What could be more pathetic? So sad 😞
The Trump administration says excavation will begin within the next two weeks for #Trump’s proposed 250-foot-tall #TriumphalArch near Memorial Bridge, between the #Lincoln Memorial and #ArlingtonNationalCemetery
Renderings show a massive structure covered in gold details, topped by a winged, torch-bearing figure
“This will be one of the Great Pieces of American Architecture,” #Burgum wrote, “befitting the most 'powerful' [and stupid] Capital in the World”

Geeft gratis laptops aan studenten
Laptop Revive is een community van +100 vrijwilligers (Laptop Revivers), die een landelijk dekkend netwerk vormen. We nemen oude, maar niet defecte laptops in, zetten er Linux Mint Cinnamon op, zodat ze weer jaren meekunnen en geven ze gratis weg aan leerlingen en studenten die zich geen laptop kunnen veroorloven.
Affiniteit met computers is een pré, maar door de goede ondersteuning en goed beschreven processen en procedures is technische kennis niet eens noodzakelijk. De wil om bij te dragen aan het voorkomen van e-waste, studenten te helpen bouwen aan hun toekomst en open source en open standaarden te promoten is genoeg!

#US #Interior secretary orders #offshorewind project shut down
The order from US Secretary of the Interior #DougBurgum, who alleged that the project was rushed through review. But #Burgum's move comes the same week a report from the Government Accountability Office, done in response to the executive order, found only minor issues with the existing permitting process.
The #Equnior project, termed #EmpireWind, is a key part of #NewYork's plans to meet its #climate goals.

BETRAYED!!!
Well, even though #DougBurgum will want to #DrillBabyDrill, #DebHaaland advocated for that as well. In the past, #Burgum had done some good stuff with regards to #NativeAmerican rights in his state of #NorthDakota. However, some #TribalLeaders are in the pockets of #BigOilAndGas and other #extractive industries -- so that needs to change on a #FirstNation by First Nation basis!
North Dakota tribal leaders see Burgum as an ally in Interior, energy role
By: Mary Steurer - November 15, 2024
"This past June, Burgum acknowledged at an event that relations between the state and tribes were at a low point when he took office in 2016. At the time, protests against the #DakotaAccessPipeline in southern #NorthDakota were ongoing, involving thousands of demonstrators who flocked to the state to camp in solidarity with the #StandingRockSioux Tribe in opposition to the pipeline.
"Burgum said one of the first things he did as governor was reach out to Dave Archambault, chair of Standing Rock at the time, and offer to come meet with tribal leaders.
"'That’s where we were starting from: with a commitment to each other to listen to each other,' Burgum said during this year’s Strengthening Government to Government conference, an annual event started under his leadership that brings together state and tribal leaders.
"U.S. Sen. Kevin Cramer, R-N.D., said he thinks Burgum’s experience working with North Dakota tribal leaders makes him a good fit for leading Interior. He characterized the current #BIA as unresponsive and bureaucratic."

#Trump Picks #ClimateDenying #Oil&Gas Magnate as #EnergySecretary. He Once Drank #FrackingFluid on Live TV
#DemocracyNow, November 18, 2024
"As we broadcast all week from the #COP29 talks in #Azerbaijan, we look at what Donald Trump’s reelection as U.S. president means for the #climate. #CleanEnergy and #environmental advocates are raising alarm over Trump’s picks for key roles in his administration, including #fracking magnate #ChrisWright to serve as energy secretary and #NorthDakota Governor #DougBurgum to lead the #InteriorDepartment, where he could greatly expand #drilling on #FederalLands. #Burgum, a major ally of the #FossilFuel industry, was also tapped to head a newly created #NationalEnergyCouncil aimed at increasing oil and gas production.
"For more on the #WhiteHouse transition, we speak with #ManishBapna, president of the Natural Resources Defense Council [#NRDC] and Natural Resources Defense Council Action. He calls Trump’s picks 'deeply troubling' but says there is still room for optimism. 'The clean energy transition in the United States is unstoppable. It’s going to hit some speed bumps now, but it will move forward,' says Bapna."

"The mechanics of how we’ve done things in North Dakota don’t really make sense from an ethics standpoint."
—Scott Skokos, executive director of Dakota Resource CouncilWhen Republican #Kelly #Armstrong filed his federal financial disclosure after being elected to Congress in 2018, he revealed his 👉 extensive ties to the oil and gas industry in his home state of North Dakota.
💥It detailed his income from hundreds of oil wells and his financial relationship with two of the state’s largest oil producers.
⚠️ Those ties will matter a great deal if, as is likely, he’s elected as North Dakota’s governor next month.
Under North Dakota’s system, he will automatically chair two state bodies that regulate the energy industry, meaning 💥Armstrong would be expected to preside over decisions that directly impact companies in which he has financial or familial ties.
🆘As head of both the North Dakota Industrial Commission and the Land Board, Armstrong would have a nearly unmatched level of control and oversight compared with leaders in other states.The former state senator would help set policy at a time when North Dakota
— the No. 3 oil producer in the nation
— is entering a new phase of energy development.
The Industrial Commission has faced criticism in recent years from landowners and legislators, including for being too supportive of corporate interests.Armstrong wrote in an email, in response to questions from the North Dakota Monitor and ProPublica, that ♦️he earns nearly all of his personal income from the oil and gas industry.
♦️In 2022, Armstrong received up to $50,000 in royalty income from Hess Corp.
— a company that has been the subject of 14 votes by one of those bodies in recent years and is likely to be discussed by the boards in the years to come.
♦️Similarly, an oil and gas company run by Armstrong’s father had been part of a yearslong, multicompany dispute with the Land Board, which oversees state-owned lands and minerals.
Most entities, including his father’s company, have reached negotiated settlements.
The man Armstrong seeks to succeed, Gov. #Doug #Burgum, has voted about 20 times on issues related to companies with which he has a financial relationship, according to a review of minutes from the Industrial Commission, which is responsible for energy regulation and oversight of state-owned businesses.
That includes Continental Resources, one of the region’s largest producers.⭐️These votes were made under North Dakota’s ethics rules, which are significantly weaker than those in other states.
❌Board members have discretion to decide whether they have a conflict of interest, and the boards are effectively self-policing on this front.
❌The state’s Ethics Commission has created conflict-of-interest rules, but it can only take action if a complaint is filed;
it also has not implemented consequences for violating those rules.🔥Most ethics experts contacted for this article said that royalty owners voting on matters involving companies they receive income from is problematic.
