Climate Denier Steve Milloy Now Director at Coal Giant Murray Energy, On CPAC Global Warming Panel Today
|
7.3.2014 |
Green on HuffingtonPost.com |
| The Junkman has a new job, and yet again it involves defending fossil fuels and attacking science. Steve Milloy , who long ago dubbed himself "The Junkman," is listed as Director of External Policy & Strategy, Murray Energy Corporation , in a description of a global warming panel happening Thursday afternoon at the CPAC convention in Washington.
That means he’s now deploying his anti-science, climate denialist PR spin for the largest privately-held coal producer in the U.S., Ohio-based Murray Energy Corp.
Milloy apparently hasn’t bothered to update his online biography with this new title, and he didn’t respond to questions from DeSmogBlog about his exact start date. But it appears that he took the job with the coal company led by controversial conservative coal baron Robert Murray at some point last year. *Update : A Murray Energy spokesperson confirmed with DeSmog that Milloy began employment at the company on October 15, 2013. *

Judge Orders Duke Energy To Stop Groundwater Pollution At Coal Ash Dumps
|
6.3.2014 |
Green on HuffingtonPost.com |
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — A North Carolina judge says Duke Energy must take immediate action to eliminate the source of groundwater pollution at its coal ash dumps.
Wake County Judge Paul Ridgeway's ruling comes a month after a massive coal ash spill from a Duke facility in Eden coated 70 miles of the Dan River in toxic gray sludge. It stems from legal action taken by the Southern Environmental Law Center in 2012.
The group asked the Environmental Management Commission to force Duke to take immediate corrective action when groundwater problems were discovered at the state's 32 ash dumps.
But the commission ruled against the environmental group in December 2012 and they appealed the ruling.
The judge says state regulators failed to properly apply the law. |
