Friends of wild places, As a board member of the West Virginia Wilderness Coalition, I'd like to invite you to a special event in celebration of the Birthplace of Rivers National Monument<http://www.birthplaceofrivers.org/> initiative and West Virginia's rich musical heritage. The citizen campaign to preserve the Birthplace of Rivers area of the Monongahela National Forest aims to establish the only National Monument in the Mountain State, and would protect an area of recreational, ecological and cultural significance, while bringing sustainable economic benefits to mountain communities. Please join us at the Irish Pub in downtown Lewisburg on Friday, February 22nd at 8 p.m. to celebrate this historic initiative and enjoy a sampling of some of the Greenbrier Valley's best traditional Appalachian music. Hear the sounds of Patrick O'Flaherty until 9p.m., followed by The Hell for Certain String Band, Allegheny Hellbenders and more! The event is sponsored by the West Virginia Wilderness Coalition and the Greenbrier River Watershed Association. Come out to learn about the great work these organizations do to protect our area's public lands and water resources. There is no charge for the event, but donations in support of our efforts are much-appreciated. Simply pay what you can and enjoy a fun evening of music and advocacy. Video: Greenbrier County fiddler Dennis Ott explains why preservation of the Birthplace of Rivers' landscape is connected to preservation of our musical roots<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vARFrzZ4Q-k> Special offer: For a limited time, supporters contributing $50 or more will receive a free 13"x19" hand-printed poster (image attached), compliments of WVWC Executive Director Mike Costello and Printedappalachia.com<http://www.printedappalachia.com/>. These original prints come straight from a hand-carved linoleum block, and retail for $30. Get yours today by contributing to WVWC's National Monument efforts!

More bad news, Court ruling on Mingo County Coal to liquid plant
by James Kotcon 20 Feb '13

20 Feb '13

The attached ruling on the air permit for the TransGas Coal-to-liquids plant sides with the Air Quality Board. It rules on procedural issues only, and concludes that the permit, as modified to meet the objections of the AQB, is valid. Jim Kotcon

Fwd: [GW-ACT-LEADERS] Fwd: Calculating the Nation's Annual Energy Efficiency Investments
by James Kotcon 19 Feb '13

Here is a link to a new study from ACEEE linking energy efficiency and costs. Anyone interested in talking knowledgeably on this issue should read this one. Please share widely. JBK ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Ned Ford <Ned.Ford(a)fuse.net> Date: Tue, Feb 19, 2013 at 12:21 PM Subject: [GW-ACT-LEADERS] Fwd: Calculating the Nation's Annual Energy Efficiency Investments To: CONS-SPST-GLOBALWARM-CHAIRS(a)lists.sierraclub.org This combines utility efficiency programs, which I think are the most powerful tool available to us, with the Federal Appliance Standards, which save more energy in the long run, but only get expanded when utility programs and other developments have done their work first. I hope it will be of interest to some of you. - Ned NEWS RELEASE Media Contact: Patrick Kiker 202.507.4043 ( tel:202.507.4043 ) pkiker(a)aceee.org Calculating the Nation's Annual Energy Efficiency Investments Today ACEEE released a new report, Calculating the Nation's Annual Energy Efficiency Investments ( http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001HDC1HJAbWod18HK3WB10s_SWcWXhAHnEihOhtLOJOWwf… ), that looks at spending in 2010 (the latest year for which data is available) in the U.S. on energy efficiency goods and services such as energy efficiency program expenditures, sales of ENERGY STAR products, investments in building efficiency improvements, repairs and new construction, trends in manufacturing energy use and investments, and sales of efficient vehicles. We found that the incremental cost of advancement in energy efficiency (e.g., upgrading from an average refrigerator to an ENERGY STAR model) was $72-$101 billion in 2010, and has delivered about three times the level of new energy services as conventional energy supply ($170 billion).

Fwd: So much love
by Jim Sconyers 18 Feb '13

18 Feb '13

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Bill McKibben - 350.org <organizers(a)350.org> Date: Sun, Feb 17, 2013 at 8:25 PM Subject: So much love To: Jim Sconyers <jimscon(a)gmail.com> Friends, Today was the day. Finally, powerfully, decisively -- the movement to stop climate change has come together. *This was the biggest climate change rally in US history.* By our count, 50,000 people gathered by the Washington Monument and then marched past the White House, demanding that President Obama block the Keystone XL pipeline and move forward toward climate action. <http://act.350.org/go/2748?t=1&akid=2744.570617.GUe0l-> (Click here to share this on Facebook<http://act.350.org/go/2748?t=2&akid=2744.570617.GUe0l-> ) There were many high points: Van Jones declaring that Keystone is the only presidential decision anyone will care about in 20 years; billionaire investor Tom Steyer laying out why it's a bad investment; Chief Jackie Thomas explaining the toll that the tar sands are taking on her neighbors, and promising that they would never allow a tar sands pipeline west to the Pacific. *But the real highlight was you.* Movements aren’t about leaders (though without Michael Brune of the Sierra Club, or Rev. Lennox Yearwood of the Hip Hop Caucus, this day would not have come off). Movements are about people — about all of us who put aside the things we have to do because we understand that the future is at stake. To see so many people make this a priority on a day when it would have been much easier (and warmer) to stay inside says a lot. We are making plans to put the momentum of this historic day to use, and you'll hear about them very soon -- but for now, I just want to say thank you to everyone who came to DC, everyone who gathered in the solidarity rallies around the country, and everyone who sent their good wishes and prayers. *You are the movement, and the movement is our best chance at making a difference on climate change.* With so much love, Bill McKibben, for 350.org ------------------------------ 350.org is building a global movement to solve the climate crisis.
