California holds public meetings on proposed Kern County power plant

Nov 11 (Reuters) – California regulators will hold two meetings open to the public on Nov. 13 and Nov. 20 to discuss greenhouse gas emission issues with SCS Energy’s proposed Hydrogen Energy California coal and petroleum coke-fueled carbon capture and storage project.

The California Energy Commission said on Friday the meetings will enable its staff and others to discuss issues it has found with the $ 4 billion plant’s proposed carbon sequestration and greenhouse gas emissions.

The facility, which U.S. environmental regulators have pointed to in proposed rules limiting carbon emissions from new power plants, will use an integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) system to turn coal or petroleum coke into a synthetic gas that will produce and sell electricity, carbon dioxide, and fertilizer.

Commission staff and SCS, a privately held U.S. power plant developer, disagree over how the project should be evaluated for compliance with Senate Bill 1368, which limits long-term investments in baseload generation by the state’s utilities in power plants that produce too much carbon dioxide emissions, the commission said.

The Commission said the meetings are an effort to determine if its staff and SCS can resolve their differences.

The staff released its preliminary environmental assessment on June 28.

That assessment is not a final decision by the Commission, but will be used to prepare the staff’s final assessment, which California’s Energy Department will use to decide if the state will award SCS funding for the project.

The final staff report will also serve as its testimony at hearings conducted by a Commission committee reviewing the project. The decision of that committee will be presented to the full Commission for final action.

SCS proposed to build the plant on 1,106 acres of private agricultural land in the town of Tupman in Kern County about 115 miles (188 km) north of Los Angeles near Bakersfield.

The plant would gasify coal and petroleum coke to produce synthesis gas used to generate up to 431 megawatts of electricity.

The project would also produce and sell urea fertilizer and other nitrogenous compounds and capture about 90 percent of the carbon dioxide produced. It would transport the gas by pipeline for use at the Elk Hills oil field. Occidental Petroleum Corp owns the Elk Hills oil field, located near the plant site.

SCS has projected construction will start in 2014 with commercial operation in 2018, the commission said. That schedule is dependent on receiving the required approvals from the Commission and the Energy Department.

The project is expected to create an average 1,160 construction jobs to build the plant and 200 full-time workers once the facility enters service, SCS has said.

FEMA evaluating county response to Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant emergency

Beginning this week, the Federal Emergency Management Agency is evaluating state and local emergency planning and preparedness agencies’ abilities to respond to an emergency at Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant in Lusby.

“These drills are held every other year to test government’s ability to protect public health and safety,” MaryAnn Tierney, regional administrator for FEMA Region III, said in a FEMA news release. “We will evaluate state and local emergency response capabilities within the 10-mile emergency-planning zone of the nuclear facility.”  

This exercise is part of FEMA’s Radiological Emergency Preparedness program, which ensures the health and safety of citizens living around commercial nuclear power plants is adequately protected in the event of a nuclear accident, according to the release. The program, however, only covers off-site activities, such as state and local emergency planning and preparedness, the release states.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission is responsible for activities within the nuclear power plant’s boundaries.

Within 90 days, FEMA will send its evaluation to the NRC for licensing decisions, and about 120 days after the exercise, the final report will be available to the public, the release states.

At 11 a.m. Friday, Oct. 25, FEMA will present its preliminary findings of the emergency preparedness exercise during a public meeting at the Sheraton of Annapolis, 173 Jennifer Road, Annapolis. Speakers include representatives from FEMA, the NRC and the state.

At the meeting, FEMA may request questions and/or comments be submitted in writing for review and response by emailing FEMAR3NewsDesk@fema.dhs.gov or by mail to MaryAnn Tierney, Regional Administrator, FEMA Region III, 615 Chestnut St., 6th floor, Philadelphia, PA 19106.

The daily lowdown on books, publishing, and the occasional author behaving badly.

• On Wednesday evening, the Randolph County school board in North Carolina voted 6 to 1 to retract its ban on Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man at school libraries. In the days after the board took the classic novel about race and identity off library shelves in response to a parent complaint, the decision has drawn fierce criticism and national scrutiny. Vintage, the book’s publisher, donated copies to a nearby bookstore to be given away for free to students, and waiting lists for the book grew at local libraries and bookstores. Board member Gary Cook told the Los Angeles Times, “We may have been hammered on this and we may have made a mistake, but at least we’re big enough to admit it.”


• David Gilmour, a Canadian professor currently longlisted for Canada’s most important literary prize, drew criticism Wednesday for an interview with Random House’s Hazlitt blog in which he said, “I’m not interested in teaching books by women. Virginia Woolf is the only writer that interests me as a woman writer, so I do teach one of her short stories. … [W]hen I was given this job I said I would only teach the people that I truly, truly love. Unfortunately, none of those happen to be Chinese, or women. … What I teach is guys. Serious heterosexual guys. F. Scott Fitzgerald, Chekhov, Tolstoy. Real guy-guys. Henry Miller. Philip Roth.” Following a backlash on Twitter and elsewhere, Gilmour apologized, saying, “I was having a conversation, in French, with a colleague while this young woman was doing this interview. So these were very much tossed-off remarks.”


• Meanwhile, at The Nation, the excellent Roxane Gay (who was recently featured on NPR’s Code Switch blog) considers the category of the “black woman writer”: “Women writers and writers of color don’t really have the luxury of being known simply as writers. There’s always a qualification.”


• George Saunders spoke to the Story Prize’s blog about his worst-ever story idea: “I wrote an unreadable 700-page book based loosely (not loosely enough, apparently) on a friend’s wedding in Mexico, which was called ‘La Boda de Eduardo,’ which I think translates as ‘Ed’s Wedding.’ So that would probably be it. The wit of the title says it all.”

Calif. County Votes For Secession From State

Supervisors in a far Northern California county where residents are fed up with what they see as a lack of representation at the state capitol and overregulation have voted in favor of separating from the state.

The Siskiyou County Board of Supervisors voted 4-1 on Tuesday for a declaration of secession, the Record Searchlight of Redding reported (http://bit.ly/1cFTqUG ). The vote appears mostly symbolic since secession would require approval from the state Legislature and the U.S. Congress, but supporters say it would restore local control over decision making. They want other rural counties in Northern California and Southern Oregon to join them in the creation of a new state called the State of Jefferson.

“Many proposed laws are unconstitutional and deny us our God-given rights,” Gabe Garrison of Happy Camp said at the meeting. “We need our own state so we can make laws that fit our way of life.”

Garrison was among more than 100 people who attended the meeting, and most were in support of the declaration, according to the Record Searchlight.

The declaration does not launch any type of formal process toward secession, but only reflects the county’s support, said Tom Odom, the county’s administrative officer.

Another Travis County, Texas Democrat Charged with DWI

Will this prosecutor remain above the law just like his boss?

Julie Wilson
Infowars.com
August 13, 2013

Travis County prosecutor Brandon Grunewald, 33, was charged with driving while intoxicated over the weekend after he rear ended another vehicle, reports KXAN.

Grunewald was traveling southbound in his 2008 Land Rover on an Austin highway Sunday afternoon when he reportedly collided with a Mini Cooper after it came to a stop.

Public affidavits reveal the officer who responded to the wreck observed Grunewald to have bloodshot watery eyes and smelled strongly of alcohol. The officer also observed Grunewald having difficulty balancing and seemed “confused.”

Grunewald declined to take a breath test and also refused a field-sobriety test. His alcohol level at the time is currently unknown.

Grunewald was booked into the Travis County Jail Sunday afternoon but was later released when he posted bond, which was set at $ 3,500. Records show he was also ordered to immediately install an ignition lock on his vehicle that prohibits drinking and driving.

KHOU reports, last March Grunewald prosecuted Charles Roberts Jr., 24, who was “chased by police and crashed into a bus stop” killing 41-year old Rondal Lynn Brooks.

“Roberts was sentenced to 25-years in prison, however Grunewald asked that he get a 34-year sentence,” reports the American-Statesman.

Grunewald has been employed with the DA’s office since August 2006 and received a yearly salary of $ 83,424.

Grunewald’s boss, Travis County District Attorney (DA) Rosemary Lehmberg, was arrested for driving while intoxicated in April when another driver reported her for “driving about a mile in the bike lane” and also for “swerving and veering into oncoming traffic.”

Police discovered an open bottle of vodka in the front seat of Lehmberg’s vehicle.

The dash cam video shows Lehmberg looking disheveled and stumbling about while the officer instructs her to complete a field-sobriety test. The DA stands with her arms crossed, appearing visibly upset as she tells officers that they are going to “take her to jail” and “ruin her career.”

Lehmberg was eventually booked into jail and because of her unwillingness to cooperate, was “restrained with handcuffs and leg irons” and forced to submit to a blood draw. Her blood alcohol level was nearly three times the legal limit, .239. She plead guilty to the charges and received a 45 day jail sentence (however only served 22 days), a $ 4,000 fine and a 180-day license suspension under a plea agreement.

Since her arrest, multiple petitions have been filed against the DA in an attempt to remove Lehmberg from office, including one by Rick Reed, who ran against her in 2008. The petition cites “16 counts of official misconduct ranging from coercion of a public servant to retaliation.”

A separate petition was filed to remove her from office “on grounds of intoxication” under which state law allows the removal of a DA on grounds of “incompetency, official misconduct and intoxication on or off duty.”

A report by My Fox Austin disclosed that even the Travis County Commissioner called for Lehmberg’s resignation, however she refused and is still holding office to this day.

In an attempt to save face and “reimburse the public,” Lehmberg announced in late June that she planned to donate the salary she earned in jail to Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD).

She earned a total of $ 13,358 during her stay in the Travis County Jail.

In regard to Lehmberg’s employee, Grunewald, she said, “It’s a first offense DWI and I don’t know what will happen until I have all the facts. I have never terminated an employee for a first offense DWI and we have had employees with first offense DWI up and down the ranks.”

However, KVUE News learned “Frank Dixon and Cynthia Bell with the Travis County DA’s office were fired for DWI offenses.” The report also revealed a victim witness counselor was fired after a DWI offense.

The DA wasted no time in defending the Travis County prosecutor in saying, “He’s a good lawyer and a good man. He told me he’s terribly sorry for what happened.”

This is yet another example of officials being held above the law, in this case most notably Democrats, since they are the political party in power serving a blue city within a red state.

This is further affirmation that political affiliations trump state law and its penalties which are seemingly put into place for the peasants, meanwhile the royals go right back to business as usual.

Another Travis County, Texas Democrat Charged with DWI

San Diego County Sues to Revive California"s Gay-Marriage Ban

San Diego County Clerk Ernest Dronenburg sued to block a state directive ordering him to issue marriage licenses to gay couples, saying California’s Proposition 8 marriage ban is still valid.

Governor Jerry Brown and Attorney General Kamala Harris, both Democrats, don’t have supervisory control over county clerks and a San Francisco federal judge’s 2010 ruling that Proposition 8 is unconstitutional doesn’t apply to Dronenburg, according to a petition filed with the California Supreme Court today.

“On the one hand, respondents have ordered him not to enforce state law and are threatening to punish him if he does not comply with that order,” Dronenburg’s lawyers said in a court filing. “On the other hand, petitioner has an independent statutory obligation to enforce California law defining marriage as a union of a man and a woman.”

Dronenburg asked for an immediate injunction blocking the directive and letting him refuse to issue gay couples marriage licenses until the lawsuit is decided.

“The filing offers no new arguments that could deny same- sex couples their constitutionally protected civil rights,” Harris said in a statement. “The federal injunction is still in effect, and it requires all 58 counties to perform same-sex marriages. No exceptions.”
