The Environmental Protection Agency conducted more on-site inspections of polluting industrial sites this year than any time since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the agency said Monday as it seeks to reinvigorate its enforcement program after more than a decade of budget cuts. https://apnews.com/article/epa-enforcement-inspections-pandemic-environmental-justice-0c4898bbe21dc123f8636768b9e988f3 EPA opened nearly 200 criminal investigations this year, a 70% increase over 2022, the agency said in a report. It completed nearly 1,800 civil settlements, a 9% increase over 2022. More than half the inspections and settlements involved poor and disadvantaged communities long scarred by pollution, the agency said, reflecting the Biden administration’s emphasis on environmental justice issues. But some parts of EPA’s enforcement efforts still lag. In 2023, for example, it charged 102 defendants criminally. The Trump administration charged more every year, although most years only marginally. Nearly 200 defendants were charged in the latter years of the Obama administration. There is, however, an uptick in the number of criminal cases they’ve opened recently.
After years of decline, the Biden administration says environmental enforcement is on the upswing

The White House is lending its support to an auto industry effort to standardize Tesla’s electric vehicle charging plugs for all EVs in the United States, part of a broad effort to stimulate their sales to help combat climate change. More than 1 million EVs have been sold in the United States in 2023, a record, but that pace still lags behind sales in such countries as China and Germany. One key reason is that the limited availability of charging infrastructure across the country has been a widespread concern for many would-be buyers of EVs and has held back their sales in the United States. Tesla, the leader in the EV market, operates the largest network of fast-chargers. And many of its Supercharger stations are in prime locations along highly traveled corridors, where other charging stations are sparse. https://apnews.com/article/electric-vehicles-charging-stations-tesla-evs-standard-af724b489aa08388bbacec1735f8588e

The devastating incident in China's northeastern Heilongjiang province is yet another tragic reminder of the human cost associated with coal mining. Beyond the loss of lives in these horrific accidents, the use of coal perpetuates a broader cycle of destruction that impacts humanity and exacerbates climate change. Coal mining operations, like the one in Heilongjiang, not only pose immediate risks to the safety and lives of miners but also unleash environmental hazards. The release of pressure during mining can trigger catastrophic rock bursts, leading to fatal explosions. These incidents highlight the grave dangers inherent in extracting coal, dangers that affect not just the workers but also the communities around these mines. Moreover, this tragic event underscores the urgent need for enhanced safety measures and stricter adherence to regulations within the coal mining industry. The recurrence of such accidents, coupled with reports of safety violations, reflects the dire necessity for comprehensive reforms to protect the lives of miners. Beyond the immediate dangers, the use of coal as a primary energy source significantly contributes to climate change. The combustion of coal releases vast amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, exacerbating global warming and its associated environmental crises. As the world grapples with the imperative to transition to cleaner, more sustainable energy sources, these tragedies serve as poignant reminders of the inherent dangers and environmental toll of relying on coal. It's imperative that we collectively prioritize renewable energy alternatives to mitigate both the human and environmental costs associated with coal use. https://apnews.com/article/china-coal-mine-rock-explosion-deaths-heilongjiang-0b71045d9691baf1bf145ab8bc954ff1

Germany’s highest court on Wednesday annulled a government decision to repurpose 60 billion euros ($65 billion) originally meant to cushion the fallout from the coronavirus pandemic for measures to help combat climate change and modernize the country. The ruling created a significant new problem for Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s quarrelsome coalition. The money at stake was added retrospectively to the 2021 budget in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, under rules that allow new borrowing in emergencies despite Germany’s strict restrictions on running up debt. But it eventually wasn’t needed for that purpose, and the center-left Scholz’s three-party coalition decided in 2022 to put the money into the “climate and transformation fund,” arguing that investment in measures to protect the climate would help the economy recover from the pandemic. It hasn’t yet been used. https://apnews.com/article/germany-covid-climate-funding-court-a749380aa10a6b7c5e48af5234252592

The Illinois Senate approved lifting a 36-year-old moratorium on new nuclear power installments on Wednesday in a plan proponents say will ensure the state can meet its carbon-free power production promise by 2045. The Senate’s 44-7 endorsement opens the door for cutting-edge nuclear technology in so-called small modular reactors, designed to sit on sites for which they produce power, such as large factories. Environmentalists have criticized the plan, noting that small modular reactors are a decade or more from viability. Sponsoring Sen. Sue Rezin, a Republican from Morris, said that’s the reason, coupled with a federal permitting process of as much as eight years, her legislation is timely. https://apnews.com/article/illinois-nuclear-small-modular-reactors-moratorium-a56a90a09185e864cdd7f5d6d24b9d48

https://apnews.com/article/uganda-totalenergies-pipeline-project-graves-disturbed-318723513b6a424260534d9242dbb1f9 The French oil company TotalEnergies is failing to protect the sanctity of hundreds of graves in a controversial project that aims to build a heated pipeline from oil fields in Uganda to a port in Tanzania, according to a report by a New York-based climate watchdog. In a report released Thursday, GreenFaith charges that TotalEnergies “has consistently failed to respect local customs and traditions related to the treatment of graves,” distressing local communities in the East African nations of Uganda and Tanzania. The report is the latest effort by a growing list of campaigners who urge TotalEnergies and its partners — China National Offshore Oil Corporation and the governments of Uganda and Tanzania — to cancel the project. As the majority shareholder, TotalEnergies has long faced legal pressure from activists who say the nearly 1,500-kilometer (900-mile) pipeline project undermines the Paris climate accord.

Tens of millions of people across northern China were under severe pollution warnings Tuesday, with authorities urging them to reduce outdoor activities as a grayish smog enveloped the region. Several areas of north China's Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, home to over 100 million people, are suffering from some of the worst pollution they have seen in months. In the capital Beijing, authorities Monday issued an orange alert—the country's second-highest pollution warning. https://phys.org/news/2023-10-northern-china-severe-pollution.html

Pope Francis said Wednesday that he will travel to Dubai in early December for the COP28 conference of climate change, a global challenge that he had deeply worried about during his papacy stressing care for the environment. Francis announced the trip during a 45-minute-long interview on Italian television network RAI. “I believe I depart on the first (of December) and stay till the 3rd,” the pontiff said. “I’ll be there 3 days.” Francis offered no details of his trip’s program, including any appearance at the conference. It seemed likely he would want to address the delegates, especially because of the attention he has paid since becoming pope in 2013 to raising concern about the gravity of environmental damage, especially to poor people. https://apnews.com/article/pope-francis-climate-cop28-dubai-4336180d8a2424a59beadb9c29d3a4ad
