FINAL Senate Letter on Stimulus Bill.Wps
Beyond Nuclear ♦ Center for American Progress Action Fund Center for Auto Safety Clean Water Action Earthjustice ENVIRONMENT AMERICA ♦ Environmental and Energy Institute Friends of the Earth Greenpeace Institute for Energy and Environmental Research Natural Resources Defense Council Nuclear Information and Resource Service 1Sky Physicians For Social Responsibility Public Citizen Sierra Club Southern Alliance for Clean Energy SUN DAY Campaign 2020 Vision Western Organization of Resource Councils February 2, 2009 Dear Senator: The Senate Appropriations Committee has added an additional $50 billion in loan guarantees to the American Recovery and Investment Act of 2009 to support energy technologies authorized under Title XVII of the Energy Policy Act of 2005. The vast majority of this authorization would likely go to technologies such as nuclear power and liquid coal. The nuclear industry has demanded $122 billion in loan guarantees to construct 21 new nuclear reactors, according to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). There are numerous reasons why nuclear and liquid coal loan guarantees do not belong in an economic stimulus bill and we urge you to oppose this provision. First, these industries will not provide significant stimulus. The nuclear industry is not ready to build new reactors in the near-term. Even under the best-case scenarios for the industry, no new reactors will even be licensed for at least three years and they will take another six or more years to build. Similarly, there are very few liquid coal facilities that can go forward today. This provision would essentially allow developers to pocket stimulus funding for later at the expense of more immediate opportunities. -

COMMONWEALTH OF KENTUCKY BEFORE THE PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION In the Matter of: AN INQUIRY INTO THE STATE CASE NO. UNIVERSAL SERVICE FUND 2016·00059 ORDER On February 1, 2016, the Commission, on its own motion, initiated this administrative proceeding to investigate the current and future funding, distribution, and administration of the Kentucky Universal Service Fund ("KUSF") , which provides supplemental support for authorized telecommunications carriers that also participate in the federal Lifeline program. The Commission stated that the need for the investigation arose from the projected depletion of the KUSF by April 2016, at which time the fund will no longer be able to meet its monthly obligation, absent action to increase funding or reduce spending. The Commission named as parties the Attorney General's office; all Local Exchange Carriers; all commercial mobile radio service providers; and all eligible telecommunications carriers, and established a procedural schedule providing for the filing of testimony by parties, discovery, and an opportunity for a hearing. In initiating this investigation, the Commission's February 1, 2016 Order cited the need to maintain the solvency of the KUSF and proposed to either temporarily raise the KUSF per-line surcharge from $0.08 to $0.14 or to temporarily lower the amount of state support. Any comments addressing either proposal were required to be filed no later than February 22, 2016. The Commission received a total of nine joint and/or individual comments from the parties to the case, as well as three comments from members of the public. Four joint and/or individual comments 1 expressed support for the Commission's proposal to temporarily raise the per-line monthly surcharge from $0.08 to $0.14. -

June 23, 2011 President Barack Obama the White House 1600
June 23, 2011 President Barack Obama The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., NW Washington, DC 20500 Dear President Obama, The Clean Air Act provides powerful, cost-effective, and proven tools to combat pollution. It is the best tool in place to combat greenhouse gas pollution on a national scale. It must not be weakened, nor should the ambitious enforcement of its provisions to combat greenhouse gas pollution be deferred. If big polluters and their allies in Congress get their way, your EPA will be prevented from implementing the Clean Air Act to protect our public health and environment by reducing dangerous carbon dioxide pollution that will permanently alter our climate. We need you to provide the leadership you promised. We need you to stand up to big polluters and their congressional allies and publicly state that you will veto any legislative moves to repeal, weaken or delay the Clean Air Act’s ability to curb greenhouse gas pollution.
