Iowa Utilities Board Decides to Cause Extinction: Raise Your Voice Now!



The IUB/Iowa Utilites Board has failed today:  The IUB was legally bound to verify that the  tar sands pipeline that Dakota Access and my UIB are ramming through Iowa illegally are both "necessary" and "convenient" ....but they have failed to prove the minimum standards for approval…...to meet minimum legal standards to push the "dirtiest fuel on earth" (McKibben 350.org)....toxic and deadly tar sands crushing and destroying some of the richest and most productive topsoil in the world, on earth.....Dakota Access bribing my IUB to approve the very dirty and deadly and toxic and messy and destructive tar sands pipeline today, 3/10/16.....the same day that 3 of the petroleum/fossil fuel industries ganged up on Our Children's Trust/OCT in Eugene Oregon to try to block the OCT litigation against the United States Government that promised in 1990 to lower carbon emissions....but has done little if nothing to try to lower carbon emissions that have caused catastrophic climate change/heating/chaos this decade, 3 to 5 of the most powerful frankenstorms ever to hit land in the last 3 to 5 years (mostly in the South Pacific)..... to destroy Iowa's rich agricultural heritage and the foundation of Iowa's productive economy that produces enough to help to feed the world....to rip apart lands and lives throughout Iowa.

Block this tragedy, Iowa.

Most ironic, Iowa's Republican Governor stood up and spoke out for clean energy action just weeks before this travesty....to sign a (US) Governor's Clean Energy Accord representing about 17 states and about 40 percent of the US Population.....to strive to work to lower global temperatures by reducing carbon emissions....to switch from dirty, fossilized dead energy as soon as possible ....and to work now to switch to Renewable Energy to free our nation and world from the catastrophic costs and consequences that Exxon and other fossilized dead energy industries are ramming down America's throats. 

The dirty, deadly tar sands industry is also ramming a dirty and deadly tar sands pipeline through Texas, also a national leader in wind energy.....even though the dirty dead tar sands industry is on life-support in critical care....and American Taxpayers are paying the outrageous and illogical bill....that Iowa is sending to you.

At the November IUB "public hearing".....I told the IUB that:
* solar energy could satisfy/meet/supply/produce enough energy to satisfy/meet all energy demands on earth x 11,000 (ETOM, 2013)....
* wind energy could satisfy/meet/supply/produce  enough energy to satisfy/meet/supply all energy needs on earth also numerous times (AWEA 2015)....
* water and waves could also satisfy/meet/supply/produce enough energy to satisfy/meet/supply all energy needs numerous times.


So why did the IUB even consider ramming a stupid and deadly tar sands pipeline through the heart of Iowa?



The IUB/Iowa Utilites Board has failed today 10 March 2016:  The IUB was legally bound to verify that the tar sands pipeline that Dakota Access and my UIB are ramming through Iowa illegally are both "necessary" and "convenient" ....but they have failed to do so....to meet minimum legal standards to push the "dirtiest fuel on earth" (McKibben 350.org)...diagonally through the heart of my Iowa, ramming
       toxic and deadly tar sands crud crushing and destroying some of the richest and most productive topsoil, lands and lives in the world, on earth.....
       Dakota Access bribing my IUB to approve the very dirty and deadly and toxic and messy and destructive tar sands pipeline today, 3/10/16.....the
       Dakota Access and other fossil fuel industries conspiring to attack voices defending our common climate by scheduling 2 landmark cases for climate on the same 2 days, March 9 to 10, 2016….same day that 3 of the petroleum/fossil fuel industries ganged up on Our Children's Trust/OCT in Eugene Oregon on 9 March 2016 to try to block the OCT litigation against the United States Government for failing to protect Our Children’s Trust….Public Trust Law to protect uncountable, inalienable, indivisible but critical flows cycles logic synergy productivity of by for life on earth including entire earth systems that buffer humans from extremes enough to grow life on earth….enough to survive and thrive….enough to hold our fragilew web for all life intact……..our US Government that promised in 1990 legislation to lower carbon emissions....but has done little if nothing to try to lower carbon emissions since then…..carbon emisions of the last 35 years, the last 150 years that have caused carbon levels to hit deadly levels causing catastrophic climate change/heating/chaos this decade, such as causing 3 to 5 of the most powerful frankenstorms ever to hit land in the last 3 to 5 years (mostly in the South Pacific).....
       A conspiracy of a cash-driven fossil fuel industry that limits its counts to mechanical rates of human cash…..blinding us to the costs and conseq    uences of actions…….to ram a dirty dead pipeline through Iowa to destroy Iowa's rich agricultural heritage and the foundation of Iowa's productive economy that produces enough to help to feed the world....to rip apart lands and lives throughout Iowa, America and our common world ….the IUB authorizing that shamefully.
       Most ironic, Iowa's Republican Governor stood up and spoke out for clean energy action just weeks before this travesty....to sign a (US) Governor's Clean Energy Accord representing about 17 states (mostly democratic governors) and about 40 percent of the US Population.....to strive to work to lower global temperatures to keep global heating under 1.5 to 2 degrees C (since the beginning of our human Industrial Revolution) by reducing carbon emissions....to switch from dirty, fossilized dead energy as soon as possible ....and to work now to switch to Renewable Energy to free our nation and world from the catastrophic costs and consequences that Exxon and other fossilized dead energy industries are ramming down America's throats. 
       Ironically, Iowa has become a leader  in Wind energy, Renewable Energy….producing more than 30% of Iowa’s energy needs with wind energy…..with bipartisan support for wind energy (renewable energy) from all Iowa Senators and Congresspersons….even Steve King (!)…..in our US Congress…..so this IUB act to destroy Iowa becomes puzzling  and perplexing and illogical..because their decision to allow Dakota Access to build a dirty and deadly tar sands pipeline through Iowa, the “dirtiest fuel on the planet” that means “game over” for our battle against extinction on earth (McKibben, 350.org)
       Ironically, Iowa has also become a leaders in risk management ….because during the Great Depression and during the Farm Crisis of the 1980s, those interested in managing risk came to Iowa to try to soften the blow of those hit by inhumane hardships….but our Iowa Utilities Board has just accepted immoral risks, costs and attacks on Iowa’s lives and lands….assuming erroneously that privatized cash profiteering justifies all.   But it does not and they are wrong, very, very wrong, wrong scientifically, wrong mathematically, wrong eco+nomically, wrong eco+logically, wrong morally and often wrong legally….though trying to rewrite human books of human history, human science, human law to sell the immoral to the unsuspecting of by for privatized cash profiteering for only 1%....at our public expense, taxpayer expense, our own childrens’ expense, our own expense stupidly.
       Fact:  Humans through history have    
o      PRIVATE/IMMEDIATE/OBVIOUS/CASH-DRIVEN/CONSUMPTIVE WORLDS OF ONLY ONE OBVIOUS NOW….humans have limited their vision and minds to the private, privatized/privatizing/immediate/obvious/everyday/glittery/shiny/noisy and mechanical rates of cash in one private bank account to buy or rent food/house/car and luxurious necessities…blinding humans often to the more
       Fact:  humans have limited counts and actions to consuming for private selves…..but also need
o      PUBLIC/LONG-TERM/COMPLEX WORLDS OF BOTH CASHFLOW (OF PRIVATE WORLDS) AND NATURE’S UNCOUNTABLE BUT CRITICAL FLOWS (PRODUCED BY NATURE FAR BEYOND THE OBVIOUS) hidden and complex/difficult long-range/long-term and public needs of their community/city/state/nation/world that often seem too far away to care….public worlds that need both human cash and critical flows of nature impossible to count in cash to survive…..cash to buy and sell public assets…hopefully of by for the many and the voices of the many…..and
       Fact:  humans need to nurture nature so that nature can nurture us and keep our human cities alive day to day and minute to minute….
o      LIFE’S AMAZING WEB FOR ALL LIFE INALIEANBLE INDIVISIBLE UNCOUNTABLE OF INFINITELY INTRICATE AND VAST WONDERS OF NATURE/LIFE THAT PRODUCE CRITICAL BUT UNCOUNTABLE FLOWS FOR EVERY LIVING CELL, SEED, SEEDLING, SOIL, SELF, SOUL, WHOLE TO CONSUME ENOUGH….AND TO CONSUME ENOUGH CRITICAL BUT UNCOUNTABLE FLOWS FOR LIFE ENOUGH TO PRODUCE ENOUGH TO KEEP HUMAN CITIES ALIVE DAY TO DAY AND MINUTE TO MINUTE….  life’s nature, nature’s life of amazing wonders and productivity to nurture every living cell, seed, seedling, soil, self, whole enough to grow and to produce abundant riches to count + to grow and produce  the critical but uncountable, inalienable, indivisible hidden flows cycles logic/genius synergy and productivity of by for life to reach up toward light of our sun enough to glow….to produce critical but uncountable flows of air water topsoil green life inalienable enough to keep human cities alive day to day and minute to minute…
       natures amazing but uncountable productivity of by for producing critical but uncountable flows of air as O2 of photosynthesis CO2 of respiration, water as O2, rich organic topsoil and soil+makers to grow green enough to grow food and shelter to count, life, nature’s abundant riches + critical flows cycles logic/genius synergy productivity enough  to reach up toward light of our sun enough grow upwards enough to lift all life up toward light of our sun enough to grow heaven on earth instead…
       ironically, our human cash system counts the most critical flows for life the least and the least critical stones and forces the most…..so our human cash system crushes the ability of life to grow upwards enough to produce critical flows enough to keep our cities alive day to day and minute to minute
       ironically, the cash-driven ram toxic and harsh forces into the many unsuspecting to destroy the many, sucking all down
       humans have used human cash sytems to build great human cities and great human civilizations for thousands of years….but human cashflow floods also crush the ability of nature to grow upwards toward light of our sun enough to produce abundance enough to count ……or to produce critical flows of air as photosynthetic green oxygen as O2 or water as H2O or rich, organic topsoil and soil+makers to grow green enough to grow food and shelter for humans to count and consume enough to keep human cities alive day to day and minute to minute…..
       so human cities rise and fall
       so human civilizations rise and fall because a cash-driven few limit our counts to mechanical rates of human cash that crush life on earth…
      
Block this tragedy, Iowa.

All hands on deck.   This is one of the most important legal battles in human history….


The dirty, deadly tar sands industry is also ramming a dirty and deadly tar sands pipeline through Texas, also a national leader in wind energy.....even though the dirty dead tar sands industry is on life-support in critical care....and American Taxpayers are paying the outrageous and illogical bill....that Iowa is sending to you.

At the November IUB "public hearing".....I told the IUB that:
* solar energy could satisfy/meet/supply/produce enough energy to satisfy/meet all energy demands on earth x 11,000 (ETOM, 2013)....
* wind energy could satisfy/meet/supply/produce  enough energy to satisfy/meet/supply all energy needs on earth also numerous times (AWEA 2015)....
* water and waves could also satisfy/meet/supply/produce enough energy to satisfy/meet/supply all energy needs numerous times.


Hey….I’m tired of protecting my children and life on earth and entire earth systems from those that limit their counts and values to mechanical rates of human cash that crush life on earth.

Curses on you…..but help my children survive before you go.

Obey The Rule of Law, my US Constitution, international laws and treaties, laws of science, laws of nature, moral laws of reciprocity.

But you need to reach farther than fossil fuel cash-driven dictates to do that.

Good luck.
