Interesting article from two of my colleagues on the evolving world of Environmental Justice.
Sarah Sieloff and Lydia Kubiak-Cardona probe questions that many applicants for federal funds are asking: How are agencies like the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) assessing compliance with Justice40, the federal government’s central environmental justice program? And what are the takeaways for making a strong EJ case within funding applications? Learn more: https://lnkd.in/e35gp5Cd

To avoid runaway global heating — which would spell the end of human civilization within this century, and the likely deaths of billions within 2-3 decades — human civilization must cut greenhouse gas emissions (which means cutting fossil fuel uses) 75% BEFORE 2030, and 90% by 2040. Human civilization is also in a state of extreme ecological overshoot, using natural resources far faster than they can replenish. This creates the risk of collapse of large segments of human civilization by mid-Century, even if there were no global heating. Mitigation requires global energy cuts of >60% by 2040. In short, 75% of fossil fuel uses must be eliminated BEFORE 2030, 90% by 2040, if there is to be any possibility for avoiding runaway global heating that will end human civilization and cause the deaths of many billions of people during this century. These cuts must be made no matter what the consequences... because any other consequences will be of less scale and severity than failing to make these cuts. It is imperative that INGAA, and others in the fossil fuel industries, accept these facts, and select pathways to phase out their businesses, beginning immediately — for their own good, as well as for the greater good.
The INGAA membership applauds today's decision by the Supreme Court of the United States to issue an emergency stay of the Environmental Protection Agency's "Good Neighbor" Rule. Read more: https://lnkd.in/gJUSubA6

"We are calling on the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to hold GE fully responsible for cleaning up the remaining PCBs and restoring the health of our majestic Hudson River. In its upcoming 5-year review, the EPA must unequivocally declare a ‘not protective’ determination.” - Senator Michelle Hinchey Last week 48 members of the New York State Senate and Assembly sent a letter to EPA Administrator Michael Regan calling on the EPA to follow the science and do right by the Hudson River and our communities. Senator Hinchey was one of many legislators who joined our Friends of a Clean Hudson press conference. Read more -> https://lnkd.in/eK4PiDKu

Within the industry, it's well understood that electric generation comprises the lion's share of any utility's expenses, typically ranging from 60-70% of the total cost to supply power to households. This shift will have a significant ripple effect on nationwide power costs. Kudos to NRECA for proactively addressing this issue rather than standing idly by.
The National Rural Electric Cooperative Association today filed a lawsuit challenging the Environmental Protection Agency over its unlawful power plant rule. Read more here: https://bit.ly/3WBlmb6

MGC signed a petition on Action Network telling Congress to Counteract SCOTUS Decision—Empower EPA for Strong Environmental Protections. The recent U.S. Supreme Court decision to reject the longstanding Chevron doctrine has significantly shifted the balance of regulatory power, creating challenges for effective environmental and climate policy enforcement. For decades, the Chevron doctrine directed judges to defer to expert federal agencies, such as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), when asked to interpret and enforce ambiguous federal laws aimed at protecting the environment or public health. This deference ensured that regulations could evolve with scientific advancements and emerging environmental threats. The Supreme Court's decision now limits this ability, placing the burden of interpretation on the judiciary and potentially weakening crucial environmental protections. https://lnkd.in/eSiVCyB3
