biggest difference. That means I spend a lot of my time working with leaders from the oil and gas industry. […]

In April, FirstEnergy spent $4 million in legal and lobbying fees.
Thursday June 14, 2018 - Edition #55
Even though grid operators said there were plenty of power plants to keep refrigerators running, FirstEnergy and politicians like Sen. Joe Manchin from the coal state of West Virginia, with relatively straight faces, said at some time in the future there might be a need for those old units.
The idea has taken root: One potential pathway for the Trump administration's bailout efforts is the Defense Production Act, a law intended to guarantee strategic supplies during the Korean War almost 70 years ago.
So we’ve been threatened with reliability, resilience, moving its HQ out of Akron, and now national defense…What will FirstEnergy think of next? Perhaps its power plants are needed to defend against a possible asteroid. Perhaps to protect us from earthquakes and tsunamis. Perhaps to achieve world peace. Quote of the Week Our last newsletter focused on President Trump’s directive to Secretary of Energy Rick Perry, asking him to take immediate steps to bail out uneconomic coal and nuclear plants.
Our quote of the week comes from Rep. Joe Barton, a senior Republican on the House Energy and Commerce Committee, who had this to say about the idea:

FirstEnergy’s old coal and nuclear units are no longer economic, thanks to competition from cheap natural gas and increasingly renewable energy. As a result, the utility giant sought bankruptcy protection in April for FirstEnergy Solutions, the subsidiary that owns the ailing power plants.
In the month following, the company found the funds to spend $4 million with a top lobbying firm, Akin Gump. In one month. John Funk of the Plain Dealer reported that “Akin Gump's top law partners charged [FirstEnergy Solutions] as much as $1,475 an hour.”
This seems as good a time as any to remind you that the salary of FirstEnergy’s CEO, Chuck Jones, soared 53 percent in just three years – from $10 million in 2015 to a staggering $15.3 million in 2017.
Yet Jones and FirstEnergy want someone, anyone – preferably customers or taxpayers – to pay billions to make up for the company’s bad business decisions.

From pollution to pens: 5 types of Pruitt scandals and why they matter
6 years 3 months ago
From pollution to pens: 5 types of Pruitt scandals and why they matter
The media, and environmental groups like mine, have been putting a lot of focus on Scott Pruitt’s ethical problems.
You may have heard that Pruitt – head of the Environmental Protection Agency – charged taxpayers $1,500 for a dozen personalized pens, sent government workers to buy his favorite hand lotion, and had an assistant inquire about the purchase of a used mattress from a Trump hotel.
But do these scandals really matter?
Emphatically, yes. Both because government officials should act ethically and because his actions often seem to have a deeper connection to policy choices.
We see five types of Pruitt scandals:
1. EntitlementPruitt flew first class at taxpayers’ expense, asked his aides to find excuses for him to travel to exotic locations, and used sirens to get through traffic more quickly on his way to his favorite French restaurant.
Some of this is wasteful and improper, and some of it creates real substantive problems. Those arise when Pruitt takes perks from people with vested interests in his decisions.
He took a below-market rate condo deal from a lobbyist couple, whose clients may want him to go easier on some industries. He also took courtside basketball tickets from a coal baron who wants the EPA to allow more carbon pollution from coal plants.
2. OpportunismScott Pruitt is a very ambitious politician, and it’s been widely reported that he wants to be a U.S. senator and eventually president.
He’s using his position to make political contacts, frequently traveling to his home state and to other politically important places at taxpayers’ expense. He seems to be working to curry favor with well-funded interests, including those in the oil and gas industry that supported his rise so far.
3. Conflicts of interestPruitt has put people with obvious conflicts of interest in key government positions. He hired someone straight from the chemical industry’s lobbying arm to oversee and undermine a new chemical safety law.
This official recently proposed rules that instruct the EPA to ignore 68,000 pounds of toxic chemicals when evaluating risk. His deputy administrator, meanwhile, was a coal lobbyist before joining the agency.
4. PollutionYou’ve probably heard far less about the “glider truck” loophole than Pruitt’s other problems. But this rule – which principally benefits one company with whom Pruitt met – creates an exception in clean air rules for super-polluting trucks.
This loophole will cause about 4,000 additional deaths from air pollution-related illness. Pruitt also wants to weaken clean car standards, rules about coal ash pollution in streams, and methane pollution limits. All will cause illness, foul our air and water, and hurt our economy.
5. WeirdMattresses, pens, lotion.
For those who are cynical about government: This is not normal. Almost all of Pruitt’s predecessors were ethical, serious people focused on the EPA’s mission.
The real scandal of the Trump-Pruitt EPA, of course, is that it is systematically weakening clean air, clean water and chemical safety rules that will result in more asthma attacks, cancer and other illnesses.
But the scandals spilling out of Pruitt’s office are also a big part of the story, creating an oily slick that is staining America’s environmental legacy.
From EDF Action: Get Scott Pruitt out of the EPA mmelendez June 13, 2018 - 07:51Pruitt is a common opportunistic politician and that is THE trouble!
Cornelius Devlin III June 13, 2018 at 6:10 pmMr. Pruitt must not be allowed to gut the rules our EPA has been carefully created to protect. He is corrupt and unqualified for the job. He must resign or be fired.
Sue E. Dean June 13, 2018 at 6:11 pmMr. Scott Pruitt you are going in the wrong direction and doing lots of damage along the way. Please consider retiring.

Mr Pruitt should learn what it means to drink downstream from the herd. Protection means considering what is important — not only for the immediate future, but for our grandchildren and their grandchildren.
Frederic Sundbeck June 14, 2018 at 7:49 pmWhy is he still in office? This government is criminal. They are breaking our laws. Why are they still in office? From meeting with Russia, emolument, not implementing the Russian sanctions, denying global warming, it’s just goes on and on. We true patriots are sick and tired!!!!
Donna chaffino June 15, 2018 at 1:22 amShady as hell; he does not have environmental protection in mind sometimes… He’s good for sportsmen though, hunting and fishing and wilderness access are opening up and expanding.
Matthew Van Camp June 15, 2018 at 11:40 amI am most concerned about our ocean contamination. I want to help efforts to eliminate all plastics and nylon nets.
Richard Steinberg June 15, 2018 at 10:09 pmThe important thing is, how do we get rid a person like this?
Josephine Tosiello June 17, 2018 at 4:46 pmScott Pruit need to GO NOW! He's disgracing public office as well as wrecking all the work the EPA has done over the last 20 years. Save the EPA and our environment before it's too late!!!
