Members janea4old Posted January 27 Members Share Posted January 27 (edited) Trump seizes wartime powers in battle for more fossil fuels via Bloomberg's "investing/commodities" section: https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/investing/commodities/2025/01/26/trump-seizes-wartime-powers-in-battle-for-more-fossil-fuels/ archived (non paywall) copy of same Bloomberg article via Hartford Courant https://archive.is/ (This article was written from a business point of view, -- not written from an environmental point of view). Trump is using some obscure wartime powers clauses, in order to force immediate permits for drilling for oil and natural gas, with a big F* you to mother nature. Most of the Bloomberg article quotes industry execs who think this is great. However the Bloomberg article does have this one quote: “They are definitely reaching deep to utilize pretty specific exceptions,” said Noah Greenwald, endangered species program director at the Center for Biological Diversity. “This executive order is a death warrant for polar bears, lesser prairie chickens, whooping cranes and so many more species on the brink of extinction.”| About Mr. Greenwald: https://www.biologicaldiversity.org/about/staff/ Edited January 27 by janea4old 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
