The Raw Story
The Garden of Eden,
a small organic farm in Arlington, Texas, was the target of a massive
police raid that included aerial surveillance during a 10-hour SWAT
raid, which resulted in residents being held inside at Gunpoint for a
half-hour and blueberries being confiscated.

Documents
recently obtained from the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety
Administration (PHMSA), the federal regulatory agency tasked with
overseeing and inspecting millions of
miles of pipelines across the US, show that the Keystone XL Gulf Coast
Project has not been adequately inspected.

Truthout
Injustice:
As BP Refuses to Pay Remaining Gulf Oil Claims, US Restores Its
Privileges - Today’s announcement lets a corporate felon and repeat
offender off the hook for its crimes against people and the environment.
This is a company that was on criminal probation at the time of the
2010 Deepwater Horizon disaster, and it has failed to prove that it is a
responsible contractor deserving of lucrative taxpayer deals.
U.S.
Agrees to Allow BP Back Into Gulf Waters to Seek Oil - Critics of the
agreement noted that nearly four years after the spill, the cleanup has
not been completed. Oil still washes up in places, particularly during
storms, as happened in October with Tropical Storm Karen. “They still
haven’t really made it right when it comes to the gulf,” Mr. Hoke said.
Public Citizen, a consumer activist group, also expressed outrage,
saying in a statement that the settlement “lets a corporate felon and
repeat offender off the hook for its crimes against people and the
environment.”
Under
the agreement, BP will be allowed to bid for new leases as early as
next Wednesday, but only as long as the company passes muster on ethics,
corporate governance and safety procedures.

We
Spent the Day Finding Tons of BP Oil on Florida Beaches - BP was
recently ordered by a federal appeals court to honor its Settlement
Agreement. The company has made multiple attempts to halt payments to
businesses and residents recovering money for economic losses related to
the company’s 2010 spill. BP has been trying to shirk claim
accountability by complaining that it is being forced to pay inflated
claims. “It is ironic that BP talks about people ‘getting something for
nothing’ when that’s exactly what BP is trying to do,” commented Brian
Barr, an attorney with Levin, Papantonio and a member of the Plaintiff’s
Steering Committee for the BP Gulf Coast Oil Spill litigation
On February 28, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection removed an...

"The
EPA’s condition of the retention of an independent auditor to ensure
the company complies as a responsible contractor is inadequate
protection for taxpayers. While we applaud the EPA for initiating the
ban, it is premature to end it. BP has failed to demonstrate that the
corporate culture that allowed the Alaskan pipeline spill, the Texas
City refinery explosion, the propane market manipulation and the Gulf
Coast tragedy has changed." ~ Public Citizen
New
documents confirm what activists have long charged: the North Carolina
authorities tasked with regulating Duke Energy — the company responsible
for the Dan River coal ash disaster — have been colluding with the
corporation behind closed doors to undermine concerned environmental
groups.

Do You Live Within 50 Miles of a Nuclear Power Plant?
A new interactive map tells you exactly how far you live from a nuclear reactor - This is where a new nuclear proximity interactive map by Esri (one of their many cool disaster response maps) comes in handy. Scroll around to see the 65 active nuclear plants scattered across the U.S. surrounded by 10-mile (red) and 50-mile (yellow) radiuses, or plug in your address to get the exact distance you are from the nearest few plants. (Smithsonian.com's office, in case you're wondering, is 44.18 miles from the Calvert Cliffs plant in southern Maryland.) You can also turn on layers that show the locations of historic earthquakes and fault lines.

Solar
power cheaper than natural gas, coal, and nuclear power in Texas! From
a wind power plant, the estimate was 2.8¢/kWh to 3.8¢/kWh. However,
there's something to highlight regarding solar power. Electricity
markets work by the same supply and demand principles as other markets
(to an extent). As supply goes up, electricity price falls. And as
demand goes up, electricity price rises. Electricity demand (especially
in the South) is greatest around the middle of the day, which makes
electricity prices highest at that time. The fact that solar, which
produces electricity at these peak demand times, is available for 5¢/kWh
is pretty huge.
Austin Energy is set to buy electricity from a solar power plant cheaper than it could have gotten...

Big Oil In Alberta Classrooms
The province of Alberta has recently released a development plan for public schools that enlists Suncor Energy and Syncrude Canada in the creation of future Kindergarten to grade three curriculum. Oil giant Cenovus will partner in developing curriculum for grades four to 12.

Florida
State Attorney Angela Corey has a history of unjustly and excessively
punishing Black defendants. Now, she is shamelessly trying to send
Marissa Alexander, a domestic violence survivor and Black mother of
three, to prison for the rest of her life for firing a warning shot in
self-defense of her abusive husband.
It is wildly inhumane and completely unacceptable. With Florida's up and coming gubernatorial elections, we need to make sure that justice for Marissa is a priority. Please share and join us in calling on FL Gov. Rick Scott to suspend Angela Corey and condemn the charges brought against Marissa.

"There
has been a great hue and cry by the USA, Ukraine and other countries
about the supposed illegality of the proposed referendum by Crimea on
its future political status. They indignantly proclaim that this is a
violation of international law.
Amazingly, have Obama and the leaders of these other countries never heard of the situation in Canada with regard to Quebec? Quebec, as a province of Canada, has held two referenda (1980 and 1995) on the matter of independence from Canada . . . and a third referendum may be in the works in the near future.

Quebec, as a province of Canada, has held two referenda (1980 and 1995) on the matter of independence from Canada . . . and a third referendum may be in the works in the near future.
Quebec never had to get permission from Canada’s federal government to
hold a referendum, and no one ever questioned the legality of Quebec’s
referendum.
Crimea is an autonomous region within Ukraine and seems to have the same rights as a Canadian province. So if it is perfectly legal for a province such as Quebec to hold a referendum on independence, why would it not be legal for Crimea to do the same? At no time did the USA object to Quebec holding a referendum on independence, so why the big brouhaha over Crimea? Moreover, what business would it be for the USA to have such objections – for Quebec or Crimea?
The UN charter gives people the right to self-determination and by virtue of that right they are free to determine their political status. Quebec in Canada has exercised that right, and there should be no reason why Crimea could not do the same."
