It's everything from people saying, you know, their skin is itchy to horrible birth defects that they claim are the result of these environmental practices.

He is the moderator for the host of the Bloomberg's big take podcast and you can check that out wherever you get your podcasts and this addition talks about sourcing aluminum in Brazil, a lot of folks do source their aluminum and Brazil. And this is a story that tracks some of that ends up in the Ford F one 50 electric vehicle, but of course there are many users of that aluminum, but tough stories there, but it seems like we've seen these industrial stories time and time again. Well, the thing is, it's interesting with Ford because this company has, you know, time and time again shown its ESG chops. I mean, way back in the day, I guess the 90s, they had this huge vehicle, the excursion and Bill Ford ended up talking to so many people from the Sierra club that they canceled that. And they no longer make really the big V8s anymore. So I guess this is one more problem they got to tackle. Supply chain issues down the line. This is Bloomberg.

"Step in and take a proactive approach and say that no, these trees are worth saving and this diversity is worth preserving, and we have the opportunity to do that with these modern molecular biology tools. No, very good. I think it's a really good point because, like you say, if you choose not to decide, you have made a choice, right? To quote the famous doctor Getty Lee. I guess the thing that to me about this is that there's so many organizations. I think nature conservancy is another one Sierra club who traditionally would not be into this that have given this such a good endorsement. And I'm really excited about it, but still the main goal today was to get others to maybe participate in this public common period. So is there a do you have a particular link that you would like to share or any place where people can get more information? Yeah, I actually wrote an op-ed for the hill recently where I kind of go through all the arguments for deregulating this tree as far as safety goes. There was another article published recently by an opponent of ours and I decided I wanted to take the time to answer all those criticisms and talk about the safety of the tree. So if you look up an article in the USDA's approval of a GE chestnut would be a step forward for threatened species, that will lay out for you and a lot of detail why I think that these trees are safe and should be deregulated. Perfect. And I'll put a link in the show notes as well. And I've also written an article in genetic literacy project that outlines some of this as well. Just so you have lots of resources to really dig into this. And I encourage you to look at the arguments for and against it and really come up with a codified decision and then tell your story in that public common period. Even if you're against, you know, rational discussion is what's needed here rather than boilerplate we hate technology, brands that come from some of the opponents of this technology. So just in for those of you who are interested, you can find the public common website in those articles. Those aforementioned articles, but you also can find it at regulations dot gov.

"And wind, the cheapest forms of energy are forms of energy that are the best for the environment and the best for the grid. Amazing. Isn't that incredible? It's incredible. So it's like I've been saying that for a long time, but it wasn't really true. Because of that moment in Bitcoin history, what matters that you found a place to plug in. And everybody's saying to me, people never mind on solar. It's intermittent. It's intermittent. It's not reliable. A lot of solar haters in the Bitcoin community. But I was like, yeah, but we'll be able to tolerate some downtime and they were like, no, you have to mine with like a 100% uptime, or it's not profitable. And they were right for the particular moment we're in. Because there is a constraint on the asics available, each asic is worth a ton. It's printing money. And there's only so many to go around. And so there's a lot of depreciation there that you have to cover when you're asic as $15,000. You've got to get $15,000 before it's phased out. But in an ultimately know that the cost of an asic is going to trend towards the cost of production. Otherwise, more people would just keep producing asics, right? And it doesn't cost that much to produce an asic. So and we know that there's going to be more and more old models in the fleet left around. Like S 9s are basically junk now. But not completely not completely. Because they're still printing money. And if you have access power, why you're not plugging an S 9 rather than not plug it in. And if that's only 6 hours a day, where it's negatively priced or one cent a kilowatt hour, why not do it rather than not do it, right? So the uptime requirements I got pushback on that from the Sierra club from the environmental side. Oh, you need a 100% uptime. You

We have, how about the ones in Arizona or Texas of nonprofit groups that are funneling people across the border illegally, right? Just go raid them. Get a warrant, do it legally.

What Is Envirostatism?
"Nonetheless this chapter chapter 8 is called enviro statism The science broadly defined and you'll see why I'm discussing this in a moment Is a door to knowledge Although the statist and I will change that word now to Marxist His fond of accusing the conservative of slamming the door shut It's actually the marxists who abandoned science just as he abandons the laws of nature reason experience economics and modernity When he promotes what can best be characterized as enviro statism His pursuit after all is power not truth With the assistance of applied or sympathetic media the Marxist uses junk science misrepresentations and fear mongering to promote public health and environmental scares Because he realizes that in a true widespread health emergency The public expects the government to act aggressively to attract to address the crisis despite traditional limitations when governmental authority Since 13 years ago well before the coronavirus The more dire the threat the more liberty people are usually willing to surrender This scenario is tailor made for the Marxist The government's authority becomes part of the societal frame of reference only to be built upon during the next crisis So the pathology of the Marxist health scare works like this an event occurs cases of food contamination are discovered or instances of a new disease arise Arises increasingly the case government agencies such as the Food and Drug Administration the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention or the Environmental Protection Agency Or nonprofit organizations such as the center for science and the public interest or the Sierra club release a new study identifying a frightening new health risk

"Instead of burning electric vehicles, rechargeable batteries. Because that would put more of a strain on already strained grid in most places. So I think that's the problem. And again, could it be premature? That's a generous way. I would say erroneous, probably better put, but that's where we are. Yeah, and I would hope that the. Industries that are involved in serving us with their electric generation point out the complete story to us and if there are blackouts, they need to be named after some of these environmental organizations, such as today's brownout, brought to you by the Sierra club. And I think that could get through to a voting public if they lose food in their freezers or if they're having accidents at intersections where the stoplights don't work or if they're being stuck in elevators because I believe that these brownouts are coming as this heat wave progresses through the summer. Oh my goodness, I think this is one of the best ideas I heard in a while. John, so in effect, it would be like, oh, what happened? I'm throwing out all my meat. It went bad. Why'd it go bad? I had to turn off my refrigerator. What did you get? I had the Bernie Sanders brownout and it just it wiped out all the meat in the freezer. That is absolutely genius. I think I love it.

"14 was delayed two weeks earlier this month. Two others set for June 28, and Utah and Montana have been pushed back. Coalition of 13 environmental groups wrote in a May 18 protest filing, challenging the Nevada cell, quote greenhouse gas pellucid resulting only from existing federal fossil fuel development and potential development from leases and drilling permits already issued but not yet under production. We contribute catastrophic climate change and unnecessary and undue degradation to the atmosphere, and other public lands, values that BLM is legally obligated to protect. Steam billows from stacks at the naughton power plant on June 12th, 2022 in Wyoming, while and they have attacked that too. The groups led by the western environmental law center argued the administration wasn't legally required to hold the sales. The Sierra club joined the coalition and filed a second protest. See, this is what's going on. This is what's going on. In April the department of interior announced it would proceed with the 6 oil and gas lease sales. As part of a reformed federal leasing program that reduced land available by 80%. An increased royalty rates for drillers. The administration said it would hold the sales because of a June 2021 federal court blocking Biden's attempted pause on all new leases. So what the marxists are doing is bringing endless lawsuits and endless regulatory challenges to prevent. To prevent drilling, to prevent these new leases, the administration is yet to hold a single offshore lease sale over the last 18 months. They haven't held a single onshore onshore, not offshore, onshore, lease sale over the last 18 months. So there we go. But don't blame Biden. It's doing everything he can. Everything he can. Ladies and gentlemen, they did everything they could to cripple our energy industry and that's exactly what they're doing. But here's the kicker. What have I been telling you? Month after month, after month for year after year after year. What they want to do is drive up the cost and move you into denser and denser housing and public transportation. That's the goal. That's also the goal with the attack. On local zoning, where they're trying to destroy single family housing. Joe Biden let the cat out of the bag today. I will focus on this right now where nobody else has. I want you to listen to this. Cut 6 go. We're already building secure supply chains to build these electric vehicles here in America. And we're investing almost a $100 billion in public transit and rail. For all the studies show, that it will take millions of cars off the road as significantly loose pollution if there's a serious transportation system available. They're going to force it upon you. The driving up the cost of fuel, the driving up the cost of automobiles. There are war with local zoning in your communities. The pushing for public transportation and denser and denser housing. This is the great scheme this is the great plan. Like the old Soviets. That's exactly what's taking place. Listen, one more time. Let's listen carefully. Cut 6 go. We're already building secure supply chains to build these electric vehicles here in America. And we're investing almost a $100 billion in public transit and rail. For all the studies show, that it will take millions of cars off the road as significantly loose pollution if there's a serious transportation system available. And I'm telling you the day is coming. When they are going to control how many automobiles you can have, what kind of automobiles, how far you can drive, they will monitor your mileage. They will monitor your gasoline purchases, they will do the same with your housing, with all my name of a environmental emergency. That is what they're up to. That is where we are headed. There is no question in my mind about this. No question in my mind about this, and it'll all be done through the back door. With grants would contracts with regulations with executive orders. The Democrat party is shrinking the economy, it's shrinking your income. It's shrinking, national growth, economic growth. It's shrinking the housing market. It's shrinking the automobile market. They want everybody on electricity and then they have complete control over all of that. Public utilities. You don't believe me? Well, stay alive another 20 or 30 years, maybe just 15 years.

"This is climate one I'm Mariana brosius The nation's largest most prominent environmental organizations have typically been run by white men Because of this the needs of marginalized communities have often not been put at the forefront of the group's efforts As director of organizational transformation at the Sierra club hop Hopkins is one of the people working to change that I asked what led him to that organization after years of working in the racial justice and environmental justice movements For me personally it was a recognition that climate was a major issue as well as environmental injustices that I was seeing and experiencing an environmental justice organizer and recognizing that the Sierra club was a huge organization It had lots of power and clout in the policy space I felt like it was an opportunity for me to get engaged with the organization And I had gotten wind that the organization was really beginning to look at its work and trying to be more holistic in its approach to how it addressed environmental degradation and climate change So I thought it was an opportunity to get engaged and get involved to help the organization move to a place of being more holistic and approach to how it was addressing those issues So right now the work that you do what does it look like What can you describe kind of the work that organizational transformation consists of Sure So my role is organizational directive organizational transformation is really about trying to help the organization develop intersectional analysis about how it does its environmental work We want to try to be more effective partners to social movements that we share goals and objectives and values with It's also trying to help clarify the organization's role as part of a larger production pro feminist multiracial intergenerational cross class climate movement And developing our practices and policy towards becoming an antiracist organization And what that means more specifically is coming to terms internally and externally with the history of the environmental movement And trying to ensure that moving forward we really employ under a sexual analysis about how we view the environment That we develop a holistic analysis that both incorporates ecosystems and human communities impacted first and worse by environmental degradation and climate change That we center those communities and that we're making efforts to educate both our base and our funders about the need to support that work So I think there's been a growing awareness really of some of the racist roots of the environmental movement and the connection between this sort of white nationalist white supremacy and environmentalism overlap Could you just explain that a bit more for people who maybe aren't familiar with the history and what it looks like right now Well some of the founding members of the conservation environmental movement were also some of the founding members and leading voices in eugenics movement And as we know the eugenics movement was very pernicious ideology that posed a hierarchy of racialized hierarchy were white folks were at the top and anyone else below that in the dark you were along the color spectrum the less human you were almost And so that idea is permeated through the environmental movement and led to such things as blaming immigrants for a certain level of environmental degradation right So we need to understand that as a part of our origins our foundations of the environmental movement come out of this And so not understanding that foundation makes it difficult for environmentalists to understand these dog whistles when they're spoken about and it makes it very difficult for them to separate what might be an eco fascist environmental message and what might be a holistic intersectional environmental message And we need to be able to continue to educate our base about some of these ideas and some of these groups were pushing these things so that when we're out in the battle of the ideas for the narrative over a particular issue that our base is able to identify these specific messages that are coming from very racist places Why is it important for majority white organizations like the Sierra club to do this work of self examination facing that legacy that the harm that may have resulted from years decades of work stemming from these roots The Sierra club has a valuable role to play as part of a multi racial intergenerational cross class antiracist movement like I mentioned before And primarily that role is to undermine white support for white supremacy Black folks along with black and indigenous and people of color communities have been calling for a long time for majority white organizations like the Sarah club to step up to work for decades On the Sierra club has an open invitation from those communities to support solutions that marry the fight and white supremacy and the fight for livable planet Those two things are inextricably linked You know like the indigenous environmental networks call to keep fossil fuels in the ground or the move for black glass call for reparations to be included in policy approaches like the Green New Deal As you do this work do you find that there's a somewhat of a catch 22 where people of color are less interested in joining or being part of an organization where they don't see a lot of other people of color either in leadership or even in the membership Yeah I think that that is true And personally and professionally as I bring it to the Sierra club I see.

If Only We Investigated Russia's Funding of US Anti-Fossil Fuel Groups
"Cool controls Joe Biden. He's a prisoner of many different groups. He's a prisoner of the teacher unions. He's a prisoner of Pfizer, AstraZeneca, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson. Every decision that this administration makes is because of an order given by a group that either helped get him into office that helped implement him into office or that is currently giving him cover fire or is a backbone of the Democrat regime. Well, let's read what one of his, let's say, wardens, believe in because he's a prisoner of somebody. You go to Greenpeace dot org. It says real zero. What is hashtag real zero? Great question Greenpeace writes, first let's start out with net zero a term you've probably heard before. Burn now pay later. Nations of the world pledged in 2015 Paris climate agreement to collectively achieve net zero carbon emissions, globally by 2050. Climate scientists say we must hit net zero to avoid climate catastrophe. It's a goal we should all support. The term net zero is also being exploited by governments and corporations who are using it as smoke screen to keep burning phosphor fuel fossil fuels via a loophole called carbon offset credits. So instead, they want real zero, not net zero. The only way out of the climate crisis is to get to net zero. Real zero equals net zero minus offsets. It means reducing and stopping all carbon emissions before they are put into the atmosphere. It means full speed ahead to a transformation of our energy and transport systems to 100% renewable sources. This is Greenpeace dot org. No more fossil fuel burning, no offsetting scams. This is the website you can see it for yourself. It's Greenpeace dot org. Sierra club is very similar. Now again, we've gone through in great detail, the evidence that shows that Russia has been funding green energy groups. We should be having criminal investigations into how Russia has been covertly funding of these anti fossil fuel groups, the hill dot com calls for this. Investigate Russia's covert funding of U.S. anti fossil fuel groups makes you wonder how successful the green energy groups would have been, the last couple years, if our government actually spent time investigating legitimate Russian collusion instead of whether or not Donald Trump had any sort of ties to the Russian Kremlin, which of course he didn't.

Guess Who Is Funding American Green Energy Advocacy Groups?
"The peace card is on the table. And Joe Biden refuses to use it. The federalist dot com writes, stop letting environmental groups funded by Russia dictate America's energy policy. It's an open secret that Russians have funded anti fracking and anti natural gas propaganda in America for decades. A congressional investigation in 2017 found that the NRDC, the Sierra club, and climate action network were all found to have received millions of dollars in funding and grants from a shady San Francisco based group called sea change that a money trail linked back to Russians. Indeed, it is an open secret. I'm reading from Samantha dravis terrific article on Samantha dravis. She's phenomenal. She served in the Trump administration. She's great. And it's an open secret in America for decades, environmental groups have funded the campaigns of Democrats and pressured them to ban fossil fuels. These same environmental groups relentlessly attack president Trump as anti science and enemies of the EPA. So we have Russian funded green groups that have captured the entire White House. Now we would call that Russian collusion, but that just sounds a little bit too cliche.

"So all of these subjective components can be completely they're just not equal and challenging challenges to other people. So not everybody will view those subjective aspects in the same way, which implies the problem for easily rating a trail that can be applicable to everybody that can be non subjective without throwing like a mathematical formula in there. And that's kind of that's kind of a big problem. So how do you do you bring subjectivity into a formula? Do you take it out entirely and leave that then to the decision of the hiker? Well, the problem is is that people are doing research off a reviews. And that can be really tricky. Because you're not comparing apples to apples. You're comparing apples to oranges to bananas to lemons to, you know, you're not comparing the same, you know, if someone writes a review and the other thing too, that these ratings trail ratings, you know, like easy, moderate, difficult strenuous. Well, anybody can put a rating system on an app or on a website, that's easy to do. How I could do it. You know, that's easy to do. So now you have rating systems where people are rating it difficult strenuous. Based on based on their perspective and so that has that has no way shape or form even parallel trading or the Sierra club rating system. So if and I think that is one of the issues I wish that at these all these apps and all these websites would take the ability to write how difficult the trail is because that is a false sense of security there.

"Alliance. And the Colorado chapter of the Sierra Club doesn't like oil and gas, apparently. So they decided that they were going to protest against the Western energy alliance that was having Golf outing earlier this week. And the way they did it. Was to fly an airplane. Over. The Western Energy Alliance is golf outing. And then they sent out a tweet about their protest. But but then, But then they deleted the tweet after a bunch of people pointed out to them. That they were pro testing fossil fuels by using an airplane that requires fossil fuels to fly around and so Oh, my gosh. And so, uh, now, actually when, when you go to the Sierra Club, Colorado Sierra Club's Twitter feed where they used to have that tweet of their their protests over the oil and gas groups event that tweet has been deleted. You know, this is the thing. When you're just so mindless and moronic that your goal in life is to end the production of the substances that made modern, convenient, comfortable life possible. Well, your brain dead enough that you won't realize your own hypocrisy. Right? You're you're Fighting against The things that let people drive to work and cook their food and heat their homes or cool their homes. Do this this time of year. And you know all these things, get on an airplane and take a vacation. You hate all of those things. And so when you're When your cult is as disconnected from reality as you must be to be part of a group like, you know, Sierra Club or or their worst groups in Sierra Club. There are parts of Sierra Club that, you know, care about the environment and, you know, making sure that the mountains are lakes and rivers are clean and stuff like that, but the real cultish part of these groups where there's against fossil fuels. There. There's so moron IQ and anybody anybody who is part of a group whose goal is to eliminate the use of fossil fuels. They should really They should really be ashamed of themselves right and they should be ridiculed at every turn, and I'm saying Even if it's your aunt, you know you should ridicule her about this until they stop and don't back down. And don't let them say Oh, you don't care about the planet like the bottom line. Is this these environmentalists? They don't really care about the planet. They just hate people. Pretty much. That's what it's about. They hate people because otherwise they wouldn't want to make it impossibly expensive for you to have a job or cook your food or heat your home. Um, but, uh, those people those lunatics are are in charge. Right now. In Washington, D C. You will recall that one of the first things That Grandpa Joe did was to cancel the federal permit for the Keystone XL pipeline. Now the Keystone XL pipeline would take oil from the Alberta oil sands. And route it via this pipeline to places mostly in the southern US where it would be refined into products that we would use gasoline for our cars in oil for other things in yada, yada yada now it's not like Without this pipeline. They're not going to produce the oil instead of what will happen is they will produce the oil and it will just be transported in ways that are more dangerous and also create more pollution. Through the forms of transportation. And then it will, uh, to some degree, especially to the degree that they end up sending in any of it overseas. It will be refined. In ways that also use more energy for the refining and create more pollution in the process of refining because America has very efficient Refiners. If they end up sending a bunch of this to China, China is going to refine. In a way it's going to put a lot more pollution into the air. By the way, I'm not talking about carbon as pollution. Carbon is not pollution. It's plant food. I'm talking about real pollution particulate matters and sulfates and all that stuff. And, of course, the transportation. When you kill the pipeline, you're going to have to transport that the oil by trucking by train. And those have quite high risks of accidents and big spills. And all that, anyway, the reason I mentioned all this after, uh Grandpa Joe, who does Seem like, you know, he might be a candidate for the new Alzheimer's drug. Not that the new Alzheimer's drug, not that we know that it works. But you know, he and his wife made like 16, or $17 million after leaving the White House from speaking fees, and I think she wrote a book and that sort of thing so You know they could They could try the new drug. See? See if it would help him anyway. The company That Is behind. Keystone Exhale used to be called Trans Canada and now they're called TC energy. They announced yesterday that they are giving up. On the Keystone XL pipeline. They've decided to terminate the project, according to CNN business terminate after a comprehensive review of its options and consulting with the government of Alberta, Canada. The company said it would coordinate with regulators, stakeholders and indigenous groups to ensure a safe exit from the project. The cancellation ends more than a decade of controversy over the pipeline and marks a big win for environmentalists who argued the project threaten the environment and would only worsen the climate crisis. God these people are dumb. Just I know. Listen in My dad may be listening right now. And, Dad, If you're listening, you can text me and tell me my, uh My dad doesn't like it when I call people, dumb or stupid or something on the air. And yet I'm just These days. I'm just so Loss to come up with other words, you just stupid is such a understandable direct word. Everybody knows what it means. Yet we can come up with all kinds of other euphemisms for it.
