“I offer a modest counter proposal: Require all regulatory agencies to provide Scope 1, 2, and 3 disclosures for their day-to-day operations and for all proposed regulatory changes and to make those disclosures public.“
On March 21 of this year, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued a press release announcing:
proposed rule changes that would require registrants to include certain climate-related disclosures in their registration statements and periodic reports, including information about climate-related risks that are reasonably likely to have a material impact on their business, results of operations, or financial condition, and certain climate-related financial statement metrics in a note to their audited financial statements.
Required information would include Scope 1, 2, and 3 emission disclosures, which (respectively) cover a company’s own greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions; emissions by the company’s energy provider(s); and emissions by the company’s suppliers, employees, and customers.…

Hundreds of wind and solar projects in the U.S. have been delayed or blocked by effective grassroots opposition, according to Robert Bryce. Real environmentalists, the keepers of rural life, have every reason to complain against the government-enabled intrusion into their quiet lives: noise, flicker light, land degradation, lowered property values.
MasterResource has previously reported on the growing anti-wind zoning ordinance movement against industrial wind; the “avian mortality’ problem; and the on-the-ground work by such environmentalists as Kevon Martis; and the negative health effects. Solar projects are also attracting serious local opposition.
Add Larissa Plagge of Environmentalists Against Wind Turbines to the list of determined opponents of industrial wind.…
