The fraudsters should spend the rest of their lives paddling up the river if they're caught and sentenced.  Speaking of such, I'd be checking groups like Just Stop Oil and any other green radical groups. :jail:

Politics/Government / Wildfire survivors blocked from FEMA assistance due to fraud

Wildfire survivors blocked from FEMA assistance due to fraud
 
Carol and Kathy DeCastro showed up bright and early at Pasadena City College hoping to get some assistance and relief after evacuating from their Altadena home — with a couple of belongings and the clothes on their back after the wildfires.

The elderly Filipina American sisters were turned away after learning identity thieves stole their information. Someone else used Carol DeCastro’s name for Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) assistance, thereby disqualifying the DeCastros from receiving aid.
 
Kathy DeCastro told AsAmNews that her sister Carol is disabled, and they live on a fixed income. Kathy DeCastro, who is also her sister’s caretaker, expected to help Carol get benefits, as FEMA typically allows one head of household — which would be Carol — to apply for the entire household’s assistance package, with few exceptions.

“They asked for her information — the name, the address, the birthday, the social, all that stuff,” Kathy DeCastro explained. “And then, the lady goes, ‘Oh, she cannot go through because there’s already a duplicate application, which I think they applied for last Sunday,’ and I go, ‘We didn’t apply last Sunday.’”

Biden commutes sentences for nearly 2,500 non-violent drug offenders convicted on crack cocaine-related charges
Story by Samantha Waldenberg, Alejandra Jaramillo and Marshall Cohen, CNN • 1h

President Joe Biden is granting clemency for nearly 2,500 non-violent drug offenders in his final days in office, placing a focus on sentencing disparities for crack cocaine-related crimes.

“Today, I am commuting the sentences of nearly 2,500 people convicted of non-violent drug offenses who are serving disproportionately long sentences compared to the sentences they would receive today under current law, policy, and practice,” Biden said in a statement Friday. “Today’s clemency action provides relief for individuals who received lengthy sentences based on discredited distinctions between crack and powder cocaine, as well as outdated sentencing enhancements for drug crimes.”
 
The clemency decision will benefit federal prisoners convicted of crack cocaine-related crimes, who have been serving disproportionately long sentences compared to those convicted of powder cocaine offenses, reflecting changes in the law aimed at reducing racial disparities.

World's largest battery plant on fire in Central California
Story by Camille von Kaenel • 4h

Monterey County authorities issued evacuation orders Thursday night after a fire broke out at a battery storage facility along the Central Coast that the company claims is the largest in the world.

Vistra Energy, which owns the natural gas-fueled Moss Landing Power Plant and adjoining lithium-ion battery facility on the Monterey County coast, confirmed in an email a fire had broken out in one of its batteries Thursday afternoon and that it had evacuated on-site personnel.
 
“The cause of the fire has not yet been determined, but an investigation will begin once the fire is extinguished,” said spokesperson Jenny Lyon.

The Monterey County Sheriff had earlier told nearby residents to close windows “out of an abundance of caution.” The California Highway Patrol also closed Highway 1 around the plant.

‘Big oil’s negligence’: LA residents call on fossil fuel industry to pay for wildfire damages
Story by Dharna Noor • 11h

As Los Angeles’s deadly wildfires continue to burn, a group of survivors is taking aim at the industry most responsible for fueling climate disasters: fossil fuels.

Residents impacted by the blazes lamented during a Thursday conference call losing their homes and communities and called for litigation and policies that could force big oil to pay for the damages. In the coming days, lawmakers will introduce legislation with that aim in mind.
 
“It is hard to properly express how much was lost,” said Danielle Havanas, whose home was destroyed by the Palisades fire last week. “How do you communicate the value of your deceased mom’s journal from 1981 when she was pregnant with you?”

Scientists are still working to determine the degree to which the climate crisis exacerbated the ongoing Los Angeles fires, but existing research makes clear that global warming creates the conditions for more severe and frequent fires. And UCLA climate scientists this week determined that the climate crisis was likely responsible for a quarter of the dryness that fueled the fires’ rapid spread.
