Point of no return

The text below, is prompted by the AV Press article, “State may tap fossil fuel plants,” published Friday, July 1, 2022. To avoid summer peak electrical power outages, the state may access power generated by some existing fossil fuel electrical generation power plants.

Setbacks are slowing the world’s progress to reduce Global Warming. The recent ruling by the US Supreme Court in relation to the authority of the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for establishing pollution levels for Electrical Generation plants is a major blow to Global Warming reduction.

If allowed to stand, this ruling allows any industry to request the Supreme Court to rule in favor of their complaint that a US regulatory agency is imposing constrains on their polluting processes.

With these constrains on the reduction of pollution reduction authority, the USA will not be able to keep pace with the rest of the world’s progress in reducing pollution.

The USA’s commitments made at various UN meetings for pollution reduction goals will not be met. As the Sec. General UN said, the USA will be complying with his statement, “humans are digging our own graves.”

We should not allow the path of greed and selfishness to sow the seeds of our common destruction.” These two statements says it all.

Not to be overshadowed, is the continuing Russian/ Ukraine war. All the above, are assuring the World to accelerate the pollution level, thus, accelerating to the warming level of the point of no return. Thus, condemning our Great Grandchildren to attempting to survive on a dying planet.
