Mystery as British eco-explorer couple who were attempting to sail 2,005 miles from Nova Scotia to Azores in a Wind and Solar-Powered Yacht are found dead in a washed up Lifeboat a month after they were reported missing​


A couple who embarked on an eco-friendly voyage across the Atlantic were found dead in a lifeboat after seemingly being forced to abandon their yacht.

Brett Clibbery, 70, and British woman Sarah Justine Packwood, 54, were reported missing after setting off from Nova Scotia in Canada in their 42ft sailing boat Theros on June 11 - and were found last week in a washed-up liferaft.

The Theros was a wind and solar-powered vessel piloted by the pair to show how travel can be done without using fossil fuels. The pair also shared videos on their YouTube channel showing them driving across Canada in an electric car.

Well, I'll give 'em credit for 'putting their money where their mouth is'. They removed the diesel engine.


Of course that didn't work out so well for 'em.


RIP.

Congress Trump-proofed this $27B Climate Program. Here’s why that’s a problem.​


The Environmental Protection Agency is racing to deliver a fortune in taxpayer money through its largest-ever climate grant program.

The surge in spending aims to reshape impoverished areas of the U.S. by financing the installation of renewable energy and improving buildings’ energy efficiency. Congress commanded that the money go out quickly, setting a strict Sept. 30 deadline that would prevent a future Trump administration from clawing it back.


But the initiative has a shoestring operating budget, and the $27 billion program is now facing charges of empty oversight and potential waste — and the prospects of a Republican feeding frenzy over President Joe Biden’s climate law if the program stumbles.

Analysts say the quick pace of handing out such a staggering amount raises an overlooked risk: the possibility of mistakes. Out of all the programs authorized in the Inflation Reduction Act, this one has the smallest amount of money allotted to hire staff and track the spending.

The program, named the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, will steer the billions of dollars to state and local governments and nonprofit lending institutions, which then will filter the money to projects in low-income communities.

Low income communities? This sounds like some wealth redistribution scheme, not CC.

Of course it is. Dimwit politicians will get huge kickbacks for giving no-bid contracts to their friends and family members to go do next to nothing for 10x what any privately owned business would ever charge for the same services. Like installing a few solar panels per house for $20k per residence in the hood. Like all things Dimwit, it is simply another scam designed to funnel huge sums of money from taxpayers to liberal crooks.

They are pushing that very agenda here in Virginia. Can’t tell you how many ads I’ve seen and how many people come to my door about gov paid Solar panels.

Goldman Sachs Latest to Pull Out of Climate Alliance as political pressure mounts​


Goldman Sachs’ fund division is to leave investor engagement group Climate Action 100+, joining other financial services companies which have pulled out amid a political backlash in the US.

US members of global climate-focused coalitions have come under pressure as some Republican lawmakers have criticized them for potentially breaching antitrust rules by pushing companies to cut climate-damaging emissions.

At the end of July, the Republican leader of a congressional committee wrote to demand more than 130 investors explain their environmental, social and governance (ESG) goals.

A Goldman Sachs spokesperson said the fund division would leave the group and highlighted its ability to engage with companies on its own account.

NY Weighs Charging Oil Firms Billions Of Dollars To Fuel New Climate Change Fund​


Gov. Kathy Hochul will soon decide whether to approve a controversial bill that would force oil, natural-gas and coal companies to fork over billions of dollars to the state for contributing to climate change.

Backers liken the plan — the proposed Climate Change Superfund — to the federal Superfund program that has been trying to hold polluters responsible for abandoned toxic-waste sites for decades.

But critics claim that New York’s climate-change version — which passed both the Assembly and Senate in the spring — is unworkable, would only end up costing customers in the long run and will be tied up in the courts for years if approved.
