Power outages and the Indian Point closure: An “I told you so” event
powered by Surfing Waves BY JONATHAN LESSER: A few days before the Indian Point nuclear plant was permanently shuttered on April 30 of this year, I warned New Yorkers to prepare for power outages this summer. The plant had provided one-fourth of NYC’s electricity. Shutting it down created a cavernous hole in electricity supplies, which have only been partially replaced with two new generating plants running on natural gas, supplied by pipelines that Governor Cuomo won’t allow to be built. Two weeks ago, Mayo…

Biden’s 30 X 30 land grab
powered by Surfing Waves A little-noticed provision buried deep in President Biden’s January 27 executive order (EO), “Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad, Create Jobs, and Restore Scientific Integrity Across the Federal Government,” has emerged as one of the gravest threats facing ordinary Americans, at a time when such threats are legion. The EO’s Sec. 219 sets the goal of “protecting” at least 30% of the nation’s land and water by 2030. Under “protection” means putting this land and water (mostly l…

It was a common saying in America in the 1930s that “we cannot squander our way to prosperity.” But that was before the latest “best and brightest” crop took the helm of the federal government. The …

powered by Surfing Waves “Granholm is connected to Proterra. I don’t think I remember seeing her sell the stock. I’ve been looking at her financial disclosures, and she’s been periodically offloading lots of different stocks that she owns. But I didn’t remember seeing her, you know, she had a bunch of stocks. Very common. Proterra was not yet a public company. But she had a ton of shares in it, and she hadn’t offloaded. And we’ve known this whole time that Proterra was scheduled to go public in the first ha…
