Don't Let #Dirty Energy Trump the Climate!
NIRS Southeast Director, Mary Olson, discusses what you can do to stop the Congressional nuclear bailout!
|
Dear Friend,
Irma and Harvey mark the first time on record that two category 4 or higher hurricanes have struck the U.S. mainland in the same year, both in states that have nuclear reactors. The potential danger is overwhelmingly apparent. At the rate at which we’re experiencing extreme natural disasters, how can we be certain the next one won’t trigger a Fukushima-like nuclear meltdown?
It’s ludicrous that the Trump administration would propose nuclear bailouts for this dying, dirty, and dangerous energy source. We have to stop Trump's $100+ Billion nuclear bailout!
The combined estimated damage from Irma and Harvey is about $290 billion. Where the feds will get the money for those repairs is a mystery to most of us. But the idea that Trump wants to give $100+ billion in bailouts to coal and nuclear power in the face of these dirty-energy-fueled disasters is unconscionable – it must be stopped.
Now imagine the Turkey Point reactors, 25 miles from Miami, which were in line for a possible direct hit from Irma, had been struck. The financial cost would nearly double. Fukushima costs are still rising, currently sitting somewhere around $188 billion. Which does not include the cost in human lives, trauma, health, and quality of life.
We cannot afford to let the Trump administration bail out the nuclear industry.
The stakes are too high. Our rapidly changing climate has triggered extreme and uncertain weather patterns. We can’t allow this danger to be exacerbated by an avoidable catastrophic nuclear meltdown.
Join NIRS in our campaign to Stop the Nuclear and Coal Bailout. Your contribution will be DOUBLED and will enable us to take action.
Thanks for all you do!

Who's been ready for this weekend since they woke up on Monday morning? 
We're feeling seriously #blessed this month, with new Will & Grace episodes coming up to go along with Shake Shack's themed milkshakes. 
New Yorkers are usually pretty vocal about our opinions, especially politically– but how come nobody actually votes when they get the chance? 
Two Google Bros have decided to mess with bodegas, and New Yorkers are not having it. 
Brace yourselves– cuffing season is coming... make sure you're dressed for the occasion. 
This pizza festival has been dubbed the "Fyre Fest" of food festivals... we guess that's because Pizzagate was taken. 
If you think the iPhone X is changing the game with facial recognition, wait 'til you check out this KFC. 
Level up your afternoon snack game with this subscription box filled with cute, yummy, AND authentic Japanese treats.

Did you vote in this week’s primary election?
Yeah... neither did we.
But as you’ve probably heard by now, the abysmal turnout helped Mayor De Blasio coast to victory. By a YUGE margin, actually.
But when was the last time you saw a FB post actually supporting him? You won’t, because New Yorkers don’t actually like him.
So why didn’t we bother to vote?
Maybe because it kind of feels like he’s already won.

Looks like we’ve got some die-hard Will & Grace fans over at Shake Shack.
With the release of their limited edition, Will & Grace-themed milkshakes, in celebration of the show’s revival season this month!
Two new flavors, one of which is, drumroll... prosecco infused.
Check it out!

If you live in NYC, the bodega needs no introduction.
It’s the place you can go for a drunk munchie snack at 2 a.m. or when you realize you’re fresh out of olive oil.
Not to mention all the warm welcomes from the shop owners, who know you by name and let you play with Pierre, the local bodega cat.
Now two former Google guys are trying to create a product that would run our favorite bodegas (and cats) out of business.
And what are they calling this creation? Bodega. Ugh. Shame on you! SHAME.

Cuffing season is upon us!
And although we’re still not really sure if cuffing is actually a thing, we might as well prepare!
Guys, we’re talking to you.
We're hooking you up with the chance to win a brand new suit, tailored just for you, valued at $1000.
Kick-off the season in style!

So who knew KFC of all places would be so tech savvy?
This KFC store in China is seriously on their A-game, as they introduce a new facial recognition payment method.
That’s right, the future is here and KFC has begun the movement.
Before you know it, we’ll be leaving our wallets, and our phones (if we can manage) at home!

So ICYMI, a Pizza Fest on Saturday didn’t exactly go so well...
Word on the street is, it was quite underwhelming, with long lines and skinny little slices of pizza.
It seems that the festival owner may have made a few mistakes in his planning strategy, with not enough pizza delivered and problems with payments.
Apparently, a bunch of customers are even getting ticket refunds– clearly New Yorkers have NO time for games when it comes to pizza.

If you enjoy unique and authentic Asian snacking, but don’t always feel up to wandering around Chinatown, this subscription service is for you!
Snakku’s subscription service offers American subscribers snack boxes sourced straight from Japan’s local shops... and snazzily wrapped in washi-paper furoshiki.
Yummy and cute? We're already signed up.

מדוע לא מברכים את חודש תשרי, ומי כן מברך אותו
קוראים וקוראות יקרים,
בשבת שלפני ראש חודש נהוג לברך את החודש הבא עלינו לטובה. ברכה זו נעשית בבית-הכנסת, במהלכה אנו מאחלים כי "יחדשהו הקדוש ברוך הוא עלינו ועל עמו בית ישראל לחיים ולשלום, לששון ולשמחה, לישועה ולנחמה ונאמר אמן."
הברכה נועדה, בין היתר, כדי להודיע לציבור הרחב באיזה יום יחול ראש החודש העברי הקרוב.
אם אם תשהו בבית הכנסת בשבת שלפני ראש השנה, תגלו כי דווקא בשבת זו לא מברכים את החודש.
מדוע? הדבר נעשה כדי "לבלבל את השטן", כדי שהוא לא ידע כביכול מתי חל ראש השנה והוא לא יוכל לקטרג על עם ישראל.
רבי ישראל הבעל שם טוב אמר (בעיבוד חופשי):
בורא העולם בכבודו ובעצמו מברך את החודש תשרי, שהוא החודש הראשון לחודשי השנה, וברכתו של הבורא היא זו שמעניקה לעם ישראל את הכוח לברך את 11 החודשים האחרים.
מהי ברכתו של הקדוש ברוך הוא? זו פרשת ניצבים, אותה קוראים תמיד בשבת שלפני ראש השנה. שכן הפסוק אומר "אתם ניצבים היום", ואילו במקום אחר מופיע כי המילה 'היום' מתייחסת לראש השנה. הפסוק רומז, אם כן, שביום ראש השנה בני-ישראל יהיו ניצבים, יעמדו ויזכו בדין של מעלה.
שבת שלום!
הרב מנדי קמינקר

Dear friends–
The science indicates that Hurricanes Irma and Harvey were almost certainly made more powerful and destructive by climate change. These storms, along with the record heat and raging wildfires in the West, are calling out for real solutions to climate change.
EPA chief Scott Pruitt says he doesn't believe we should be talking about climate change now. No surprise, given Pruitt's and President Trump's climate denial and their efforts to roll back climate action.
But attitudes are shifting — including among Republicans. As Tomás Regalado, Republican mayor of Miami, FL — a city battered by Irma — countered: "This is the time that the president and the EPA and whoever makes decisions needs to talk about climate change."
And Senator John McCain told CNN this week that it was time to sit down and discuss potential solutions to climate change.
Let's use Mayor Regalado's and Senator McCain's bipartisan call to arms to pressure Democrats and Republicans to renounce climate denial and embrace climate action. Take action or find out more below.
Thanks for your support.

With Harvey and Irma, Help Turn Disaster Into Climate Action
Send leaders a last-chance wake-up call: Hurricanes Harvey and Irma are a turning point in America’s fight for climate solutions.
|
|
Respected Friends, It's been 11 days since Hurricane Harvey struck Texas, and now many Caribbean islands and Florida and other southeastern states face a new potentially devastating hurricane with Irma. The nation is focused — as we should be — on recovery and rebuilding in the wake of Harvey, and all-important preparations for this new storm racing toward us. But looming large over these storms is an issue that we ignore at our own peril: climate change.No climate scientist would pin all the blame for any one hurricane or any one extreme weather event on climate change. But we do know this: climate change almost certainly made Harvey more devastating. The Gulf of Mexico's waters are at record warmth. And warmer waters and air fuel more powerful and destructive storms. Only the willfully blind can ignore the larger pattern of extreme weather: Harvey is the third 500-year storm — or worse — to hit Houston in just three years. It is just the latest in a string of catastrophic floods and storm events to strike the nation. Across America and around the world heat waves and rainstorms are growing more intense — just as climate scientists have predicted for decades. At this point, climate change is screaming for our attention. But President Trump and congressional leaders have got their fingers in their ears, pretending that all will be well if only we would agree to deny climate science. That aversion to science is looking more and more like an invitation to a rolling planet-wide catastrophe. We've seen the future and it looks a lot like Houston. So, please send our leaders a wake-up call: Hurricanes Harvey and Irma must be the turning point in America's willingness to tackle climate change and aggressively pursue a clean energy future.We'll send your message to President Trump, Vice President Pence, cabinet officials, Congress, and your governor and state representatives, all of whom must act now and must know that we are watching them. The fossil fuel industry still has a financial stranglehold on far too many politicians. Here's the evidence:
- President Trump's proposed federal budget — which is now being negotiated by Congress — seeks to abolish nearly every climate change program on the books at the EPA, Department of Energy, and other key agencies.
- Agency officials like the EPA's Scott Pruitt are ignoring — or driving out — scientists we urgently need working on climate change and clean energy.
- The Trump administration is pulling America out of the Paris climate agreement and trying to dismantle the Clean Power Plan — our single best hope for speeding up the transition away from coal and other dirty fossil fuels.
- And the administration is ramping up efforts to drill for more oil and gas in the Arctic, off our coasts, and even in our cherished national monuments.
These attacks must stop, and after Hurricane Harvey, we must demand that President Trump, Congress, and even state and local leaders get serious about tackling climate change before it's too late. But make no mistake: we must do more than cut global warming pollution. Burning of fossil fuels has already locked us into more climate change — and more extreme weather. So it's absolutely crucial that, in the wake of Hurricane Harvey and with Irma approaching, we clean up and rebuild in a way that protects millions of people in vulnerable areas from future storms.That's why NRDC and the NRDC Action Fund are working closely with our partners in the Gulf region and around the country to address the recurring problems of flooding from record storms and sea level rise ... the toxic mess left behind by flooded petrochemical plants ... fighting back in Washington against short-sighted cuts to FEMA, the National Weather Service, NOAA, and other agencies that better prepare us for the impacts of climate change. And right now, we are pushing to fix the fatally flawed federal flood insurance program that continues to subsidize building in flood-prone areas. And we're working to reverse President Trump's decision, just days before Harvey hit, to abolish federal flood standards meant to protect people and property from storms like this. In the days and weeks ahead, we will call on members and supporters like you to ratchet up the pressure on political leaders to abandon policies that are making natural disasters like Hurricane Harvey even worse, and to win new, smarter policies that will better protect all Americans. But for now, please seize this moment to send a message demanding strong action on climate — for the sake of every person on this planet.Sincerely,  Rhea Suh President, NRDC  |
