Producers were left utterly dependent selling to the 500 legacy boilers, half more than 50 years old, most lacking modern pollution controls, all facing EPA’s new health requirements. And behind everything loomed Barack Obama’s determination to fulfill “W”s campaign promise—to clean up all the pollution from power plants, including carbon.Bloomberg Philanthropies, impressed by the Sierra Club’s Beyond Coal success at blocking the new generation of coal plants, and appalled by the death and health costs of the outmoded legacy fleet, stepped in with a $50 million contribution to enable the Sierra Club and its allies to ensure the retirement of the first one-third of coal generators; and an <a href="http://ecowatch.com/2015/04/08/bloomberg-philanthropies-sierra-club/" style="text-decoration: none; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 51, 153); outline: none; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">additional $30 million</a>to secure the retirement of a full half the U.S. coal fleet by 2017.may 2013 announce quitomg ati lawsuit hu experiment: 11/13/2012 forbesEPA Charged With Lethal Experiments On Hundreds Of Unsuspecting Subjectsalso FOIA, mayfly on MTRwindsor emails 12/12

Former Environmental Protection Agency Administrator <a href="http://huffingtonpost.com/news/lisa-jackson" target="hplink">Lisa Jackson</a> will be joining Apple, CEO Tim Cook announced Tuesday. The news came at All Things Digital's <a href="http://allthingsd.com/conferences/d/d11/about/" target="hplink">D11 conference</a> in Southern Calif.

Jackson will <a href="http://allthingsd.com/20130528/former-epa-chief-lisa-jackson-to-join-apple/" target="hplink">coordinate environmental practices for the company</a>, All Things D reported. “Apple has shown how innovation can drive real progress by removing toxics from its products, incorporating renewable energy in its data center plans, and continually raising the bar for energy efficiency in the electronics industry,” <a href="http://www.politico.com/story/2013/05/lisa-jackson-epa-apple-91971.html" target="hplink">she told Politico in an email</a>.

Apple's 2012 environmental report showed <a href="http://www.earthtechling.com/2013/03/the-more-clean-energy-powered-apple-waves-its-eco-flag/" target="hplink">all of the company's data centers, and 75 percent of all facilities</a>, were powered by renewable energy. Yet Apple's overall estimated <a href="http://appleinsider.com/articles/13/03/21/apple-claims-data-centers-100-renewable-powered-75-for-corporate-facilities" target="hplink">greenhouse gas emissions rose 34 percent between 2011 and 2012</a>. Apple explains 98 percent of its carbon footprint comes from "<a href="http://www.apple.com/environment/our-footprint/" target="_hplink">the manufacturing, transportation, use and recycling</a>," of its products.

Politico notes the company left the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in 2009 after comments from the group "opposing the EPA's effort to limit greenhouse gases," according to Apple's resignation letter.

Jackson <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/12/27/lisa-jackson-resigns-epa-administrator_n_2370019.html" target="hplink">stepped down from her role as EPA chief</a> in February, after serving for four years. Her replacement at the EPA, Gina McCarthy, is currently awaiting confirmation from the full Senate. McCarthy's nomination was <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/05/16/gina-mccarthy-senate-epa_n_3286749.html" target="hplink">approved by the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee on May 16</a> after an initial boycott from Republicans.

background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">Climate Change</h2>On April 17, 2009 the EPA issued a “proposed endangerment finding” and a related proposed “cause or contribute finding” regarding <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Greenhouse_gases" title="Greenhouse gases" class="mw-redirect" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">greenhouse gases</a> under section 202(a) of the <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Clean_Air_Act" title="Clean Air Act" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Clean Air Act</a> (section dealing with “Emission standards for new motor vehicles or new motor vehicle engines”). The EPA held a 60-day public comment period for these proposed findings, and received over 380,000 public comments. On December 7, 2009, the EPA issued two final findings regarding greenhouse gases under section 202(a) of the Clean Air Act: Endangerment Finding – The Administrator finds that the current and projected concentrations of the six key well-mixed greenhouse gases--<a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Carbon_dioxide" title="Carbon dioxide" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">carbon dioxide</a> (CO2),<a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Methane" title="Methane" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">methane</a> (CH4), <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Nitrous_oxide" title="Nitrous oxide" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">nitrous oxide</a> (N2O), <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Hydrofluorocarbons" title="Hydrofluorocarbons" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">hydrofluorocarbons</a> (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), and sulfur hexafluoride (SF6)--in the atmosphere threaten the public health and welfare of current and future generations. Cause or Contribute Finding – The Administrator finds that the combined emissions of these well-mixed greenhouse gases from new motor vehicles and new motor vehicle engines contribute to the greenhouse gas pollution which threatens public health and welfare.<a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Lisa_Jackson#cite_note-6" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[6]</a><a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Lisa_Jackson#cite_note-7" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[7]</a><a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Lisa_Jackson#cite_note-8" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[8]</a><h3 style="margin: 0px 0px 0.3em; overflow: hidden; padding-top: 0.5em; padding-bottom: 0.17em; border-bottom-style: none; background-image: none; background-attachment: initial; background-color: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">Dec. 2009: EPA finalizes endangerment finding</h3>On December 8, 2009, Lisa Jackson said in a written statement that the EPA finding declaring <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Carbon_dioxide" title="Carbon dioxide" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">carbon dioxide</a> and five other <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Greenhouse_gases" title="Greenhouse gases" class="mw-redirect" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">greenhouse gases</a> to be a threat to public health, marks the start of a U.S. campaign to tackle greenhouse gas emissions.<a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Lisa_Jackson#cite_note-foxnewepa-9" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[9]</a><h3 style="margin: 0px 0px 0.3em; overflow: hidden; padding-top: 0.5em; padding-bottom: 0.17em; border-bottom-style: none; background-image: none; background-attachment: initial; background-color: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">December 2010: EPA issues plan to regulate power plants and petroleum refineries</h3>On December 23, 2010, the EPA issued its plan for establishing <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Greenhouse_gas" title="Greenhouse gas" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">greenhouse gas</a> (GHG) pollution standards under the <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Clean_Air_Act" title="Clean Air Act" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Clean Air Act</a> in 2011. The agency looked at a number of sectors and is moving forward on GHG standards for fossil fuel power plants and petroleum refineries—two of the largest industrial sources, representing nearly 40 percent of the GHG pollution in the United States. Under the plan, EPA will propose standards for power plants in July 2011 and for refineries in December 2011 and will issue final standards in May 2012 and November 2012, respectively. EPA will accept public comment on the plans for 30 days following publication of notice in the Federal Register.<a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Lisa_Jackson#cite_note-10" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[10]</a>The EPA regulation addresses existing sources, using the statutes of the <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Clean_Air_Act" title="Clean Air Act" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Clean Air Act</a>'s New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) to impose limits in 2012 on the amount of CO2 the biggest polluters can emit. The EPA said it would cover 40 percent of U.S. emissions.<a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Lisa_Jackson#cite_note-11" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[11]</a>.The EPA has also been developing a permitting program for new (or substantially upgraded) sources. In May 2010, the EPA issued its "Tailoring Rule," determining which sources will need to get permits (very large sources). In November 2010, it issued "PSD and Title V Permitting Guidance for Greenhouse Gases," which detailed that the permitting program would be run much like existing permitting programs: through the states.<a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Lisa_Jackson#cite_note-gr-12" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[12]</a>The regulations will be applied to plants that were "grandfathered" (exempted) under the original <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Clean_Air_Act" title="Clean Air Act" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Clean Air Act</a>.<a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Lisa_Jackson#cite_note-gr-12" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[12]</a><h3 style="margin: 0px 0px 0.3em; overflow: hidden; padding-top: 0.5em; padding-bottom: 0.17em; border-bottom-style: none; background-image: none; background-attachment: initial; background-color: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">Feb. 9, 2011: Jackson defends endangerment finding</h3>On February 9, 2011, Jackson made a trip to Capitol Hill to speak before the Energy and Power Subcommittee of the House Energy and Commerce Committee. Lisa Jackson came under fire from House Republicans who charged that the EPA's proposed emissions rules would mean "higher prices and fewer jobs." Lisa Jackson stated that a bill drafted by Rep. <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Fred_Upton" title="Fred Upton" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Fred Upton</a>, R-Mich., to prevent the EPA from using the act to curb greenhouse gases, was "part of a broader effort in this Congress to delay, weaken, or eliminate <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Clean_Air_Act" title="Clean Air Act" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Clean Air Act</a> protections of the American public."

 Washington attorney suing the Obama administration for access to alias emails sent by EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson claims that a recent decision by the Justice Department to release thousands of those emails next month contributed to her resigning Thursday. Jackson, in a brief written statement, said Thursday she is leaving the EPA after four years on the job, for "new challenges, time with my family and new opportunities to make a difference." The agency did not offer an explanation. But Chris Horner, a senior fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, said the scrutiny over the alias emails is clearly a factor. "Life's full of coincidences, but this is too many," he told FoxNews.com. "She had no choice." Horner and CEI earlier this year had sued the EPA for documents pertaining to Jackson's use of alias email accounts. She was said to operate under the name "Richard Windsor" -- the use of those accounts has since drawn the scrutiny of Republican members of Congress, as well as triggered an audit by the EPA inspector general. According to court documents, the EPA -- represented by the Justice Department -- two weeks ago agreed to release as many as 12,000 emails pertaining to the CEI request beginning by Jan. 14, at a rate of 3,000 documents per month. The court accepted the schedule last week. Horner said the increased scrutiny on the alias account, coupled with what those emails might contain regarding the administration's alleged "war on coal," likely contributed to Jackson's announcement Thursday. "She, by her action, told us that these are records she doesn't want the people to see," Horner said. President Obama, in a written statement, made no reference to the emails. "Over the last four years, Lisa Jackson has shown an unwavering commitment to the health of our families and our children," Obama said. "Under her leadership, the EPA has taken sensible and important steps to protect the air we breathe and the water we drink ... I wish her all the best wherever her future takes her." Asked for a comment Thursday, an EPA representative referred FoxNews.com back to Jackson's earlier statement.In November, when reports of the alias accounts were first surfacing, an EPA spokesman said the agency has for roughly a decade assigned internal and public email addresses to administrators -- and that they use the internal ones to communicate with staff because of the massive amount of traffic on the public accounts. The spokesman also said both accounts are reviewed and made available when a Freedom of Information Act request is made. Republican lawmakers, though, expressed concern about the accounts, and particularly the use of a fake name. "While we understand the need for a secondary account for management and communications purposes, your choice to use a false identify remains baffling," Republicans on the House Committee on Science, Space and Technology wrote to Jackson last week. Earlier in the month, the EPA inspector general's office confirmed that it was opening an audit into the agency's "electronic records management practices." The office said they would look into whether the EPA was, among other things, encouraging the use of "private or alias email accounts to conduct official government business." Horner has said the agency's use of secret email accounts dates back to the Clinton administration and then-Administrator Carol Browner. He called Jackson's account a "deliberate, several stage deception." Jackson's tenure was marked by a string of high-profile fights between her agency, and the energy industry along with congressional Republicans. Goals for a cap-and-trade climate bill in Congress were scuttled early on in the Obama administration, but her agency went on to set new fuel efficiency standards for U.S. vehicles, as well as new rules for power plants. She played a role in pushing for a delay in the Canada-to-Texas Keystone XL pipeline. All along, Republicans in Congress repeatedly tried to block EPA regulations on coal and other industries. Fox News' Doug McKelway contributed to this report.

BP’s cover-up was not planned in advance but devised in the heat of the moment as the oil giant scrambled to limit the PR and other damages of the disaster. Indeed, one of the chief scandals of the disaster is just how unprepared both BP and federal and state authorities were for an oil leak of this magnitude. U.S. law required that a response plan be in place before drilling began, but the plan was embarrassingly flawed.

<a href="http://www.thedailybeast.com/newsweek/2013/04/22/what-bp-doesn-t-want-you-to-know-about-the-2010-gulf-spill.print.html">http://www.thedailybeast.com/newsweek/2013/04/22/what-bp-doesn-t-want-you-to-know-about-the-2010-gulf-spill.print.html</a>

<a id="body_text20" name="body_text20" style=" visibility: hidden;">“We weren’t managing for actual risk; we were checking a box,” says Mark Davis, director of the Institute on Water Resources Law and Policy at Tulane University. “That’s how we ended up with a response plan that included provisions for dealing with the impacts to walruses: because [BP] copied word for word the response plans that had been developed after the Exxon-Valdez oil spill [in Alaska, in 1989] instead of a plan tailored to the conditions in the gulf.”</a>

</div>

<a id="body_text21" name="body_text21" style=" visibility: hidden;">As days turned into weeks and it became obvious that no one knew how to plug the gushing well, BP began insisting that Corexit be used to disperse the leaking oil. This triggered alarms from scientists and from a leading environmental NGO in Louisiana, the Louisiana Environmental Action Network (LEAN).</a>

</div>

<a id="body_text22" name="body_text22" style=" visibility: hidden;">The group’s scientific adviser, Wilma Subra, a chemist whose work on environmental pollution had won her a “genius grant” from the MacArthur Foundation, told state and federal authorities that she was especially concerned about how dangerous the mixture of crude and Corexit was: “The short-term health symptoms include acute respiratory problems, skin rashes, cardiovascular impacts, gastrointestinal impacts, and short-term loss of memory,” she told GAP investigators. “Long-term impacts include cancer, decreased lung function, liver damage, and kidney damage.”</a>

</div>

<a id="body_text23" name="body_text23" style=" visibility: hidden;">(Nineteen months after the Deepwater Horizon explosion, a scientific study published in the peer-reviewed journal Environmental Pollution found that crude oil becomes 52 times more toxic when combined with Corexit.)</a>

</div>

<a id="body_text24" name="body_text24" style=" visibility: hidden;">BP even rebuffed a direct request from the administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, Lisa Jackson, who wrote BP a letter on May 19, asking the company to deploy a less toxic dispersant in the cleanup. Jackson could only ask BP to do this; she could not legally require it. Why? Because use of Corexit had been authorized years before under the federal Oil Pollution Act.</a>

Jackson, Lisa
