EMAILS SHOW HOOSICK FALLS MAYOR COORDINATED WITH POLLUTER—Albany Times Union’s Brendan Lyons: “The email from Saint-Gobain underscores the close relationship that developed between village leaders, especially Borge, and the company that may be partly responsible for the pollution. The email is one of dozens exchanged between the mayor and Saint-Gobain officials since the toxic chemical, perfluorooctanoic acid, was discovered in the village's water system in the fall of 2014. The emails were released to the Times Union recently under a Freedom of Information Law request filed in January. The documents also confirm there were efforts to conceal the village's decision to retain a public relations firm, Behan Communications, which began providing advice to Borge and the village in December, including how to answer questions from reporters.” http://bit.ly/1WjhRkX

FIRE OFFICIALS SEE END TO OIL SANDS BLAZE — The Associated Press: “Officials said Sunday they reached a turning point in fighting an enormous wildfire, hoping to get a ‘death grip’ on the blaze that devastated Canada’s oil sands town of Fort McMurray amid cooler temperatures.” http://wapo.st/275LvNI
GROUPS SEEK END TO SEISMIC BLASTING OFF ATLANTIC — Wayne Parry of the Associated Press: “It’s been compared to hearing dynamite explode, or standing next to a jet engine. Seismic surveying involves blasting the ocean floor with sound waves that bounce off the sea bed and are recorded by ships. It’s extremely useful in finding deposits of oil and natural gas. But there is concern that it can be harmful to marine life, including endangered whales, turtles and dolphins.” http://wapo.st/1rHLLSr

NEW SAUDI OIL CHIEF: PUMP BABY PUMP — Bloomberg’s Anthony Dipaola: “Saudi Arabia will probably keep producing crude at near-record levels under its newly appointed oil minister, Khalid Al-Falih, as the world’s largest exporter sticks with his predecessor’s policy of defending market share against higher-cost shale.” http://bloom.bg/275NAsM
ISIS’ ENERGY MOGUL — The Wall Street Journal: “In Syria, George Haswani sees himself as a patriot. In the West, he is a wanted man.

** A Message from Nuclear Matters: New York’s existing nuclear energy plants provide 61 percent of the state’s carbon-free electricity and play a vital role in achieving our clean-energy and carbon-reduction goals. Additional premature retirements of safe, reliable nuclear energy plants mean New Yorkers would pay more for electricity, the economy would suffer and we would face substantially higher carbon emissions.
New York has taken an essential step forward to address the premature closures of our nuclear energy plants. The proposed development of a Clean Energy Standard by the Public Service Commission would, for the first time, ensure that existing nuclear plants are valued for their carbon-free attributes.
We urge the state to include all of New York’s existing nuclear energy plants, regardless of their geography in the state, in the proposed Clean Energy Standard. All nuclear energy facilities bring significant reliability and clean-air benefits to New York. Learn more: NuclearMatters.com. **
