The Climate Minute: Pipelines and Plain Text (PODCAST)

This week we discuss pipelines in Maine, carbon taxes and legal theories.

 

You can read about the South Portland decision on tarsands  here , here  and here as well as the  Administration’s  off shore oil plan here , here and here and about climate risk preparations and new off-shore wind energy leases .  The media did a slightly better job covering climate stories recently. This link tells the sad story of the Aussie Carbon Tax

 

The Courts are back in the news.  After reading about the Plain Meaning Rule you can render an opinion regarding  attacks on the new carbon regulations or on the interplay of the EPA and the ACA. The old saying goes “Know your enemy”, so you can read about clause 111d here.

 

Because we recognize the necessity of personal accountability for our actions, because we accept responsibility for building a durable future and because we believe it is our patriotic duty as citizens to speak out, we must insist that the United States put a price on carbon.

Thanks for listening.
