Walton’s Bill Grant – Deputy Commissioner of Energy?
January 25th, 2011
Just when I thought it couldn’t get any worse… and after yesterday’s Executive Order 11-04, oh my, that was pretty awful, then Dayton makes the choice of Bill Grant, Izaak Walton League, as Deputy Commissioner of Energy.
Bill Grant headed the Midwest Izaak Walton League, the “environmental” organization that through the years has given the utilities everything they want, and has received foundation grants (it is his last name after all) to promote the most reprehensible things… particularly transmission, transmission, transmission. They intervened in the CapX 2020 Certificate of Need (PUC Docket 06-1115) in favor of the project, what more need be said?
So did Dayton make this appointment with knowledge of, or not knowing:
$8.1 Million Wind on Wires grant from McKnight/Energy Foundation
“Wind on the Wires” website – remember, this is a subset of Walton’s, they’re on Walton’s payroll
Bill Grant – Sawmill Presentation – Promotion of Coal Gasification
And remember, Bill Grant has been on that Renewable Development Fund that gave Excelsior Energy $10 million in state money… and he’s the one who talks about “low carbon coal.” Give me a break…
How is this appointment in the public interest?

Environmentalists happy he supports renewable energy
Why do you think they call it ED?

Either way, it’s all the same, corporate whores who can’t get it up! Today, a little accountability.
Today Environmental Defense’s office in Washington D.C. was occupied and re-branded “Environmental Offense.” Yes, the office of ED was occupied by members of Global Justice Ecology Project, Global Forest Coalition, and Rising Tide North America and Rising Tide Ecuador. ED was scoured and tested by Green & Wash LLC, and awarded with a CRAP credit… Certified Realists for Atmospheric Privatization, that is…
Today, Environmental Defense, tomorrow, the Izaak Walton League/Wind on the Wires? The Doris Duke Foundation? (Doris Duke just dumped $750k into National Resources Defense Council for Cap & Trade). The Joyce Foundation? I hope they understand that we know who they are and we know what they’re doing!
The office was taped off as a Global Warming Crime Scene:
Here is the full statement in technicolor from Dr. Rachel Smolker, daughter of one of the founders of Environmental Defense, Robert E. Smolker, taken from the Global Justice Ecology Project site:
Why? What was he foreseeing? I think I understand now:
We cannot afford to wait, or to fail, or to only half succeed at this point.
