On April 28, GOP Rep. Jim Jordan accused environmental law scholars of bias, conspiracy and colluding to influence the U.S. judiciary.
The next day, free-market conservatives kicked off a multiday climate skepticism event for more than 150 judges.

“You Feel Like You’re Being Cheated”: Oil Companies Unfairly Take Millions, North Dakota Mineral Owners Say
—
Oil companies are holding back a large portion of revenue payments to the people they lease drilling rights from, often with little explanation. But the industry has an outsize influence in the state, and public officials have refused to take action.

Frustrated by oil companies mysteriously withholding large amounts of royalties, North Dakota mineral owners lobbied for change.
Instead, lawmakers provided an oversight program that, owners say, fails to address the issue it was created to solve.

“I hope that the people in North Dakota wake up and realize how much money should be in their pockets instead of industry’s pockets,” said Tom Huber, leader of West Virginia’s royalty owner association.

Salt water laced with cancer-causing chemicals, a byproduct of oil and gas drilling, keeps shooting out of the ground in Oklahoma.
Experts say it means even more wastewater is spreading underground, poisoning the state’s water supply.

Der #Heizhammer der #BILD-Zeitung löste 2023 eine Panik aus, Medien berichteten vom Einbrechen des #Wärmepumpenmarktes und einem Rekordjahr für #Gas.
Was aber keiner bemerkt hat: Das stimmt nicht, es wurden einfach nur jede Menge Fehlinformationen verbreitet und die Geschichte dahinter ist sehr viel größer, als irgendjemand geahnt hat.
Wir schauen uns alles ganz genau an und zeigen, dass die Kampagne der BILD gescheitert ist.

NEW: Trump Plans to Protect Methane-Leaking Stripper Wells. This Billionaire Donor Will Benefit.
Oil tycoon Jeffery Hildebrand gave millions to Donald Trump’s 2024 election campaign. He is set to reap a financial windfall as the EPA moves to weaken restrictions on wells like his that produce very little energy but release vast amounts of methane.

"Before Iran, there was Covid: Trump falls apart in a crisis. But journalists are still letting him write the headlines."
As Dan Froomkin says, this is exactly analogous to how the press behaved when Trump careened from lie to lie and bogus solution to bogus solution during the Covid crisis of his first term.

Fifteen laws in 11 states that could immunize the fossil fuel industry from climate-related legal claims have either been passed or are being debated.
Many bills are part of a coordinated effort by groups linked to right-wing activist Leonard Leo.

Carbon capture is one of their favored ideas.
