At a time when impacts of climate change and the clean energy economy are both growing, Florida just voted to….gut energy efficiency goals and terminate a solar program! The backward decision by the Florida Public Service Commission (PSC), the agency charged with regulating utilities, was done at the behest of big, fossil-fuel dependent utilities like Duke Energy that succeeded in pressuring the PSC to do its bidding. This decision sets up our kids to live with dirty power plants that pollute our air and climate many decades in the future. Florida is importing pollution, and exporting dollars. This despite the fact that the Sunshine State has enough solar power potential to meet all of the state’s energy needs many times over. As Florida confronts climate impacts like sea level rise and extreme storms, we need to support every pathway to cut carbon pollution--not create more of it. That’s why we’re demanding that the Public Service Commission reconsider and reverse its vote at one of its first meetings in 2015. If enough ratepayers tell the Public Service Commission that supporting clean, healthy, homegrown energy and energy efficiency is more important than lining the pockets of utilities and fossil fuel corporations, they will have to listen. Please join me in telling the Florida Public Service Commission to restore energy efficiency and solar programs! Thank you for taking action.

The oil industry is saddling firefighters with the threat of oil train fires and explosions that few, if any, fire departments can contain. Even after a record year of disasters, the US Department of Transportation has yet to take action to stop these bomb trains. It's time to take the next step and demand that President Obama protect our nation's firefighters and the 25 million Americans who live in the oil train blast zone.

Republican leaders have already promised to bring the Keystone Pipeline back up for a vote in January. We need to prevent lighting the fuse on a carbon bomb that could blow up our climate. Tell Sen Markey and Warren to pledge to filibuster the KXL pipeline bill when it comes up for a vote in January.

All development plans for Rio Santiago have failed, and there are no current plans to develop anything there. The owners of the property, Milan Capital, confirm the current plan is to expand concrete crushing and stockpiling activities indefinitely. My neighbors and I are directly affected by these operations because we can hear the crushing, rumbling and beeping of trucks and dozers all day. The dust covers our homes and yards, and the piles of gravel impair views across the valley and are unsightly. This dump in the middle of a beautiful rural residential area of East Orange is a visual eyesore. It is time to address the current use directly, by shutting down the dump in East Orange.

HC&S ignores the requirement not to allow their smoke to drop to ground level, and Dept of Health doesn't do their job. On Dec 2, their smoke was a choking blanket on Kihei Elementary school. On Dec 3, they burned wet cane and smoked out Kahului and Wailuku. Their permit needs to be suspended for the rest of the year since weather conditions will continue to cause smoke to be at ground level.

The U.S. Department of Transportation's Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) issued a safety alert on Jan. 2, 2014, regarding the volatility of Bakken crude oil. According to PHMSA data, pipeline operators reported 1,880 crude oil pipeline incidents nationwide between 2003 and 2013 resulting in over 44,265,438 gallons of oil being spilled, fowling groundwater, surface water bodies, farmland and woodland, and resulting in over $2.5 billion in property damage. The majority of these spills were the result of corrosion, equipment failure, incorrect operation or material and weld failures. Only 5% of all cases were spills detected by leak detection equipment. This pipeline will not replace rail and barge transport of crude oil in New York. Instead, it will increase the flow of crude oil in the State to refineries in New Jersey for production and export of refined petroleum products. Supporting long-term investment in fossil fuel infrastructure directly conflicts with New York State’s goal of reducing carbon emissions by 80% by 2050 to reduce the threat of the climate crisis to present and future generations. The pipeline threatens the public interest of the citizens of New York, it's land and water resources including the Hudson River - which the Mid-Hudson Regional Economic Council has identified as vital to regional economic development and prosperity, and should be strongly rejected.

Climate denial financiers like David Koch spend millions of dollars to lie to the public about climate change, and for their own profit. But still PBS affiliates put Koch in positions of power—Koch currently sits on the board of Boston's PBS member station, WGBH, and used to sit on the board of New York's WNET. Tell WNET to adopt a policy against putting denial financiers like Koch in positions of power.

San Onofre is not a safe place to store dangerous spent fuel as it is situated in a recognized tsunami, earthquake, and firestorm zone and is vulnerable to climate change and terrorist attack in a densely populated area. Laguna Beach is within the 20 mile “Dead Zone”. We may escape with our lives, but we will never be able to return to our property.

This petition is to request a reschedule of the Scoping meeting from Thursday, December 11, 2014 6-8pm to a later date, preferably after the holidays, when more members of the community can attend. We also request a change of venue that would accommodate a larger number of people from the community. This proposed 242 housing development will have a significant impact on our entire community and we need more time to inform our community of Sunland-Tujunga that did not receive a notice of this Scoping meeting.

An article by Dahr Jamail at http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/27339 states that 36 supersonic Growler jets will fly 8 to 16 hours/day, 260 days/year, conducting 11 “training events” every day on 3 mobile radiation emitters placed in 15 different locations—all ‘critical habitats’ for endangered species in the Olympic National Forest—and the airspace over the Olympic National Park, a UN World Heritage Site. The Navy is exempt from prohibitions of the Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary, and will conduct live firing of guns, missiles, torpedoes and chaff; it will avoid conducting bombing exercises in the Sanctuary, “to the maximum extent practicable.” Weapons include "lasers, high powered microwaves (HPMs), electromagnetic pulse (EMP), anti-radiation energy in concentrated beams designed to attack personnel, facilities or equipment with intent of degrading, neutralizing, or destroying enemy capabilities." Navy "friendly electronic attack (FEAs) could potentially deny essential services to a local population that, in turn, could result in loss of life, and/or potential ramifications. Not one single public notice about this training was published in any local newspapers serving affected communities on the Olympic Peninsula. The public’s comments on jet noise, EMR health dangers, and pollution have been ignored. A coalition of local Native Tribes, Idle No More, demonstrated against this plan as destructive for the land, water and traditional Native uses on October 29, 2014 and presented letters of objection to the Forest Headquarters in Olympia. Many such letters of protest are now found "missing." And the US Navy already has a functioning site to test their electromagnetic radiation weapons in Idaho.

We are for the responsible management of state wildlife so it can be enjoyed for generations to come. Continuing to have political protections for the Grey Wolf harms other predators and ungulate herds by not considering their needs on the landscape.
