"The financial crisis highlights what environmental groups say are deep inadequacies in cleanup requirements for coal companies. Often, activists say, mining companies are simply given a pass after meeting the most rudimentary requirements to cover up open pits with dirt and rock. Some environmental groups are pressing for legislation requiring 'contemporaneous reclamation' — forcing mining companies to clean up after each phase of mining rather than waiting for the entire project to be completed."
A wave of bankruptcies stokes concern that taxpayers will end up paying billions of dollars to clean up after major mining companies

These Light-Up #Fishing Nets Could Save Sea #Turtles - New research shows attaching LED lights to fishing nets can keep turtles from becoming accidentally entangled - One of the many threats facing sea turtles, all species of which are categorized as threatened, is net fishing. Turtles can unwittingly become scooped up in fishing nets as bycatch. Now, a team of scientists at the University of Exeter has discovered that attaching green LED lights to nets used by small-scale fisherman can reduce the number of green sea turtle deaths by 64 percent. The lights don’t seem to affect the number of fish caught, which means the intervention is less likely to be rejected by fisheries.

The panel was moderated by Nuala O’Connor, the president of the Center for Democracy & Technology.
“When you collect everything, you understand nothing,” Snowden said, discussing intelligence failures in Belgium. “You’re blinded by the noise.”

The ‘Game-Changer’ of #Energy - Danish researchers at the University of Copenhagen discovered a new source of energy that comes from a reversed #photosynthesis process, obtaining usable biofuel and plastic from the resulting product of the transformation of plant biomass using sunlight. The reversed photosynthesis is a process where biomass is combined with an enzyme called lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase, this is mixed with chlorophyll and then it is exposed to sunlight, which is collected by this molecule, being the same molecule used in regular photosynthesis, and then the energy of the sun is used to break down the molecules in the biomass into smaller components, lastly producing fuels and chemicals.

"In 1971, when tobacco lawyer Lewis Powell penned his infamous memo to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, he not only called upon the national Chamber to unify and strengthen corporate power in U.S. politics, he also identified other untapped potential for his corporate coup.
“Also,” the soon-to-be Nixon nominee to the Supreme Court noted in his memo, “and this is of immeasurable merit — there are hundreds of local Chambers of Commerce which can play a vital supportive role.”
Forty-five years later, many state and local chambers are doing just that: supporting a policy agenda set by the U.S. Chamber and its biggest bankrollers to the detriment of the deep economic concerns of local communities that sustain state businesses."

A westerner's antipathy to Islam need not be "islamophobia".
A westerner viewing Islam is simply viewing Abrahamism without the blinkers of indoctrination that fools most people into thinking the other Abrahamic sects (Judaism and Christianity) are somehow "nice".
Islam is theologically bang in the middle of Judaism and Christianity: so if you have antipathy to Islam, the average Abrahamism, logically you should have antipathy to at LEAST one of the other, more extreme, sects.
The west would be far better off if it viewed all Abrahamic sects with the same objectivity. "A plague on all your houses" would be the rational assessment.

Disgraceful BBC Panorama Propaganda Hides Grim Truth About Britain
Criag Murray
Richard Bilton of the BBC today exposed himself as the most corrupt and bankrupt of state media shills – while pretending to be fronting an expose of corruption. There could not be a more perfect example of the western state and corporate media pretending to reveal the Panama leak data while actually engaging in pure misdirection.
In a BBC Panorama documentary entitled Tax Havens of the Rich and Powerful Exposed, they actually did precisely the opposite. The BBC related at length the stories of the money laundering companies of the Icelandic PM and Putin’s alleged cellist. The impression was definitely given and reinforced that these companies were in Panama.
Richard Bilton deliberately suppressed the information that all the companies involved were in fact not Panamanian but in the corrupt British colony of the British Virgin Islands. At no stage did Bilton even mention the British Virgin Islands.
