environmental and economic exploitation of national resources

12/22/20 — Economic and environment exploitation of national resources to benefit an elite group of entitled investors is not the right direction for the United States. These changes were often made in direct response to requests from lobbyists and company executives who were major donors by patrons at certain hotels and resorts.

Working people will be exploited for their labor while these investors benefit from the extraction and sale of sovereign resources, further narrowing the global supply markets with unprecedented environmental costs. Where is the investment in clean power and protection of land for future generations? Taking from the earth for self-enrichment has created the narrow door of coal mines and gas wells where poor people risk their lives to benefit the excessive wealth derived for the owners and investors.

Despite the shameless environmental destruction of mining sites and ground water, the failure to share the prosperity with the USA citizens who are most removed from these resources is never ending. This is another example of the failed USA Energy system, which chooses a select group of wealthy, foreign, white people to build large-scale mining and energy projects on federal lands, encouraged by investors physically removed from the process.

The ultimate costs are borne by average, often USA citizens of color, who are far removed from the land, failing to see what is happening, and the exploitation of their share of these financial resources. #earthlobbyist

on Dec 19, 2020 Eric Lipton wrote an article with references published by the New York Times, from which my following statement was based.

a) In Utah, Canadian-based energy speculators a will start drilling in our national wilderness for what they believe is a huge underground supply of helium. They want to extract then sell natural property belonging to all USA citizens it for huge profits in an inflated market.

B) In Nevada, investors will construct a sprawling open-pit mine to extract and sell lithium that belongs to all USA citizens on federal land, that sits above a prehistoric volcano site.

c) Another natural gas pipeline will be built through the Jefferson National Forest in Virginia and West Virginia that will benefit the investors, not the average citizens who may be living in poverty.

d) Last month, the EPA ( Environmental Privileges Associates) gave final approval for the construction of a new Canadian -investor backed uranium mine called the Dewey-Burdock project, on 12,613 acres near the Black Hills of South Dakota, despite that fact there is already excess capacity in USA uranium mines. This project will inject (frack) a chemical called lixiviant in more than 1,461 wells, causing radioactive uranium to leach into the underground reservoirs, contaminating the water forever. Greed knows no limits or remorse.

You can find more planned projects awaiting action right now last days of2021 to support economic and environmental exploitation of the people’s protected lands for profit, by entitled, elite investors with no regard for the greater social or environmental matrix of the USA. This thoughtless abuse of people and resources gives substantial new weight to privatized corporate interests, which are really just rich people organized into an LLC or other nameless entity.

Citizens must not allow elected persons to choose former industry executives to run major federal agencies like the Environmental Protection Agency and the Interior Department that are charged with protected the resources of the USA for all t’s citizens, executives and their supporters that can afford to buy influence through lobbying and gifting of elected officials-January.

In closing I wish to thank and credit Eric Lipton who wrote the article published on Dec 19, 20002 for the New York Times, from which my statement was based ,and from which facts were extracted.

When you look at these improved maps there is no denying the science of climate change https://www.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/GOES/conus.php?sat=G16
