😡 #LakeTahoe’s poisoned-pine mystery: $147,000 reward offered
Someone poisoned 28 towering #pines at a residents-only Lake Tahoe beach. Investigators have no suspect, but a clearer waterfront view may be the motive.
By Monica Danielle, AccuWeather staff writer
Published Sep 21, 2026Excerpt: " What is the suspected motive for killing historic trees?
"The attacks have turned into a high-dollar whodunit in a place where an unobstructed view of Lake Tahoe can significantly increase property values. Incline Village is one of Lake Tahoe’s wealthiest enclaves, home to #billionaires and #TechExecutives. A waterfront estate there sold for a record $125 million this year, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.
"In a community where a wide-open view of the lake can be part of a nine-figure property deal, the destruction of trees along the shoreline has fueled suspicion about who benefits if they disappear.
" 'My gut instinct tells me this is someone that lives nearby that is trying to improve the value of their home,' Washoe County sheriff’s Lt. Chad McKinnon told the Los Angeles Times. 'Whether they want to resell it soon, so they think maybe this is a way to help improve the lake view to get more money.' "

Oh boy... This can't be good. I'll be posting some DIY recipes for some of these things on #SolarPunkSunday (willow-bark tea instead of asprin, and making vinegar, paints and glue.) Also, doesn't this guy have enough money to deal with high gas prices? Or try and use renewables instead of un-natural gas? Oh wait... #Billionaire Sir Ratcliffe lives in #Monaco to avoid paying taxes in the UK! He's not one to part with money, it seems. Despite all his HOT AIR about efficient gas-fueled manufacturing.
Sir #JimRatcliffe suspends production at key UK plants blaming high gas prices
"The facilities produce raw materials used to make pharmaceuticals, clothing, cosmetics, detergents, construction materials and military explosives in the UK and Europe. Gas is a key ingredient in production.
"Ineos said the move will affect up to 1,000 of its staff, of whom 245 work directly at the site.
"But the BBC understands workers across the sites will be kept on while Ineos tries to buy liquefied natural gas (LNG) directly from the US at lower prices - which could take up to a year - or waits for gas prices to go down.
"Ineos is asking governments in the UK and the EU — where most of its products are exported to — to put in tariff protections against Chinese products.
One plant makes acetic acid, which is used in vinegar, paint and glue. Another makes acetic anhydride, a key ingredient of aspirin, and the third makes ethyl acetate, which is used as a solvent and for decaffeinating tea and coffee.
He said the current government's energy policy was 'economic vandalism on an industrial scale'."The wholesale price of natural gas — used for heating homes and generating electricity — has almost doubled in the UK and Europe since July.
"Analysts say the main driver has been a reduction in global oil and gas supplies.
Ineos says that its plants in Humberside are 'among the most efficient in the world', producing materials with half the carbon footprint of US rivals, and only one eighth the footprint of Chinese equivalents. [But why not use renewables?!!! Why keep relying on gas?]"Two plants are already shut and a third will stop production in coming days, the company said. It did not immediately specify when the plants might start again, or what conditions would make that possible.
"It's the second time in less than a week that #SirJim, who also owns a large stake in #ManchesterUnited, has heavily criticised government policy.
"He told BBC News last week that he has lost confidence in the UK, describing the country as "on the slide", which he blamed on #HighTaxes and high #immigration.
"Sir Jim, whose wealth is estimated to be around £15bn, has prompted controversy in the past with his comments on immigration. He was a supporter of Brexit but has been a tax resident in Monaco since 2020."
