Podesta's helping his cronies...Shocked!!!!

Fox News (1/1/23) reports: "A company founded by an energy executive with ties to White House clean energy czar John Podesta is positioned to benefit from one of the Biden administration's latest endeavors to tackle climate change. On December 14, the White House held an 'Electrification Summit' that included the rollout of new federal programs aimed at electrifying buildings as part of its broader goal of transitioning away from fossil fuels. Donnel Baird, the founder and chief executive officer of BlocPower, an energy company offering 'smart, all-electric heating, cooling, and hot water systems to building owners,' was on hand at the summit - where Podesta was also in attendance - and participated in a 'buildings innovation' panel. Baird's company stands to reap the rewards from the White House's efforts. Department of Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm announced they would dole out cash to establish a regional partnership network 'to help industrial facilities increase the adoption of onsite clean energy technologies, many of which support the electrification of industrial processes,' according to a White House press release."

"Electrifying home heating would generate an enormous increase in electricity demand while green groups simultaneously push to constrain supply. The Green Group Blackouts will soon be headed to a theater near you."

If these guys didn’t protest the closure of nukes, they aren’t protesting coal, they are protesting civilization.

Sky News (1/5/23) reports: "Environmental activists occupying a German village due to be swallowed up by a coal mine have vowed to fight on as police gear up to evict them. The village of Luetzerath in western Germany has gradually been abandoned by its original inhabitants, as it is set to be demolished to make way for an extension to the Garzweiler II lignite mine. The village stands just a few hundred meters from a vast pit where German utility giant RWE extracts lignite coal to burn in nearby power plants. The fate of the village embodies the broader debate over Germany's efforts to wean itself off coal, the most polluting fossil fuel, by 2030, amid the gas crisis. Environmentalists, who warn the coal would release millions of tonnes of climate-heating carbon dioxide and harmful air pollution, moved into the abandoned homes of former residents two years ago."

Here's a lesson in media manipulation--EPA comes out with a new rule regulating, particulate matter, but they pitch it as regulating "soot." Soot is included in PM, but so is dust and other fine particles. E&E News should know better.

E&E News (1/6/23) reports: "EPA Administrator Michael Regan hailed the agency’s planned strengthening of airborne soot standards as 'a strong proposal,' though environmental and public health groups immediately clamored for it to be made stronger still and business organizations objected to any change at all. Issued Friday after years of study and strife, the draft rule inches toward tighter regulation of a pollutant tied to tens of thousands of deaths annually but does not go as far as agency expert advisers recommended. It would cut the current annual exposure limit for soot from 12 micrograms per cubic meter of air to either 9 or 10 micrograms. But the proposal leaves the current daily standard — set in 2006 — unchanged at 35 micrograms per cubic meter of air. The rulemaking is likely to be a defining part of Regan’s tenure at EPA as well as the broader quest by President Joe Biden’s administration to lessen pollution’s discriminatory impacts."
