MARIETTA - More than 40 people attended a forum about the oil and gas industry's impact on local streams, rivers, reservoirs and groundwaters at the Unitarian Universalist Church in Marietta Wednesday.
Betsy Cook, a member of the Marietta/Washington County League of Women Voters group that sponsored the event, started the forum off with an overview of some people's concerns about horizontal hydraulic fracturing, the process used to extract gas and oil from Ohio's Utica and Marcellus shale beds.
Cook acknowledged the recent oil and gas drilling activity is already generating jobs and lease income for many local residents.
"A lot of new businesses are cropping up, and there's a growth in housing sales and rentals," she said. "It's an economic boom and there are many pluses for our area. But there are also some concerns."
Cook noted hydraulic fracturing operations require freshwater ponds containing between 5 million and 8 million gallons of water, as well as brine ponds to hold "flowback" containing the chemical mixture that helps fracture the shale to release gas and oil.
She said other concerns related to the oil and gas operations include increased carbon emissions and road wear from additional truck traffic to and from drilling sites.

* Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District-http://www.mwcd.org/ or call (877) 363-8500, Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
"We're also worried about the chemicals in the brine these trucks are carrying," Cook said. "And there's a tremendous use of freshwater for these operations, so we're concerned about stream and groundwater contamination."
Sean Logan, chief of conservation at the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District, said the organization's sales of water from watershed reservoirs to hydraulic fracturing companies help prevent wear and tear on area roadways by cutting down on truck traffic.
"Temporary pipelines are installed that carry water from the reservoir to tanks that are only used to store freshwater," he said. "The companies are paying $9 per 1,000 gallons for the water."
Logan said a recent sale of 7.8 million gallons of water from Clendening Lake in Harrison County had negligible drawdown from the reservoir.
He said the MWCD puts proceeds from the water sales back into water improvement projects within the watershed. One example is that the conservancy district would like to help the Noble County commissioners with funding to eliminate problems from some septic systems that are leaking into groundwaters there.
Logan added that the MWCD requires oil and gas companies to sign a road use maintenance agreement with the county in which the reservoir is located before any water can be sold. And he noted the district would not provide reservoir water if it impacts recreational use and boating, or if it would affect aquatic life in streams and other waterways.
Although he understood people's anxieties about horizontal hydraulic fracturing operations, Logan said that was not as big a concern for the MWCD as the pipelines that companies are building across the landscape.
"Nature can only provide so much before that bounty has to be restored," he said. "Conversion of land areas for pipeline right of way can create a different kind of ecosystem. We need to prevent fragmentation of these land areas."
Logan said runoff and soil erosion from pipeline construction, as well as the change of animal habitat pipelines can create should be of greater concern in the watershed.
Jesse Daubert, watershed coordinator with the local Friends of the Lower Muskingum River Inc. group, said a Sisters of St. Joseph grant awarded in March would help fund monitoring of water when hydraulic fracturing operations begin in Washington County.
"These funds are to be used to help test water prior to drilling and post-drilling, and then make the results available to the public," he said.
Daubert said the group has been monitoring the Ohio Department of Natural Resources website for new wells coming online in the county, and so far there have been no drilling operations here, although a company is planning to set up an operation in Adams Township.
He said that company still has not obtained the necessary permitting.
"But we want to work with them when drilling begins, to help reduce potential impacts on the watershed," he said.
Marietta area resident Don Libhart, who said he has drilled wells across the country, including injection and horizontal hydraulic fracturing wells, answered some concerns.
"I drill wells clear across the U.S., and just drilled an injection well in the St. Marys area last year," he said. "What people aren't talking about is the casing of these wells."
Libhart noted the wells are drilled down to 8,000 feet, far below the 100 feet or so depth of most drinking water wells.
"We have to set multiple pipe and casings and seal them with cement all the way to the surface on these wells," he said. "They're very, very expensive to drill, costing millions of dollars, and the states require numerous stages of protection."

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KKCO) - Summer is finally here and the Grand Vvalley is really starting to heat up, which means business is hot for some local companies who actually flourish when the temperatures spike.
Grand Junction has already broken three records so far this month for high temperatures, two for triple digit daytime highs and even one for overnight heat.
While the heat might be tough on your plants, some Grand Valley businesses thrive when it gets this hot. "As it gets hotter we get a lot more calls," says Bill Hirt of 72 Degrees.
Hirt says he sees two distinctive spikes in his business throughout the year. There's a jump in the winter but a much bigger one in the summer. "When it's 100, 100 plus degrees and you have a swamp cooler, it's putting out all it can," says Hirt.
Some people are getting out of the house and heading over to the public pool to take a dip. "People come in and they're dripping and they're looking to cool off," says Lincoln Park-Moyer Pool Manager Pete Ashman. This season has already started off warmer than normal. Ashman says normally his staff uses the cooler temperatures to gear up for the rush, but not this year. "It was hot and heavy early on, we had a lot of people here opening weekend and all through JUCO we were busy," says Ashman.
Others are looking forward to the busy time as well, saying the spike in business makes up for slow winter months. "Summer gets here and the nice warm temperatures, then it just goes "swoosh" just like a rocket and it goes way high," says Gelato Junction Owner Jim Hawkins. His business goes up enough to carry him through the entire year. "Probably at least tripled," says Hawkins.
The National Climate Prediction Center is actually predicting a hotter-than-average summer for the Grand Valley. News that puts a smile on the faces of these business owners. "We're hoping for 100 degrees for the next two months," says Hirt. "We're really looking forward to it, we love it when it's busy," says Ashman.

A Quote by Robert Fulghum on he who laughs lasts, unquenchable laughter, immobilization, and laughter
To get through this life and see it realistically poses a problem. There is a dark, evil, hopeless side to life that includes suffering, death, and ultimate oblivion as our earth falls into a dying sun. Nothing really matters.
On the other hand, the best side of our humanity finds us determined to make life as meaningful as possible NOW; to defy our fate. Everything matters. Everything.
It is easy to become immobilized between these two points of view - to see them both so clearly that one cannot decide what to be or do.
Laughter is what gives me forward motion at such intersections. We are the only creatures that both laugh and weep. I think it's because we are the only creatures that see the difference between the way things are and the way they might be. Tears bring relief. Laughter brings release. Some years ago I came across a phrase in Greek - asbestos gelos - unquenchable laughter. I traced it to Homer's Iliad, where it was used to descibe the laughter of the gods. That's my kind of laughter. And he who laughs, lasts.

The Nineteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution.
Nevada City California known as the "Queen of the Northern Mines" has always been the center of amazing things. Since the 1850's this small mountain town located in California's historic Mother Lode has created incredible history. The town's connection to one of the world's most important human rights issue...the right for women to vote in America has strong roots here.
The 39 words that make up the 19th Amendment, the Right for Women to Vote In America, were formally introduced as a constitutional amendment January 1878 by United States Senator Aaron A. Sargent of Nevada City. Aaron and his wife Ellen Clark Sargent, both residents of Nevada City, were dedicated women's suffrage advocates.
The Famous Marching Presidents think it is time we honor that part of Nevada City history. This September 8, 2013 the group will officially kick off the drive to erect a statue to the Sargents and Nevada City's role in that important human rights issue. You are asked to join us in that effort. More information and to donate...
The Famous Marching Presidents ~ Who We Are
We are a unique collection of citizens who see it as their civic responsibility to portray the 44 Presidents of the United States and their first ladies in honor of Constitution Day, the signing of the document that frames this country.
On the second Sunday of September, Presidents and first ladies march hand in hand, dressed in vintage clothing, down the main street of Nevada City, Ca., accompanied by Secret Service agents and volunteers. The parade, which includes bands, civic groups and historical scenes, highlights a weekend of events throughout the town, reenactments and parties, that pay particular homage to our country's most important declaration.
Marching since 1988, our Presidents, First Ladies, and Secret Service agents have become a dynamic part of Nevada City' historic observances and local heritage. Around the country, Constitution Day is observed in schools and handful of towns, but nowhere is it celebrated with such, well, pomp and circumstance than in this tiny burg in the Sierra foothills.
On this website, Famous Marching Presidents and the curious can link to information about our patriotic participants, unique history, awards, media coverage and photographs, community and educational outreach, events calendar, info for new recruits, and opportunities for volunteering.

A Waverly, W.Va., man has been charged with aggravated vehicular assault as the result of a two-vehicle accident in Belpre last month.
According to a release from the Washington County Sheriff's Office, David L. McPherson II, 35, of 872 Bull Run Road, Waverly, was arrested Friday in Marietta Municipal Court on the third-degree felony charge. He remains in custody at the Washington County Jail on a $15,000 bond.
An affidavit of facts filed with the court by Belpre police says McPherson was found unconscious in the driver's seat of a 1979 Dodge station wagon at the scene of a head-on collision Nov. 17 at Stone Road and Campus Drive. McPherson, the driver of the other vehicle and that woman's 7-year-old grandchild were taken to Camden-Clark Medical Center's Memorial Campus as a result of the crash. The extent of their injuries was not specified in the affidavit.

The affidavit says McPherson denied driving the vehicle and claimed the person who was behind the wheel fled the scene. But witnesses stated he had just left a residence in the 700 block of Elm Street, where he had been drinking, prior to the crash, the affidavit says.
McPherson was originally charged with operating a vehicle while intoxicated, no operator's license, no seat belt, expired tags and left of center, all misdemeanors. After consulting with the Washington County Prosecutor's Office, the charges were refiled with the felony aggravated vehicular assault charge in place of OVI.

Two teens charged after 'threatening' shots fired
Published: Saturday, April 6, 2013 at 12:48 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, April 6, 2013 at 12:48 p.m.
Two teenagers are each charged with three counts of first-degree assault and battery in connection to a shooting incident.
According to arrest warrants, Luke Shane Milan, 19, of 8141 Second St. in Boiling Springs, and Timothy Daniel Green, 17, of 125 Daryl St. in Inman, are accused of firing several shots in a "threatening manner" in the immediate vicinity of a victim on March 17.
A man told a deputy he saw a car near the intersection of Berry Road and Berry Boulevard in Boiling Springs that day. He said the car later passed him and a passenger as they drove on Berry Boulevard, according to an incident report.
The driver told a deputy he thought they were being followed and decided to return home. He also said the car passed his residence and a passenger displayed a handgun without pointing it at him and "racked" it.
The man told a deputy that the car turned around and five rounds were shot into the air as the car left the area. Others reported hearing five shots.
The man said he fired a round from his gun out of fear for his safety; the responding deputy saw a spent 9 millimeter casing on his front porch, according to the report.
Green was booked Thursday afternoon into the Spartanburg County Detention Center, while Milan was jailed Friday morning, according to online jail records.
A magistrate's office employee said late Friday afternoon that both men had been released under bond.

Pennsylvania's Yellow Dot Program was created to assist citizens in the "golden hour" of emergency care following a traffic accident when they may not be able to communicate their needs themselves. Placing a yellow dot in your vehicle's rear window alerts first responders to check your glove compartment for vital information to ensure you receive the medical attention you need.
The program is a cooperative effort among the Pennsylvania Departments of Transportation, Health and Aging; the Pennsylvania State Police, the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission and First Responders and local law enforcement.How does it work?
Participants complete a personal information form, which includes the participant's name, contact information, emergency contact information, medical history and medications, allergies and the particpant's doctors' names. A photo – showing only the participant's head and shoulders – is then taped to the front of the completed information sheet.
The yellow dot decal provided in the program kit is placed in the lower left corner of the participant's vehicle's rear windshield. The decal should be no higher than 3 inches from the bottom of the windshield. This decal alerts first responders that vital information can be found in the vehicle.
Place the completed information sheet, with the attached picture, into the Yellow Dot folder, and then place the folder into the vehicle's glove box
For more information or for a PA Yellow Dot kit please call the Wayne County Area Agency on Aging at 570-253-4262.

TRUCKEE, Calif. - I'm a modest sort of fellow - as you know, so I don't want to make a big deal out of this, but I hate being right - again.
A year ago we wrote about a lawsuit against Great America in Santa Clara (home of Shanley Porter) where a doctor sued for getting bumped in a bumper car and breaking her wrist. The trial court sided with Great America, the Court of Appeal overturned and ruled for the surgeon.
I had a fit, arguing bumper cars are for bumping and the risk of getting bumped is obvious. The California Supreme Court must have read the column. Last month it agreed.
Bumper Car Ride
Smriti Nalwa rode along with her 10-year old son on the Rue Le Dodge bumper car ride at Great America. Feeling "pushed around" and needing to "brace herself," she put her hand on the dash and ended up fracturing her wrist.
Of the 600,000 bumper car riders during the 2004 and 2005 operating seasons, only 55 injuries were reported, with only one fracture - Nalwa's. On the other hand, Great America had converted its bumper car rides in four other amusement parks so the cars were driven in only one direction, thereby minimizing the likelihood of head-on collisions. The Court of Appeal wrote, "Although bumping is part of the experience of a bumper car ride, head-on bumping is not."
What? I can tell you from personal experience at Santa Cruz, when I was a kid, head-on bumping was the sport. There was nothing better than nailing your brothers in a bumper car, except maybe jarring your mom and dad.
Significant Case
The California Supreme Court took up the appeal because the case became quite the conversation in the legal world. I guess everyone reads the Law Review. In fact, dozens of Amicus Curia - friend of the court - briefs were filed by all sorts of recreation-related interests.
Assumption of the Risk
As you regular readers of the Law Review know, we've featured several assumption of the risk cases. Basically stated, if you are injured in a sports activity, you generally have assumed the risks inherent in the sport, thus are unable to successfully sue.
The original cases involved sports injuries, like snow skiing, baseball and flag football, but several Court of Appeal cases broadened the assumption of risk doctrine to more general "recreational activities" not considered "sports" per se.
Remember the Burning Man case we wrote about where the court ruled against the Burning Man guy who walked into, then fell into the fire. Duh. Recall the Harley-Davidson "Pursuit for Kids Toy Drive" case. That rider lost his suit to the assumption of risk doctrine.
Amusement Parks
The question in our bumper car case came down to whether the assumption of risk doctrine should be expanded to include amusement park rides, i.e. big stakes.
In a recent case, a Court of Appeal alarmed the amusement industry by finding the assumption of risk doctrine did not apply to a rollercoaster ride because a rollercoaster is a "common carrier" and owes a duty of "upmost care" to riders. Injured party wins.
The recreation and amusement industry was afraid that case allowing recovery would it be extended to bumper car and other amusement rides and to recreational activities not purely "sports." That's what drew all the Amicus briefs.
Supreme Court Ruling
At the risk of boring you even more than you are, let me quote the Supreme Court: "The point of the bumper car is to bump. You pretty much can't have a bumper car unless you have bumps. While not highly dangerous, such collisions resulting in sudden changes in speed and direction, do carry an inherent risk of minor injuries, and this risk cannot be eliminated without changing the basic character of the activity. Imposing liability would have the likely effect of the amusement park either eliminating the ride altogether or altering its character to such a degree - by, for example, significantly decreasing the speed at which minicars (bumper cars) could operate - that the fun of bumping would be eliminated, thereby discouraging patrons from riding. Indeed, who would want to ride a tapper car at an amusement park?"
A tapper car!
The Supreme Court found a bumper car is different from a rollercoaster ride in that the driver of the bumper car controls its movement, so it is not a common carrier like a bus, train or rollercoaster. Judgment for Great America.
I like this decision. If you don't like bumps, don't ride the bumper car. You don't need a judge to tell you that.

Bradenton man killed in Charlotte crash
Published: Friday, April 5, 2013 at 5:46 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, April 5, 2013 at 5:46 a.m.
A 73-year-old Bradenton man was killed in when the car he was driving was hit by another vehicle Thursday morning in Charlotte County, authorities said.
Guillermo Gonzalez was transported to Englewood Community Hospital following the collision, but later was pronounced dead due to his injuries, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
The crash occurred just before 9 a.m. on McCall Road (County Road 776), at the intersection of Winchester Boulevard, per trooper reports. Gonzalez, driving a 2006 Chevrolet Corvette, had stopped facing south at a stop sign on Winchester, before attempting to pull into the eastbound traffic lanes of McCall.
But McCall pulled the Corvette into the path of a westbound 2008 Toyota 4Runner, driven by Brandon Crain Murphy, 64, of North Port, reports noted. Unable to stop or avoid a collision, Murphy's Toyota slammed into the driver side of the Corvette.
Murphy was not injured.
Both drivers were wearing seatbelts at the time of the accident. Troopers continue to investigate.

Ornithine alpha-ketoglutarate (OKG) is used by the body to make many substances related to cell growth and repair. It has been used in medical research to treat severe burns, improve healing after surgery, and other clinical situations. Unfortunately, no research has explored the effects of OKG in athletes.

Hendersonville's Howard Cook, joining the discussion on gun control, is looking for lawmakers to do the right thing. "I hope members of Congress get together on the gun law debate and react to public opinion," he says. "I want them to listen to the people who elected them. I do think we need to limit the size of gun magazines, do better background checks at gun shows and work more to improve mental health care. But think about it. Who needs an assault weapon other than the police and military?"
'WHAT BUGS ME': Mae Castilow of Bat Cave says the gun control crowd will never convince her to give up her assault rifle. "Yes, I have one, and I'm not one to be feared, but they'll have to come and confiscate it. I would never just hand it over," she says. "What about that woman whose home was broken into? She hid in the closet, and if she hadn't had a gun and more than one bullet, she would've been killed. This is what bugs me: They say we should register our guns, but what about those on the street? They're the ones we need to worry about. I'm a sharpshooter, and someone like me is not going to use a gun wrongly. People like me should be able to own an assault weapon. And you'll never stop the criminals from selling and owning assault weapons."
SAYS CHRIS BURLESON of Columbus: "For all those in favor of gay marriage, let me help you out. In the Bible, the handbook for life, it says Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve."
'ALWAYS GREAT': The next time you're choosing a place to dine out, Betty Malone of Hendersonville says you can't go wrong with Fatz. "They have really good baby back ribs," she says, "and the service is always great. You can't go wrong with the chopped sirloin, too. And the prices are very reasonable."
'NUTS BY THE FENCE': There was a huge pecan tree by the cemetery fence. One day two boys filled up a bucketful of nuts and sat down by the tree, out of sight, and began dividing the nuts. "One for you, one for me. One for you, one for me," said one boy. The bucket was so full, several rolled out toward the fence. Cycling down the road by the cemetery was a third boy. As he passed, he thought he heard voices from inside the cemetery. He slowed down to investigate. Sure enough, he heard, "One for you, one for me. One for you." "Oh my gosh!" he shuddered, "It's Satan and St. Peter dividing the souls at the cemetery!" He cycled down the road and found an old man with a cane, hobbling along. "Come quick!" he said, "You won't believe what I heard. Satan and St. Peter are down at the cemetery dividing the souls." The man said, "Shoo, you brat! Can't you see I'm finding it hard to walk as it is!" After several pleas, the man hobbled to the cemetery and heard, "One for you, one for me. One for you, one ... ." The old man whispered, "Boy, you were telling the truth! Let's see if we can see the devil himself." Shivering with fear, they edged toward the fence, still unable to see anything, but they heard, "One for you, one for me. One for you, one for me. And one last one for you. That's all. Let's go get those nuts by the fence, and we'll be done." They say the old guy made it to town 15 minutes before the boy!
LAST BUT NOT LEAST: Folks have seen and heard the Appalachian Fire Blue Grass band at venues from feed stores to restaurants to festivals in Western North Carolina, and the band is coming to Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Hendersonville on May 4 for a 7 p.m. performance. Doors will open at 6:30. During intermission, refreshments will be available. A donation of $15 is suggested. The sanctuary is on Kanuga Road at Price Street. This concert will benefit the church's outreach to promote its goal of a "world community with peace, liberty and justice, and the inherent worth of every person."

Benjamin Franklin Stout b: TX 1829 and Amanda P. Stout b: 1833 Alabama
I am looking for my ggg grandfather Benjamin P. Stout or known to my family as B.P. Stout. He was the son of Texas Ranger Captain and Sheriff John Henry Stout first State Representative and first Sheriff of Wood and Van Zandt Counties. Benjamin was a Confederate Civil War POW veteran and 1st Lieutenant of Company E, 22 Hubbard Texas Infantry Regiment. He was born in 1829 in Red River Settlement, Tejas, Mexico, lived in Texas and died on or about November or before December 25, 1875 in Wood County.
Benjamin can be found in Hopkins County living with his divorced mother Sarah Stout i.e. "Sarah Mary Talbot Stout" in 1850 census. He married Amanda P. maiden name unknown and place of marriage unknown in 1851. He can be found in Wood County in 1860 census, 1870 census, and Amanda can be found widowed in Wood County in the 1880 census. She is also listed (transcription error as Henanda Stout along with B.P. Stout in 1870 Wood County census).
1st Lieutenant B.P. Stout joined the Civil War effort in 1861 as a Sergeant of Co E 22 Texas Infantry Regiment, he was promoted to 1st Lieutenant in 1862, he returned to Wood County sometime after his POW status, (he was captured on July 22, 1864 and was kept in Fort De Russey sp?), wherever that is. He lived next to Henry Stout, his father in Quitman in 1870 with wife Amanda and children.
What I am looking for is;
Where are Benjamin and/or Amanda buried? I assume that the Confederate Soldiers Society may know if he is buried in Wood county if they place flags on Confederate grave sites or if anyone takes photos of graves in that area from your society, they may have run across their burial site. I just do not know how to get started on that road or get in touch with those folks.
What is the name of the burial Cemetery of B.P. Stout and Amanda? If you can find that out, that would be helpful since B.P. died in Wood County! His father John Henry Stout was buried in the Pine Forest cemetery in Hopkins County although he lived in Wood county most of his late adult life 1840 – 1892.
Does Wood County or Hopkins County have records relating to B.P.'s and Amanda's marriage in about 1851? Benjamin was living with his mother in 1850 in Hopkins Co., and their first daughter was born in 1852 in Wood County, hence the 1851 date.
Is there any way to find out what Amanda's maiden name was? My family says that she and her children are listed somewhere as Full Blood Indian or Indian by Blood. I've been told Cherokee or Chickasaw sp?. Without knowing Amanda's maiden name, I have no way to research that tidbit of oral history.
Did Amanda remain in Wood county after 1880? Maybe there are tax records available to you in Wood County since there is no 1890 census. If she re-married after 1880, I would have no way to know that information. If you have any marriage records of an Amanda P. Stout in Wood county after 1880 if she married someone else, re-marrage would be helpful to track her travels down.
I can say that her daughter Martha "Mattie" H. Stout born in Wood County, married John W. Fore of Hood and Van Zandt County and that marriage took place in Oklahoma.
Any help your society could give would be greatly helpful and appreciated.

25 year old Ronald James Blowers of Stover Missouri is charged with two counts of second degree murder in the killing of Wayne and Mable Wells on Dec. 3.
According to Morgan County Sheriff's Department, evidence from the scene and information from Blowers led to the charges being filed. Officials say it was first believed that the victims had been shot from a small caliber firearm; however the autopsy revealed they died of blunt force trauma. They believe that a pipe, knife and screwdriver were used to inflict the injuries. A pipe was found on Thursday near the scene and is believed to be one of the weapons used.
Blowers is currently being held at the Morgan County Adult Detention Center on a $1 million bond.
The investigation is currently ongoing at this time.

On May 15, HR 2454: American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009 (ACESA) was introduced in the House purportedly "To create clean energy jobs, achieve energy independence, reduce global warming pollution and transition to a clean energy economy."
In fact, it's to let corporate polluters reap huge windfall profits by charging consumers more for energy and fuel as well as create a new bubble through carbon trading derivatives speculation. It does nothing to address environmental issues, yet on June 26 the House narrowly passed (229 - 212) and sent it to the Senate to be debated and voted on. More on that below.
On March 31, Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Henry Waxman and Energy and Environment Subcommittee Chairman Edward Markey released a "discussion draft" of the proposed legislation and falsely claimed:
— it's "a comprehensive approach to America's energy policy that charts a new course towards a clean energy economy;" it will
— create millions of clean energy jobs....that can't be shipped overseas;
— put America on the path to energy independence;
— reduce our dependence on foreign oil;
— save money by the billions;
— unleash energy investment by the trillions;
— cut global warming pollution;
— strengthen our economy;" and
— make "America the world leader in new clean energy and energy efficiency technologies."
Strong-arm pressure, threats and bribes got the bill through the House. Forty-four Democrats opposed it. Eight Republicans backed it. Over 1200 pages long, few if any lawmakers read it.
After passage, Chairman Markey said:
"It's been an incredible six months to go from a point where no one believed we could pass this legislation to a point now where we can begin to say that we are going to send President Obama to Copenhagen in December as the leader of the world on climate change."
Speaker Pelosi praised the bill as "transformational legislation which takes us into the future" and added that after passage she took congratulatory calls from Obama, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Al Gore. The former vice-president has long-standing ties to Goldman Sachs (GS), and in 2004 he and David Blood, CEO of GS's asset management division until 2003, co-founded Generation Investment Management LLC, a firm likely to profit greatly from cap and trade schemes.
Known and very popular cialis coupon which gives all the chance to receive a discount for a preparation which has to be available and exactly cialis coupons has been found in the distant room of this big house about which wood-grouses in the houses tell.
In a prepared June 25 statement ahead of the House vote, Obama said:
"Right now, the House of Representatives is moving toward a vote of historic proportions on a piece of legislation that will open the door to a new, clean energy economy."
After citing the same false claims as Waxman and Markey, he called the legislation "balanced and sensible" and "urge(d) every member of Congress - Democrats and Republicans - to come together and support" it.
Polluters love it. So does Wall Street and corporate-friendly environmental groups like the Environmental Defense Fund. The opposition, however, includes Greenpeace, Friends of the Earth and Public Citizen.
In a joint May 13 press release, they were "extremely troubled (about) compromises to the already flawed American Clean Energy & Security Act."
It contains enough loopholes to make its claimed performance standards worthless, one of which prohibits the EPA from using the Clean Air Act to regulate future greenhouse gas emissions. That alone means they'll proliferate beyond what new technology reduces on its own, and only then if it's profitable to do it.
On June 23, Friends of the Earth president Brent Blackwelder said:
"Corporate polluters including Shell and Duke Energy helped write this bill, and the result is that we're left with legislation that fails to come anywhere close to solving the climate crisis. Worse, the bill eliminates preexisting EPA authority to address global warming - that means it's actually a step backward."
A June 25 Greenpeace press release stated:
"As it comes to the floor, the Waxman-Markey bill sets emission reduction targets far lower than science demands, then undermines even those targets with massive offsets. The giveaways and preferences in the bill will actually spur a new generation of nuclear and coal-fired power plants to the detriment of real energy solutions."
On June 27, Public Citizen (PC) called the bill "a new legal right to pollute (that) gives away 85 percent of (its) credits to polluters. (It) will not solve our climate crisis but will enrich already powerful oil, coal and nuclear power companies." PC wants polluters to cut their emissions 80% below 1990 levels by 2050 and pay for credits, not get them free. It also cited the American Wind Energy Association saying that the renewable standard will deliver "effectively zero" new ones.
PC wants consumers protected, not charged a "carbon tax....The bill doesn't, but should, provide money to help homeowners pay for such things as weatherization or to receive rebates for rooftop solar." Its main "consumer protection provision distributes free pollution allowances to electric and natural gas utilities (on the assumption) that the 50 different state utility commissions will redirect all that money back to consumers." In fact, HR 2454 is a thinly-veiled scheme to let companies profit from polluted air, in part financed by a consumer "carbon tax."
Big Coal gets a waiver until 2025. Agribusiness is exempt altogether even though it's responsible for up to one-fourth of greenhouse gas emissions. The nuclear industry will benefit hugely from the free allowances provision. A leaked memo had Exelon, the nation's largest nuclear power company, bragging that it will reap a $1 - $1.5 billion annual windfall.
Overall, carbon trading is a scam, first promoted in the 1980s under Reagan. Clinton made it a key provision of the 1997 Kyoto Protocol. He signed it in 1998, but it was never ratified. As of February 2009, 183 nations did both, but independent scientists call it "miserable failure" needing to be scrapped and replaced by a meaningful alternative.
ACESA is about profits, not environmental remediation. Its emissions reduction targets are so weak, they effectively license pollution by creating a new profit center to do it.
The Next Bubble
Wall Street also will reap a huge bonanza through carbon trading derivatives speculation exploiting what Commodity Futures Trading commissioner Bart Chilton believes will be a $2 trillion market - "the biggest of any (commodities) derivatives product in the next five years." Others see a future annual market potential of up to $10 trillion based on these schemes:
— government-issued cap and trading carbon allowance permits to let polluters emit a designated amount of greenhouse gases; those exceeding the limit can buy rights for more from companies below their limit;
— carbon offsets that let companies emit excess greenhouse gases provided they invest in projects purportedly cutting them elsewhere, either domestically or abroad; they can also fulfill their obligation by stretching out investments for up to 40 years - far enough ahead to avoid them altogether; and
— besides trading allowances and offsets, polluters and Wall Street can play the derivatives game, including with futures contracts for a designated number of allowances at an agreed on price for a specified date.
According to Robert Shapiro, former Undersecretary of Commerce in the Clinton administration: "We are on the verge of creating a new trillion dollar market (through) financial assets that will be securitized, derivatized, and speculated by Wall Street like the mortgage-backed securities market" and all others that inflated bubbles that burst. If cap and trade becomes law, this market will explode so Wall Street is pressuring senators to pass it.
According to the Center of Public Integrity (CPI), around "880 total businesses and groups....reported they were seeking to influence climate change policy" as addressed in HR 2454. Representing 770 of them are "an estimated 2340 lobbyists," a 300% increase in the past five years, or more than "four climate lobbyists for every member of Congress."
In 2003, Wall Street employed none on climate issues. CPI says it now has 130 representing the usual players like Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan Chase, Citigroup and others, and why so is simple - to create a huge new revenue stream to make up for ones lost with perhaps others in the wings, thus far not revealed. Waxman - Markey delivered splendidly, setting the stage for another bubble if HR 2454 becomes law with huge pressure now on senators to assure it.
Warning: Cap and Trade Bubble Ahead
On July 1, Catherine Austin Fitts' Solari.com blog headlined "The Next Really Scary Bubble" in stating:
"If you think the housing and credit bubble diminished your financial security and your community, or the bailouts, or the rising gas prices did as well, hold on to your hat" for what's coming. "Carbon trading is gearing up to make the housing and derivative bubbles look like target practice."
She quoted Rep. Geoff Davis calling it "a scam," Rep. Devin Nunes saying it's a "massive transfer of wealth" from the public to polluters and Wall Street, Rep. James Sensenbrenner stating "Carbon markets can and will be manipulated using the same Wall Street sleights of hand that brought us the financial crisis," and Dennis Kuchinich citing "The best description to date (to) be found in Matt Taibbi's....'The Great American Bubble Machine: From tech stocks to high gas prices, Goldman Sachs (GS) has engineered every major market manipulation since the Great Depression - and they are about to do it again.' "
Taibbi calls GS the "world's most powerful investment bank....a great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity, relentlessly jamming its blood funnel into anything that smells like money." It operates by positioning itself "in the middle of (every) speculative bubble, selling investments they know are crap."
They control Washington and profit by extracting "vast sums from the middle and lower floors of society with the aid of a crippled and corrupt state that (lets it) rewrite the rules in exchange for the relative pennies (it)throws (back as) political patronage."
When inflated bubbles burst "leaving millions of ordinary (people) broke and starving, they begin the entire process over again (inflating new bubbles and) lending us back our own money at interest...." They've been at this since the 1920s and are "preparing to do it again (with) what may be the biggest and most audacious bubble yet" - a new cap and trade derivatives scam written into HR 2454 with GS positioned to profit most from it. Taibbi calls its market edge a position of "supreme privilege (and) explicit advantage" ahead of all others on the Street.
Contributing $4,452,585 to Democrats in 2008 (around $1 million to Obama) was mere pocket change for what it can reap from scams like cap and trade disguised as an environmental plan. The scheme was devised. GS helped write it. The House passed it and sent it to the Senate. Unless stopped, it will transfer more of our wealth to corporate polluters and Wall Street on top of all they've stolen so far from derivatives fraud and the imploded housing and other bubbles. And Goldman will lead the way finding new ways to do it until there's nothing left to extract.
