Pennsylvania Abandons Regional Carbon-Trading Market The worsening power bill crisis across the Mid-Atlantic region, a combination of nation-killing climate change policies colliding with surging load growth from data centers, has forced Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro to sign legislation allowing the state to abandon the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI). The Pennsylvania legislature ended the state's RGGI participation in the new state budget, which also cut funding tied to the climate initiative, effectively reversing the state's 2019 entry under former Governor Tom Wolf. It's straightforward: climate taxes = higher power bills.  Independent reports (from grid operator PJM and state regulators) have warned RGGI would: pressure to close gas and coal plants early loss of grid resilience higher risk of capacity shortages Given surging load growth from data centers, RGGI was a disaster waiting to happen that would've stripped the grid of spare capacity, destabilized regional power supply, and effectively paralyzed the state into a power crisis, as its neighbors just south, in Maryland, have done through failed globalist climate crisis policies.

U.S. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum announced the decision Thursday that paves the way for future lease sales within the refuge's 1.5 million-acre ( 631,309 hectare) coastal plain, an area that's considered sacred by the Indigenous Gwich'in. The plan fulfills pledges made by President Donald Trump and congressional Republicans to reopen this portion of the refuge to possible development. Trump's bill of tax breaks and spending cuts, passed during the summer, called for at least four lease sales within the refuge over a 10-year period. A federal judge in March said the Biden administration lacked authority to cancel the leases, which were held by a state corporation that was the major bidder in the first-ever lease sale for the refuge held at the end of Trump's first term.   Source: newsmax.com https://twitter.

This week on Grifty, we are heading north… way north. where climate change, government chaos, and corporate greed have collided at once. Alaska is in free fall. A typhoon has slammed the western coast, wiping out villages and food stores that took generations to build. The federal government is shut down, freezing aid and cutting off SNAP benefits for tens of thousands. While people are trying to keep their families fed, the Trump administration is approving new oil leases in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. This is not about the weather. It is about what happens when a government built on extraction leaves its people to fend for themselves. It is about sovereignty, survival, and the politics of pretending the climate crisis is still up for debate. We are joined by Dr. Brian Heaslet, a lifelong Alaskan who knows what it takes to keep food and supplies moving across the most isolated parts of the state. Also joining is our own Sierra Montoya, bringing her sharp Alaskan insight and humor to unpack what life in the Last Frontier really looks like when disaster meets politics.

Places we can still visit, explore, and trust that it will be there for generations or an eon.

There's some concern that the changes might disenfranchise voters in rural Alaska Native communities; U.S. District Court Judge Sharon Gleason ruled last week that the Biden administration was wrong to cancel oil and gas leases in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. As it happens, she did exactly what U.S. Sen. Dan Sullivan says she never does: decided against environmental groups. Sullivan's recent criticism of the judge caused a stir in the legal community.

In this episode of the Aptitude Outdoors Podcast, we dive into the lasting impact of Theodore Roosevelt's 1908 speech, "Conservation as a National Duty," and its relevance to today's environmental challenges. Roosevelt's call for federal responsibility and wise resource management was a turning point in the early conservation movement, addressing the unsustainable exploitation of forests, wildlife, and waterways. More than a century later, we find ourselves grappling with many of the same issues, such as deforestation, overfishing, and water scarcity, demonstrating how Roosevelt's message remains timeless in the ongoing battle between resource use and conservation. We explore how the principles Roosevelt championed—federal oversight, public land protection, and the moral responsibility to conserve—are echoed in today's conservation policies. From the Clean Air Act to the Endangered Species Act, the struggle between protecting natural resources and yielding to industrial interests continues. We also touch on the modern debates over public land use, such as the controversial discussions surrounding the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and Bears Ears National Monument, showing how Roosevelt's foresight laid the groundwork for the conservation battles we still face today. In the 21st century, new environmental threats, particularly climate change, have emerged, amplifying the urgency of conservation efforts. While Roosevelt could not have predicted the global impact of industrialization, his belief in the long-term protection of natural resources aligns with today's climate movement. As we navigate the complexities of federal policies, global cooperation, and grassroots movements, we reflect on how Roosevelt's legacy continues to inspire and challenge us in the fight for environmental sustainability.

Mokuhanga becomes a part of those who open themselves to its possibilities. It draws you in as an art form, with its seeming simplicity, and guides you on a profound journey of exploration. One of the strengths of mokuhanga as a practice is its ability to harmonize with other artistic and academic endeavors, enriching one's life in many ways.   On this episode of The Unfinished Print, I speak with William Mathie, a teacher and relief printmaker based in Pennsylvania. We discuss Bill's discovery of mokuhanga in the 1980s and how his academic and artistic journey in printmaking evolved, leading him to rediscover mokuhanga later in life. Bill and I delve into his personal mokuhanga teachers, his work on the Pennsylvania Print Symposium in 2006, his printmaking philosophies, his time at the First International Mokuhanga Conference in Awaji and Kyoto, and we also explore his own mokuhanga work, materials, making tools and how he views mokuhanga through an academic lens.   William Mathie - website, Instagram   Guarding The Cheese    The golden age of mokuhanga is generally considered to be during the Edo period (1603-1898), when the art of color woodcut flourished in Japan.

Bush's energy policy prioritized expanding domestic fossil fuel production, including controversial drilling in protected areas like the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, and offered substantial subsidies to the oil and gas industry while neglecting renewable energy development. Critics argue that this approach increased greenhouse gas emissions, exacerbated climate change, and harmed public health due to higher pollution levels. Additionally, by failing to diversify energy sources and invest in sustainable alternatives, the policy left the U.S. vulnerable to energy security risks and has delayed the transition to a cleaner energy economy.   Punch Magazine - Punch magazine, founded in 1841 in London, was a British weekly publication known for its satirical humor and cartoons.

In this pivotal episode of "American Potential," host Jeff Crank is joined by Alaska Governor Mike Dunleavy and Nagruk Harcharek president of Voice of the Arctic Iñupiat to discuss the substantial federal obstacles hampering oil and gas development in Alaska. They delve into the Biden administration's contentious decision to cancel oil and gas leases in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, illuminating how these actions not only undermine Alaska's economic framework but also significantly impact the livelihoods and cultural heritage of Native Alaskan communities. Governor Dunleavy outlines the dire economic consequences of such federal overreach, emphasizing the critical dependence of the state's budget and public services on oil revenue.   Nagruk Harcharek presents the perspective of the Arctic Iñupiat, underscoring the indispensable role of resource development in ensuring the prosperity and sustainability of North Slope communities. He critiques the federal government's failure to engage meaningfully with Native Alaskan voices, highlighting a disconnect between the administration's professed commitment to tribal consultation and its policy decisions. The discussion also explores the broader national implications of stifling domestic energy production, including increased reliance on foreign oil and the strategic vulnerabilities it creates.   This episode serves as a clarion call for a reevaluation of federal policies affecting Alaska's oil and gas sector. Through their insightful conversation, Crank, Dunleavy, and Harcharek advocate for a balanced approach that respects Alaska's rights, promotes energy independence, and genuinely considers the input of Native Alaskan communities. Their dialogue sheds light on the complex interplay between environmental stewardship, economic necessity, and cultural preservation, urging policymakers and the public alike to recognize the stakes involved in Alaska's ongoing battle against federal overreach.   Check out Voice of the Arctic here: https://voiceofthearcticinupiat.org     Check out American Potential here: https://americanpotential.com   Check out our Spanish episodes here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8wSZydeKZ6uOuFlT_1QQ53L7l6AmC83c   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AmericanPotentialPodcast     Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/americanpotentialpodcast/   X: https://twitter.com/AMPotentialPod

Join us as we dive deep into a chat with Maddie Hall, CEO and co-founder of Living Carbon. Living Carbon leverages synthetic biology to enhance the carbon capture capabilities of trees.Raised in Seattle, Maddie's interest in climate change was sparked early on by her experience witnessing methane leakage in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.Living Carbon's mission is to develop and deploy a synthetic biology carbon removal solution that maximizes the amount of carbon captured per acre. Rather than focusing on crops, as much of the existing field work does, Living Carbon has chosen to concentrate on trees, drawing on methods used in the early 2010s for poplar engineering for biofuel production.Navigating the carbon project development landscape has been one of the greatest challenges for Maddie. The complex and often varying interpretation of methodologies, coupled with an element of in-group mentality among legacy nonprofits and old-school carbon product developers, has presented hurdles. However, Maddie believes that the market needs to mature and that mission-aligned companies joining forces can help change the system from the ground up.As a female founder in a male-dominated field, Maddie also discusses the added challenges and pressures she has faced.Looking forward, Maddie envisions Living Carbon playing a dual role: being the 'picks and shovels' that allow for the scaling of the nature-based carbon capture market, and developing first-of-its-kind projects to demonstrate the feasibility of their approach.

The premise of this conversation is based on a question that Aaron Leggett — the president of the Native Village of Eklutna and the Senior Curator of Alaska History and Indigenous Culture at the Anchorage Museum — and Cody are curious about: What happens to Alaska when oil is no longer economically viable for the economy of the state? Aaron says that his hope for the future is that people will have a better understanding about the role oil plays in Alaska, that although production is in decline we can take the wealth that's been created with it and invest it into Alaska's education system in order to prepare future generations for the new realities and challenges that await them. Permanent Fund Dividend co-creator and state legislator Cliff Groh says that, for decades, oil has been the primary driver of Alaska's economy and fiscal system. However, oil production has been in decline for about 35 years. In the late 1980s, the state had more than 2 million barrels of oil going through the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System every day. Today, it's well under 500 thousand barrels a day. Right now, many people are betting the economic future of Alaska on finding another Prudhoe Bay oilfield. There's the Pikka Oil Field, the Willow Project, and the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, or ANWR. There are arguments for and against each of these projects. Tim Bradner has been writing about Alaska's natural resources since 1966, he's also the co-owner of the Alaska Legislative Digest. He doesn't believe oil in Alaska will ever completely go away because oil fields have a way of producing for decades, but oil will become less and less important to Alaska's economy. Ultimately, he's hopeful for the future, though, that there are other things that will come along to stimulate the economy. Commercial fishing and tourism, for example. He says that if we're smart, we'll use the Permanent Fund to sustain our public services and diversify the economy, meanwhile educating young people and giving them a reason to stick around.

But the holders of those leases -- Alaska's state-owned development finance corporation, the Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority -- is not taking this lightly. AIDEA Executive Director Randy Ruaro joined the podcast to talk about the lease cancellation, the organization's planned lawsuit and why oil development and protecting the environment do not pose an either-or proposition as he sees room for both to coexist.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (09/08/2023): 3:05pm- The hunt for escaped murderer Danelo Cavalcante continued in Chester County, Pennsylvania on Friday. He escaped from Chester County Prison nine-days ago and is considered extremely dangerous. Cavalcante is an illegal migrant from Brazil who was convicted of murdering his ex-girlfriend in 2021—he was also accused of murder in 2017. According to reports, Cavalcante was recently spotted again at Longwood Gardens.

The 43-page document paints a disturbing picture of failures at the homes in Menlo Park and Paramus where dozens of deaths occurred early in the outbreak.

The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board writes: “Six voters in Colorado filed a lawsuit in state court Wednesday to block former President Trump from appearing on the ballot there, citing the theory lately en vogue that the Constitution's 14th Amendment disqualifies Mr. Trump from sitting in the Oval Office ever again.

Mukasey argues that “the 14th Amendment's Insurrection Clause” would not apply to former President Donald Trump. Meaning he could not be deemed ineligible to hold office again. Mukasey writes, “[a] good deal of attention has focused thus far on whether the attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, was an ‘insurrection or rebellion' and, if so, whether Mr. Trump ‘engaged' in it. Those questions, however, need not be answered until two preliminary questions of law are addressed: Is the presidency an ‘office . . . under the United States,' and was the presidential oath Mr. Trump swore on Jan. 20, 2016, to support the Constitution taken ‘as an officer of the United States'?” He continues: “The latter question is easier. The use of the term ‘officer of the United States' in other constitutional provisions shows that it refers only to appointed officials, not to elected ones. In U.S. v.

Join us for a journey into the wild as we sit down with renowned American nature and wildlife photographer, Amy Gulick. A founding Fellow of the International League of Conservation Photographers, Gulick's award-winning images have graced the pages of some of the most respected environmental publications like National Audubon Society, National Wildlife Federation, and the Sierra Club, among others.In this episode, we journey back to 2001, as Amy details her three-week photography expedition to the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge – a monumental effort that secured her the coveted Lowell Thomas Travel Journalism Award the following year. Gulick also reflects on the prestigious accolades she's garnered throughout her illustrious career, including the Daniel Houseberg Wilderness Image Award and the Phillip Hyde grant.Intrigued by the unique symbiotic relationship between the people of Alaska and the wild salmon, Amy embarked on a journey that became the foundation of her new book, "The Salmon Way: An Alaska State of Mind." Venturing into the Alaskan frontier, she delves deep into the web of human relationships revolving around these majestic fish. From working alongside commercial fishermen and learning the rhythms of the sea to immersing herself in Alaska Native traditions of fish preservation and cultural heritage, she sought to capture the essence of a state of mind unique to this region. Sport fishing guides expanded her horizons, teaching her not just the art of the catch but also the philosophy inherent in their way of life. Everywhere she turned, Amy encountered the generosity of the Alaskan spirit, where people from all walks of life shared their salmon-rich lives in kitchens, cabins, and remote fish camps. This is the "salmon way," a testament to the indomitable spirit of Alaska and its people.Her book, "Salmon in the Trees: Life in Alaska's Tongass Rainforest" is also an intimate portrayal of one of Earth's rarest ecosystems, the book takes readers on a vivid exploration of the symbiotic relationship between salmon and the towering trees of the Tongass rainforest. With bears, misty islands, salmon streams, and native cultures as its backbone, the book is a testament to the delicate balance of nature and the looming threats posed by global demands.Gulick shares behind-the-scenes anecdotes, from encounters with native communities to the awe-inspiring sight of humpback whales cruising the forested shorelines.Tune in to discover the beauty, challenges, and stories she has.For news, photography, contact, and engagements: Amy Gulick Images and StoriesTo purchase Gulick's books: The Salmon Way: An Alaska State of Mind — Books (mountaineers.org)Follow No Ordinary Adventure and UnCruise Adventures:YouTube: UnCruise Adventures Twitter: https://twitter.com/UnCruise Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UnCruise
