EPA wants to let frackers dump chemical-laden water into rivers

Trump’s EPA is trying to take our nation back to the 1920s when polluted water from drilling oil was dumped on more than

2,000 acres in west Texas, creating the Texon scar,

contaminated land so barren almost a century later that it can be identified from space.

The EPA recently released the draft of a study of options to dispose of

“produced water” from drilling for gas and oil that could include irrigation and discharging it into rivers and streams.

The water, sometimes 10 times saltier than seawater and laced with chemicals such as ethylene glycol, the main ingredient in antifreeze,

Fracking can produce as much as 10 gallons of water for every gallon of oil. The amount of wastewater new wells produce during their first year has increased by up to 1,440%.

In 2016, the EPA banned public sewage plants from accepting wastewater from fracking, but the EPA later extended the deadline for complying until August. The water was so corrosive it was damaging factory machinery downstream.

The EPA identified 692 different ingredients used in fracking that can end up in produced water, including acids, gels and sand.

The water can also be radioactive.

Little research has been done about treating waste from drilling for oil and gas, and there are no federal regulations about the radioactive waste produced by drilling for oil.

“The science does not yet exist to say it’s clean enough to release into rivers and streams or to use for crop irrigation or other purposes,”

1,900 tons of radioactive sludge from produced water was illegally dumped in a landfill near the Kentucky River.

The EPA has said it won’t strengthen regulations on waste produced by drilling for oil and gas.

Ten Years Later, the "Halliburton Loophole" and America's Dirty Fracking Boom

President George W. Bush signed the Energy Policy Act of 2005.

The giant energy bill included massive giveaways for the fossil fuel, nuclear and ethanol industries, and

provided only token incentives for renewables and improved energy efficiency.

But the most infamous piece of the law was what is now commonly known as the

“Halliburton Loophole,” an egregious regulatory exemption that ushered in the disastrous era of widespread oil and gas fracking that currently grips our nation.

the law (championed by Cheney and disgraced Enron founder Kenneth Lay, among others)

explicitly exempted fracking operations from key provisions of the Safe Drinking Water Act.

These exemptions from one of America’s most fundamental environmental protection laws

provided the oil and gas industry the immunity it required to develop a highly polluting process on a grand national scale.

So the costs of fracking's produced water is externalized onto everything and everybody but BigOil.

Trump Administration Seeking To Overhaul Forest Management Rules

Federal land managers on Wednesday proposed sweeping rule changes to a landmark environmental law that would allow them to fast-track certain forest management projects, including logging and prescribed burning.

could limit environmental review and public input on projects ranging from forest health and wildfire mitigation to infrastructure upgrades to commercial logging on federal land.

"We do more analysis than we need, we take more time than we need and we slow down important work to protect communities,"

an expansion of "categorical exclusions."

These are often billed as tools that give land managers the discretion to bypass full-blown environmental studies in places where they can demonstrate there would be no severe impacts or degradation to the land.


the administration recently rolled back protections for clean water and wildlife.

"We also don't want to see this become the Trojan horse for unchecked resource extraction,"

duh, that's exactly the objective

The Forest Service insists this is not about ramping up commercial logging in public forests.

"Let me be clear that the Forest Service will continue to deliver high-quality, science-based analysis,"

budget cuts, particularly in the Forest Service, where money has been diverted away from wildlife, habitat and forestry programs to pay for the skyrocketing costs of wildfire suppression.

Sexual Predator News

Justice Thomas just admitted he wants to burn down the very idea that courts should obey precedent

Arson, but for the rule of law.

Justice Clarence Thomas has long approached the law the same way that Heath Ledger’s Joker approaches urban peace.

He’s suggested that federal child labor laws and

the ban on whites-only lunch counters are uncons utional,

written opinions that would blow up multiple federal agencies, and

argued that high school students lack First Amendment rights

because 17th century self-help books told parents to be cruel to their children.

Thomas finally articulated his approach to stare decisis, the principle that courts should generally follow the rules announced in past decisions
.
the rule he ultimately articulates would

give his court free reign to burn down any decision that five of its members do not like.

It’s the kind of judicial arson one might expect from a justice who,

after spending much of his career writing lone dissents that had little impact on his colleagues,

now thinks he may have the votes to do things his way. ( aka, 5 non-squishy hard right politicos as judges)

how bad does a decision have to be before it is “demonstrably erroneous?” —

but bear in mind that this rule comes from a man who has serious doubts about child labor laws.

There are many reasons why courts typically adhere to stare decisis.

Stability in the law is an important virtue,

Stare decisis also helps depoliticize the law.

When the Supreme Court’s political center of gravity changes — as it has shifted to the right under President Donald Trump — it’s tempting for the new majority to declare themselves victors and start pillaging old precedents they do not like.

If power shifts again, the new majority might be equally tempted to retaliate, burning their vanquished foe’s decisions to the ground.

That’s not just a recipe for instability,

it’s a recipe for the kind of politics that turns Supreme Court nominations into existential fights between the two major political parties.

Moreover, it’s a recipe for a court that strips power from the elected branches and claims it for itself.

The only way for the law to have any stability whatsoever is for

judges to accept that the men and women who came before them typically acted in good faith to read difficult-to-interpret language.

And the work of those men and women should not be idly cast aside simply because the current crop of justices think that they could do it better.

Corporate Wolves in Academic Sheepskins, or, a Billionaire’s Raid on the University of Tulsa

This sordid tale of crony capitalism under the guise of public philanthropy is another chapter in the corporatization of higher ed.




TU’s administrators had rolled out a radical restructuring of the university called “True Commitment.” The plan gutted the liberal arts, raised default teaching loads across the university from five courses per year to eight, eliminated all academic departments, created new divisions to house surviving programs (including one called “Humanities and Social Justice”), and established a “Professional Super College” consisting of the formerly independent colleges of law, health sciences, and business.

a hostile takeover that appears to have made TU “a subsidiary of Tulsa’s biggest charitable foundation and an agent of the city’s corporate interests.”

Kaiser then set to work

using the charity to advance his personal financial interests.

A 2013 analysis of GKFF’s 2011 tax return by Bloomberg news disclosed that

“at least $1.25 billion of the charity’s $3.4 billion in assets is invested in ways that benefit Kaiser’s for-profit endeavors.”

The Bank of Oklahoma also happens to be the corporate trustee of the University of Tulsa’s $1.1 billion endowment, which is contained in separate pools of funds collectively known as the Chapman Trusts.

The bank obtained sole and complete control of the Chapman Trusts ...

is of crucial importance in understanding

Kaiser’s takeover of the University of Tulsa, for which he paved the way with donations totaling more than $70 million.

Kaiser effectively took control of TU a year ago.

Trump EPA finalizes rollback of key Obama climate rule that targeted coal plants

The Trump administration finalized its biggest climate policy rollback

Wednesday, requiring the U.S. power sector to cut its 2030 carbon emissions 35 percent over 2005 levels —

less than half of what experts calculate is needed to avert catastrophic warming of the planet.
The Affordable Clean Energy rule,

The First Amendment must be scrapped because conservatives don't like it.

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO), a Christian nationalist and the youngest member of the United States Senate, proposed legislation on Wednesday that would effectively appoint

a panel of government central planners to monitor content on sites like Facebook and Google.

The bill, which violates the First Amendment, purports to be an effort to foster “political neutrality” on major Internet platforms. aka "both sides"

Its practical effect, however, would be to prevent these sites from disfavoring any political viewpoint whatsoever —

including potentially viewpoints that are explicitly genocidal.

Hawley named his bill the “Ending Support for Internet Censorship Act.’’

The bill functions by weakening safe harbor provisions of federal communications law that prevent websites from being held liable for content posted by third parties.

US air quality is slipping after years of improvement

After decades of improvement, America’s air may not be getting any cleaner.

Over the last two years the nation had more polluted air days than just a few years earlier, federal data shows.

While it remains unclear whether this is the beginning of a trend, health experts say

it’s troubling to see air quality progress stagnate.
There were 15% more days with unhealthy air in America both last year and the year before than there were on average from 2013 through 2016, the four years when America had its fewest number of those days since at least 1980.

President Donald Trump has repeatedly claimed just the opposite, saying earlier this month in Ireland:

“We have the cleanest air in the world, in the United States, and it’s gotten better since I’m president.”

There were noticeably more polluted air days each year in the president’s first two years in office than any of the four years before

The Trump administration is expected to replace an Obama-era rule designed to limit emissions from electric power plants on Wednesday.

Called the Clean Power Plan, it would have gradually phased out coal-burning power plants that emit both air pollutants and heat-trapping gases responsible for climate change.

Trump is moving to loosen regulations on coal-fired power plants and cars that scientists credit for cleaner air, and

he appears to be less stringent about enforcing current rules,

looser restrictions and lax enforcement would almost certainly reverse the gains that have been made in recent decades,

potentially turning what has so far been a modest, two-year backslide into a dangerous trend.

EPA quietly posted new air quality data online last month that shows a recent uptick in polluted days.

if regulations on coal plants, cars and other emissions are relaxed,

the air quality will deteriorate

“There is zero reason to expect any other outcome,”

Emulating the CIA, New Rule Would Let Trump's EPA Disregard FOIA Requests With Near Impunity

"They want to box everyone out of the process who might call their policies into question."

The Trump administration is set to introduce a new rule,

without giving the public a chance to weigh in,

which will

allow officials at the Environmental Protection Agency to deny information requests

—similar to how the CIA does so—by falsely claiming requested records are unavailable.

A rule, signed by EPA Administrator coal Andrew Wheeler, will expand agency officials'

authority to reject a FOIA request by labeling it as "non-responsive,"

meaning the agency has decided to withhold the requested records or has claimed certain exemptions from FOIA.

The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in 2016 that

agencies have "no authority in the statute for the government" to redact certain information from a FOIA response

"on the basis that the information is nonresponsive."

Under the new rule, officials will also be able to

file their reply to requests as "no records,"

meaning no do ents or materials could be found to satisfy a request—

even if the record was simply withheld by the agency at an official's discretion.

The rule is expected to be entered into the Federal Register as early as Wednesday, and

will reportedly not be subject to a public comment period as new policies often are.

The secrecy with which the Trump administration was pushing the rule through drew condemnation from critics.

Trump wants to remove protections for wolves. Idaho shows why that's a bad idea

Let wolves roam: Spending taxpayer money to kill wolves is going to cost more money in the long run. Here's why

Why is Idaho using tens of thousands of taxpayer dollars to kill seven wolves?

There are no livestock conflicts in the Lolo, and

elk numbers declined long before wolves were present.

Killing wolves year after year has had no measurable effect on elk numbers,

yet the aerial gunning of entire wolf packs continues today.

This is just one example among many demonstrating how badly Idaho is abusing its state authority to “manage” wolves, and

a cautionary tale for what could happen if wolves were delisted throughout the lower 48.

Only about 500 to 800 wolves remain statewide, though we cannot know for certain since Idaho no longer reports wolf counts as it did under federal oversight. Comparatively,

we have an estimated 2,000–3,000mountain lions,

20,000 black bears, tens of thousands ofcoyotes,

over 100,000 elk,and

more than 500,000 deer.

Idaho pledged to manage wolves “like black bears and mountain lions” as part of the agreement to lift federal protections in 2011,

but the state has broken that promise repeatedly, and the situation is only getting worse.

with renewed attempts by the Trump administration and some in Congress to remove all federal protection for wolves across the country,

more wolves may become victims of archaic and brutal predator management,

the very reason they once were afforded federal protection.
