How long until Alaska’s next oil disaster? The compromise that passed the Inflation Reduction Act has Alaskans braced for catastrophe. Shadows of oil in Peru: Shipibo people denounce damage, contamination left by company: The Seldovia Village Tribe, other Cook Inlet residents, and concerned people around the country submitted scathing critiques through the public-comment process. The probability that development would lead to another large spill was officially estimated to be one in five; critics argued that the risk was far higher.

Local Opposition to Solar Project Leads to Cancellation in Ohio: A 400-megawatt solar array planned for the village of Williamsport, Ohio has been canceled following strong opposition from local residents and elected officials. The canceled project will mean a loss of renewable energy as well as $3.6 million per year of tax revenue that would have gone back into the local community. The project, called Chipmunk Solar, was developed by EDF Renewables. But local campaigning lead the company to formally withdraw its application in a filing on Thursday.

Biden releases most JFK assassination records, but withholds thousands: As Oswald interacted with DRE and became known as an activist who supported President Castro, the Pentagon was formulating a plan called Operation Northwoods to stage a false flag attack in the United States to blame on Cuba and justify a military confrontation to make up for the aborted Bay of Pigs fiasco two years before. The records and the CIA’s deceit over Joannides’ ties to Oswald spans decades and came to light only after the records act began to unearth information about him.

Joe Biden Can’t Quit the Saudi “Pariahs”: Two years into Biden’s presidency, it is crystal clear that the Saudis have nothing significant to fear from the U.S. government. For decades, Democratic and Republican administrations have propped up the Saudi monarchy, lathering it with weapons sales and intelligence sharing, all while normalizing the draconian, antidemocratic grip on power held by the monarchy.

After all, we saw widespread media coverage of the 36 states that introduced over 300 anti-LGBTQ laws or policies this year.

Natalie Koch: Arizona is in a race to the bottom of its water wells, with Saudi Arabia’s help: Arizona lawmakers must reform the state’s groundwater laws before it’s too late. Thanks to fresh scrutiny this year from state politicians, water activists and journalists, the Saudi agricultural giant Almarai has emerged as an unlikely antagonist in the water crisis. The company, through its subsidiary Fondomonte, has been buying and leasing land across western Arizona since 2014. This year The Arizona Republic published a report showing that the Arizona State Land Department has been leasing 3,500 acres of public land to Almarai for a suspiciously low price. The case has prompted calls for an investigation into how a foreign company wound up taking the state’s dwindling water supplies for a fee that might be as low as one-sixth the market rate.
