Middleboro Review and so on

  WE DEPEND ON A FULLY STAFFED, FUNCTIONAL NATIONAL WEATHER  SERVICE TO MAKE DECISIONS.....IT PROTECTS LIVES! There is a storm coming and it could get really bad… ⛈️☔ Donald Trump has left the  National Weather Service  extremely short-handed due to last year’s staff cuts, just as we approach a brutal storm season. We are seeing the direct consequences of those cuts right now. These jobs are meant for public servants who are dedicated to keeping us safe, but it's clear Trump just doesn’t care. Let’s face it: our federal workers and their families have faced the brunt of Trump’s attacks ever since his first day in office. He has purged scientists, biologists, chemists, and climate experts — especially targeting anyone who acknowledges the reality of climate change. Those who survived the layoffs are now left with the extraordinary burden of filling the gaps while navigating the chaos and systemic problems left behind. Public service is often a thankless job. We must d...

  SHARED FOR INFORMATION AND EDUCATION ABOUT TRUMP'S  ILLEGAL TACTICS  TO STOP RENEWABLES AND CLEAN ENERGY!  CLEAN RENEWABLE ENERGY IS CHEAPER THAN DIRTY FOSSIL  FUELS! I have some truly alarming news to share. The Trump administration has just authorized nearly $2 billion in taxpayer money for a shocking purpose: to kill three American offshore wind projects. Trump is essentially paying energy companies to walk away from renewable energy using your hard-earned tax dollars. The catch? To receive the money, they must reinvest it in fossil fuels. This is corruption — plain and simple. Our SEEC Members are fighting back.   Rep. Jared Huffman  (the top Democrat on the House Natural Resources Committee) and  Rep. Jamie Raskin  (the ranking Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee) have formally opened a Congressional investigation into these "deals." Will you donate now to help us fight back against this corruption, protect offshore wind, and hol...

  It’s official: Donald Trump has signed the bill overturning a 20-year ban on toxic mining near the Boundary Waters — the most visited wilderness in America. But this fight is not over! This is just the beginning. It will now start a permitting process that could be deeply and permanently detrimental to the future of the Boundary Waters. It’s also a reminder that every election matters. Hope is not entirely lost, though. Our SEEC Members will continue fighting back during the extensive permitting process and holding the Trump Administration accountable — because we know Republicans won’t. That’s why we need Democrats in those seats and especially more climate champions in Congress to take back the House this year. Will you please rush in a donation right now to help us continue fighting to protect the Boundary Waters today?

SHARING TO INFORM AND EDUCATE ABOUT IMPORTANT ENERGY SOLUTIONS!  TRUMP WALLOWS IN DIRTY FOSSIL FUEL $$$ AND IGNORES INEXPENSIVE  SOLUTIONS! GATHER FACTS - NOT DISINFORMATION AND LIES! CHINA IS SELLING INEXPENSIVE SOLAR KITS WITH BATTERY BACKUP THAT ARE  IDEAL FOR POOR NATIONS....BEING USED IN EUROPE...OPPOSED IN THE U.S.!  CHINA HAS FOCUSED ON HIGH SPEED RAIL AND UPGRADED THEIR POWER  TRANSMISSION LINES....CHINA IS LEADING THE WORLD IN REDUCING THEIR  ENERGY CONSUMPTION AND IMPROVING THEIR ENVIRONMENT WHILE THE  U.S. IS LAGGING BEHIND!  THE OFFSHORE WIND PROJECTS THAT TRUMP CANCELLED WILL POWER  + 1 MILLION HOMES!  MASSACHUSETTS BUILDING CODES NOW MANDATE LEDs and numerous other  energy efficient applications - WE CAN DO IT! WE WERE PURCHASING LEDs by the case for $1 EACH until TRUMP IMPOSED  TARIFFS! (WE REPLACED CFLs with LEDs.) TRUMP ELIMINATED THE ENERGY STAR RATINGS THAT ALLOWED US TO  PURCHASE THE MOST EFFICIENT APPL...

  The price of oil has skyrocketed over  $100 per barrel  because of Donald Trump’s war in Iran and gas prices have increased by nearly 20% overnight. This underscores a reality we’ve known all along: As long as we rely on global fossil fuels, our economy is at the mercy of foreign instability. We were told that transitioning from an oil and gas importer to a fossil fuel exporter would make us more energy independent. But it hasn’t. Domestic production doesn’t matter if we’re still tied to these extremely volatile global oil markets. Here’s the truth: The only path to energy independence is through the rapid development of more clean and renewable energy right here at home. By transitioning to a clean energy economy, we will lower our energy bills, secure our future, and finally end the cycle of “forever oil wars.” We must act now to build a more sustainable future and put Americans back in charge of our own destiny. Add your name to tell Donald Trump: No more forever oil...

  While the Trump administration’s “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE) claims to be cutting waste, the reality about what they are doing to our environment is far worse. They aren’t just trimming budgets: they are firing scientists and taking a wrecking ball to the agencies that keep us safe. It recently came to light that DOGE effectively muzzled a critical drilling watchdog in Alaska (which couldn’t come at a worse time as Trump is expanding oil drilling in the Arctic Refuge!) We need your help to fight back against these cuts to programs that protect our environment and keep us safe! Will you please rush in a donation right now to help our SEEC Members keep up the fight in Congress? This news comes after a top federal safety regulator for offshore drilling in Alaska issued a dire warning: his office lacks the staffing to oversee even existing oil and gas operations. This isn’t about efficiency. It’s about removing the "referees" so their allies in the fossil fuel ...

  I thought this was so ridiculous that I had to share: Donald Trump just announced the Department of the Interior has a new mascot: a giant lump of coal named “Coalie.” Are you kidding me? This isn’t a sports game, this is serious business. The truth is we need to transition AWAY from coal if we’re going to save our planet from climate change. This is just another example of Donald Trump showing that he doesn’t give a damn about our environment. Sign our petition to tell Trump to give it up: Coal is the energy of the past and we need to move towards a more sustainable energy future!

  Donald Trump’s EPA just made a major shift: they will no longer consider the lives saved from two of the most deadly air pollutants when setting air pollution limits. Isn’t that crazy? That means they don’t care if we’re breathing in toxic chemicals that cause asthma and other serious health conditions. They are rigging the game to let corporate polluters off the hook so they can continue pumping unlimited amounts of dirty pollution into the air. We cannot allow them to pollute the air we breathe and get away with it! Will you chip in now to help our climate champions fight back to protect our clean air in Congress? This new "Dirty Air Rule" is a blatant giveaway to some of the worst corporate polluters including coal-burning power plants, oil refineries, steel mills, and other industrial facilities. It will only result in more severe health issues, hospitalizations, and premature deaths. SEEC Members like Co-Chair Rep. Paul Tonko are leading the fight to protect the Clean ...

  Donald Trump loves to talk about how much he supports the coal industry. But he doesn’t love the coal miners who have kept this industry running. Across the country, miners are contracting black lung at younger and younger ages. Some regions are seeing rates as high as one in five workers! This disease is debilitating. It is deadly. And miners have begged the federal government to keep strong protections in place. But instead of protecting them, the Trump Administration is now considering rolling back black lung protections that miners themselves have begged them to keep in place. This is unacceptable! Will you chip in today to help SEEC Members fight these rollbacks and stand up for the miners whose lives are on the line? DONATE $10 » Trump’s effort to prop up a dying industry is coming at the expense of the very workers who have paid the price. He is willing to sacrifice people for profit. He is willing to put miners who have already spent decades in dangerous conditions at eve...
