SMITH SEEKS ANSWERS ON WHALE DEATHS: Rep. Chris Smith mistrusts the official line that the spike of whale deaths off the coast of his state of New Jersey has nothing to do with the construction of massive offshore wind farms, and he is seeking to slow down the effort.
“What I'm very troubled by, in every category of concern, whether it be the seabed itself, the habitat of ours, which is unbelievably robust, and all the other sea mammals–– fish, spawning, entire series of habitats––are going to be destroyed,” he said. A coalition of 30 mayors in coastal New Jersey have called for an immediate halt of offshore wind activity until an investigation can be completed, and hundreds of residents have staged recent protests over the high number of whale fatalities. Some environmental groups, too, have raised the alarm about the whales.
The senators warned in a letter to Emanuel that restrictions on public financing of gas infrastructure and regulations on privately financed projects threaten the ability of the U.S. to backfill the gas supply taken off the market by Russia. The train was not carrying any hazardous materials, according to Norfolk Southern, but the accident comes just weeks after another one of its trains derailed in East Palestine and leaked toxic materials into the air and water.
Still, he said reading the report “makes it clear that meaningful safety improvements require a comprehensive industry effort that brings together railcar and tank car manufacturers, railcar owners and lessors, and the railroad companies.” In February, Spanish authorities issued a reminder to shipping services that ship-to-ship transfers of Russian oil or of suspected Russian oil are prohibited, even in international waters. But beyond that, a spokesperson for Spain's Merchant Navy told Bloomberg they cannot regulate activity in international waters.
The proposed climate disclosure has generated months of intense backlash from industry, particularly over a Scope 3 emissions requirement that would require large companies to report certain data about carbon emissions generated by their massive supply chain networks and customers. “For many companies and sectors, a greenhouse gas inventory that omits Scope 3 would be materially misleading to investors,” they added.
