From red to black: How Philly remade its transit system

By Susie Cagle

The Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority has come a long way, baby. Back in the ’90s, it was mired in $75 million in debt and under investigation by the FBI. Now it’s being honored [PDF] as one of the top transit agencies in the nation.

The Philadelphia Daily News has the story of how SEPTA was turned around over the last two decades, in large part thanks to board chair Pat Deon. After years of operating in the red, Philly’s transit systems added revenue-generating advertisements, balanced its budget, and drove right into the black.

SEPTA’s chief financial officer, Richard Burnfield, said the Deon-era board’s commitment to running SEPTA like a business with balanced budgets has attracted hundreds of millions of dollars in government funding that riders enjoy through new Silverliner V regional-rail cars ($330 million), 440 new hybrid buses ($232 million) and beautifully rebuilt subway stations such as Spring Garden and Girard ($30 million).

There were also some notable cultural shifts at the agency.

A big accomplishment during Deon’s tenure has been the cessation of hostilities between the 15-member board’s 13 suburban members and two city members.

Rina Cutler, who was appointed to the board by Mayor Nutter five years ago, said, “It was very clear to me that the city and SEPTA spent a long time poking each other in the eye, and that this relationship was not useful.

“I came from Boston, where people have such a love affair with transit, they wear T-shirts with an MBTA [Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority] route map on them,” Cutler said. “That model didn’t exist here.”

Cutler said she and Deon “have a healthy respect” for one another and “we don’t poke each other in the eyes anymore.”

Deon told the Daily News: “When I first came here, this was just a pitiful operation. For myself and the board, it was like turning around an ocean liner. But we did it.”

Now Deon is pushing for a new smart-card system that would allow poorer transit riders without bank accounts to deposit their checks directly into the system, saving hundreds of dollars in fees and streamlining their rides. The city also plans to phase out subway tokens (!) by 2014.

The problems SEPTA has faced are more or less the same ones facing other regional transit systems that reach across poor urban communities and more affluent suburban ones (give or take an FBI investigation and some bus-related gunfire). If Philly can turn things around, perhaps there’s hope for us all.

More Drones, Ever More Drones

by donseoo Posted on February 22, 2013

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN” “http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd”>

Speaking of drones, they just keep getting more and more popular. Today brings two pieces of drone news. First, Afghanistan:

The U.S. military launched 506 strikes from unmanned aircraft in Afghanistan last year, according to Pentagon data, a 72% increase from 2011 and a sign that American commanders may begin to rely more heavily on remote-controlled air power to kill Taliban insurgents as they reduce the number of troops on the ground

….The use of armed drones is likely to accelerate as most of the 66,000 U.S. troops in the country are due to withdraw by the end of 2014. The remotely piloted long-range aircraft, which kill targets with virtually no risk to American lives, carry an unmistakable attraction for military commanders.

Next, Mali:

President Obama announced Friday that about 100 U.S. troops have been deployed to the West African country of Niger, where defense officials said they are setting up a drone base to spy on al-Qaeda fighters in the Sahara.

….The drone base in Niger marks the opening of another far-flung U.S. military operation against al-Qaeda and its affiliates, in addition to ongoing combat missions in Afghanistan, Yemen and Somalia. The CIA is also conducting airstrikes against al-Qaeda targets in Pakistan and Yemen….The drones will be based initially in the capital, Niamey, but military officials would like to move them eventually to the northern city of Agadez, which is closer to parts of northern Mali where al-Qaeda cells have taken root.

I don’t think we should expect this trend to abate anytime soon.

UPDATE: And now this: “The United Arab Emirates is close to purchasing Predator drones from a San Diego County defense contractor, sparking concern among arms control advocates….The agreement would mark the first time a non-NATO country has obtained the American-made technology, which has reshaped modern warfare.”

As emissions drop, Northeast tightens its cap-and-trade system

As emissions drop, Northeast tightens its cap-and-trade system

By Philip Bump

Congratulations to the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI, pronounced “Reggie,” like Archie Andrews’ obnoxious friend) on effectively reducing carbon pollution! Kind of!

RGGI, long-time readers may recall, is a marketplace for carbon emissions in the Northeast. It’s cap-and-trade, explained more fully here. A price is determined for a set amount of carbon allowances and fossil-fuel power plants buy those allowances. Because of a big drop in emissions from participating states — Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island, and Vermont – the total amount of allowed emissions will be reduced next year.

vincent desjardins

The Ravenswood plant in Queens.

From The New York Times:

The regional group proposed a 45 percent reduction next year in the total carbon dioxide emissions allowed. …

The reduction from 165 million tons is expected to raise the price of compliance, and further reductions of 2.5 percent annually were likely to increase the value of the allowances that utilities must submit for every ton of carbon dioxide, or its equivalent, that they emit.

If the proposal goes into effect, the analysis done by the group, which is a collaboration of nine states to cut carbon emissions, indicates that by 2020, allowances that are now trading at $1.93 could trade as high as $10. That would be roughly at the level where allowances for California’s new economy-wide cap-and-trade system were auctioned last fall.

Carbon dioxide emissions in participating states have been dropping, but not so much because of RGGI. Rather, it’s for the same reason they’re dropping everywhere in the U.S.: transition from coal to natural gas and increased use of renewables.

Cap-and-trade is all about supply and demand. If RGGI allows far more pollution credits than are needed, prices for those credits plummet and polluters don’t need to worry about emissions. Reducing the number of credits constrains pollution.

But, of course, conservatives are complaining. From the Union-Leader:

“It’s time to remove our state from this failed cap-and-trade program and take away this burden from New Hampshire individuals and small businesses,” said Corey R. Lewandowski, state director of Americans for Prosperity-New Hampshire, in a statement.

“Today’s proposal to significantly reduce the number of permits available demonstrates the failure of the RGGI program.”

And that statement demonstrates the failure of Americans for Prosperity — a group with deep ties to the fossil-fuel-loving Koch brothers — to have any understanding of basic economics. In the Archie universe, AFP would be Moose.

We’re on the verge of a scary undersea gold rush

We’re on the verge of a scary undersea gold rush

By Susie Cagle

Two of the most popular shows on cable television right now are about digging for gold. Exciting! Gold! One of these shows, the Discovery Channel’s Bering Sea Gold, focuses on the human difficulties and dangers of digging for gold under the sea floor off the coast of Alaska.

This pursuit of material mineral riches seems like it might be a bad idea for these individuals, especially that dude with the bloody hand. But when the gold is even deeper under the sea, digging it up could be an even worse idea. And at today’s inflated gold prices, digging up the ocean will be as lucrative as it could be destructive.

National Geographic’s feature story on deep-sea mineral mining sets up a scary proposition for the Solwara 1 site in Papua New Guinea especially, where one company hopes to blaze a path into the deep with new mining technologies that could allow for the scooping up of billions if not trillions of dollars worth of deep-sea minerals.

[A] fledgling deep-sea mining industry faces a host of challenges before it can claim the precious minerals, from the need for new mining technology and serious capital to the concerns of conservationists, fishers, and coastal residents.

The roadblocks are coming into view in the coastal waters of Papua New Guinea, where the seafloor contains copper, zinc, and gold deposits worth hundreds of millions of dollars and where one company, Nautilus Minerals, hopes to launch the world’s first deep-sea mining operation …

Samantha Smith, Nautilus’s vice president for corporate social responsibility, says that ocean floor mining is safer, cleaner, and more environmentally friendly than its terrestrial counterpart.

“There are no mountains that need to be removed to get to the ore body,” she says. “There’s a potential to have a lot less waste … No people need to be displaced. Shouldn’t we as a society consider such an option?”

But mining a mile below the sea’s surface, where pressure is 160 times greater than on land and where temperatures swing from below freezing to hundreds of degrees above boiling, is trickier and more expensive than mining on terra firma.

It’s trickier in part because the same undersea hydrothermal vent spots that are so full of gold and other fancy mineral deposits are also full of awesome sea creatures like seven-foot-long tubeworms and giant snails.

Conservationists also say they want to know more about the vent ecosystems and how they will be mined.

“The whole world is new to the concept of deep-sea mining,” says Helen Rosenbaum, coordinator of the Deep Sea Mining Campaign, a small activist group in Australia that campaigns against mining the Solwara 1 site.

“This is going to be the world’s first exploitation of these kinds of deep resources. The impacts are not known, and we need to apply precautionary principles,” she says. “If we knew what the impacts were going to be, we could engage in a broad-based debate.” …

A report released in November 2012 by the Deep Sea Mining Campaign ties exploratory pre-mining activities and equipment testing by Nautilus to “cloudy water, dead tuna, and a lack of response of sharks to the age-old tradition of shark calling.”

Shark calling is a religious ritual in which Papua New Guineans lure sharks from the deep and catch them by hand.

In the past 10 years, a dozen exploratory permits have been issued to governments around the world for drilling into international waters. Any over/under bets on when this all goes horribly wrong?

Paper Giant Pledges To Leave the Poor Rainforest Alone. Finally.

by donseoo Posted on February 5, 2013

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN” “http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd”>

If you’ve ever bought toilet paper, a bucket of KFC chicken, or photocopy paper, there’s a decent chance that it came from Asia Pulp & Paper, the third largest paper producer in the world. There’s also a chance that that paper was made from the quickly disappearing Indonesian rainforestâ&#128;&#148;which is why activists and environmental organizations have long labeled Asia Pulp & Paper a “forest criminal” for destroying this precious habitat. But Tuesday, APP and environmental activists came together to announce a new conservation policy that they say will stop the company’s destruction of virgin forests forever.

APP has pledged to develop plantations only on land that is not rainforest or land that has already been clearedâ&#128;&#148;and on February 1, it halted its bulldozers in the pristine forests that are home to species like the Sumatran tiger and the orangutan. The company has also committed to consult with indigenous and local communities on any proposed new plantations. The Forest Trust, a non-profit that works with corporations to instate sustainable forest practices, will monitor the implementation of the new policy.

The agreement on third-party evaluation is significant, according to Scott Poynton, the executive director of The Forest Trust, which worked with APP to design the new policy. While the company has drawn criticism in the past for not living up to promised environmental changes, Poynton said that this new policy is much stronger than any previous pledges.

Arguably the trickiest part of all this is that the new policy applies not only to If APP, but also to its business partners; as other corporations have found, controlling your whole supply chain can be difficult. But if it succeeds, the impact will be great: APP is a $6 billion company that produces 8.5 million tons of paper per year. The company and its suppliers control 6.4 million acres in Indonesia alone.

The Forest Trust, which began working with APP in February 2012, specializes in changing corporate giants from the inside. In 2010, it worked with Nestle to get deforested products out of its supply chain. Poynton said the group’s strategy is to wait for companies to request help in devising sustainability plans. “We believe if we want to solve the problem we ought to work with the folks who are causing it,” he explained. Forest Trust has 50 staffers dedicated to ending deforestation in Indonesia, Poynton said, including experts in forestry, ecology, social science and conflict resolution. Thirty of them have been working with APP to develop the new policy.

As Poynton was quick to point out, it was the campaigning from Greenpeace, Rainforest Action Network, and other environmental groups that pushed APP to the table in the first place. “This would never have happened without efforts of Greenpeace and other NGOS that campaigned against APP,” he said. “But we also don’t think it could have happened without someone on the inside like us working with the company to figure out how to get there.”

Greenpeace has been campaigning against APP for years, exposing the company’s use of illegally logged trees and highlighting the ways in which its deforestation contributes to skyrocketing carbon emissions. Greenpeace and convinced more than 100 companiesâ&#128;&#148;including giants like Adidas, Kraft, Staples, and Nestléâ&#128;&#148;to stop doing business with APP. One of Greenpeace’s campaigns asked Barbieâ&#128;&#148;a Mattel productâ&#128;&#148;to “break up” with APP, which prompted the toy giant to stop sourcing paper from “controversial sources.”

“I think APP is really seeing that pressure from the market,” said Bustar Maitar, the head of Greenpeaceâ&#128;&#153;s forest campaign in Indonesia. “There is no choice for them to keep their products in the international market. They have to do forest protection in Indonesia.”

Maitar is optimistic that the change could move the rest of the global paper and pulp market, too. “APP’s commitment will send a strong signal to the rest of the world to move on forest protection,” he said. “Otherwise they will lose their international market.”

Aida Greenbury, APP’s managing director of sustainability, told Mother Jones that the campaigns from Greenpeace and others didn’t directly hurt the company’s bottom line. But they did affect its reputation. “The loss we suffer mostly is linked to the image, the perception about APP,” said Greenbury. “If you want to be recognized as a true global leader, we don’t want any image of forest destruction or deforestation attached to us.”

Greenbury said that the commitment also reflects APP’s business interests. “Truthfully it’s not only about environmental and social sustainability, it’s also about economic sustainability as well,” she continued. “We need work with stakeholders not only in Indonesia but beyond, because we want to make sure that we don’t have a lost opportunity in the future to expand our market.”

While supportive of the announcement, Greenpeace’s Maitar conditioned his praise with the statement that Greenpeace will be monitoring APP’s success in putting its commitment into action. “For us this is the last opportunity of APP to make the commitment and implement it on the ground,” he said. “This is the golden opportunity for APP.”

Keystone XL decision unlikely before June — and that’s good news

Keystone XL decision unlikely before June — and that’s good news

By Philip Bump

MCLA

Well, Keystone XL protestors, kiss your springs goodbye. Looks like you’ll be fighting TransCanada’s proposal to run a mega-pipe from the Alberta oil sands to Oklahoma until June.

From Reuters:

The Obama administration’s decision on the Keystone XL oil pipeline will not be made until at least June, a U.S. official said, which would delay the project for months and frustrate backers of Canada’s oil sands.

“We’re talking the beginning of summer at the earliest,” said the source, who did not want to be identified due to the sensitive nature of the TransCanada Corp project, which has been pending for more than four and a half years. “It’s not weeks until the final decision. It’s months.”

This can actually be considered good news. As we’ve noted multiple times, insufficient distribution outlets for tar-sands oil means that its sale price is plummeting — meaning that developing the oil sands makes less and less economic sense.

The Reuters article says as much:

The delay is painful in Canada which is suffering persistent, discounted prices for its oil because of tight pipeline capacity. The premier of the Western Canadian province of Alberta warned last week that it faced a $6 billion revenue shortfall due to current pipeline constraints.

Canada had another door slammed in its face today by the European Union. From another Reuters article:

Canada’s urgent hunt for buyers for its oil is being thwarted as the European Commission sticks to a plan to label fuel from tar sands deposits as highly polluting, deterring refiners bound by environmental rules. …

Intense pressure from Canada, seeking new markets to compensate for dwindling U.S. buying and discounted sales, has not convinced the EU executive to abandon its proposal to brand tar sands oil as more carbon-intensive than conventional crude. …

EU member states approved legislation in 2009, called the Fuel Quality Directive, with the aim of cutting greenhouse gases from transport fuel sold in Europe by 6 percent by 2020.

That leaves one big market for the oil: Asia. And with the Northern Gateway pipeline — perhaps the only viable route from Alberta to the Pacific — in jeopardy, Asia appears to be hard to reach as well.

It’s not clear why it will take the State Department until June to make up its mind. But with every day that passes, the Keystone XL pipeline makes less and less economic sense.

Can Two Dedicated Congressmen Make Their Colleagues Care About Climate?

by donseoo Posted on January 24, 2013

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN” “http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd”>

Rep. Henry Waxman (D-Calif.) and Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) announced on Thursday that they are forming a joint House-Senate Climate Change Task Force. The effort will be “dedicated to focusing Congressional and public attention on climate change and developing effective policy responses.” Any member of Congress interested in the issue can join.

The group intends to release reports, memoranda, and correspondence “to advance the group’s goal of increasing awareness and developing policy responses to climate change.”

The task force’s first action is a letter sent today to President Obama asking him to outline specific steps that federal agencies will take to get the country to the administration’s previously stated goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions 17 percent by 2020. They also asked him to scale up investment in clean technology and develop a strategy for dealing with climate impacts across the US. Obama gave climate change significant space in his inaugural address earlier this week, but hasn’t yet outlined plans to deal with it in his second term.

“The window to deal effectively with a warming planet and to mitigate long-term risks is quickly closing,” they wrote in the letter, which was also signed by Rep. Ed Markey (D-Mass.). “Our best hope to change course is to forge together a national consensus that insists on addressing climate change. And our best hope for forging that consensus is the presidential leadership we know you can give to this issue.”

The letter pretty much acknowledged that Congress isn’t likely to do much in terms of meaningful action, which puts the onus on Obama to take executive action. “We in Congress need your leadership most of all. Virtually all Republicans in Congress opposed comprehensive climate legislation in the 111th Congress, and they voted to strip EPA of regulatory authority in the last one. Progress is Congress may be so difficult or protracted that you should not hesitate to act.”

Washington’s brand-new governor, Jay Inslee, wastes no time promoting clean energy

Washington’s brand-new governor, Jay Inslee, wastes no time promoting clean energy

By Philip Bump

Yesterday, the state of Washington got itself a new governor. During the campaign, environmental advocates were bullish on Jay Inslee’s prospects as a leader on green issues; our Lisa Hymas suggested he might be the greenest governor in the country.

Inslee didn’t waste much time in trying to meet those expectations. From the Olympian:

Inslee, a Democrat with an eye to putting Washington ahead of other states on green jobs and responding to climate change, revisited those themes in his [inaugural] address, which also touch on school funding, the economy and other themes. He also spoke of bringing “innovation” to the culture of Olympia.

Hoping to lend his message urgency, Inslee’s speech was titled, “The World Will Not Wait.” …

Notably, Inslee said: “There is no challenge greater for Washington, with more opportunity for job growth, and more suited to our particular brand of genius and ingenuity, than leading the world’s clean energy economy. It is clear to me that we are the right state, at the right time, with the right people, and it’s also clear to me that we face grave and immediate danger if we fail to act.”

By the time he gave that address, Inslee had already taken action on those words. This photo was taken shortly before he spoke.

govinslee

The photo is titled, “Governor Inslee’s first act.” Its caption?

Writing a letter to the head of a clean energy company the Governor hopes will relocate to Washington: “I took the oath of office 45 minutes ago and my first act as Governor is to write you to invite you to join us in Washington in building a new energy economy. I look forward to shaking your hand. Jay”

Inslee will be governor for four years. With one day down, it’s safe to assume that environmental activists are looking forward to the next 1,459.
