Per KRON4, Carla Portocarerro Rosso of Calabasas, California, thought she was reaching for her dog’s toy rope, and instead picked up a small snake lurking in her backyard. Despite the scare, she and the dog were fine. The rest of us? Not so much. Read more… More about Watercooler, Animals, Culture, Snake, and Rattlesnake

BIO, ABBC Members Ask Senators to Support Summertime E15 Use
WASHINGTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#RFS–More than 25 advanced biofuel producers and trade associations today
sent a letter to members of the Senate Environment and Public Works
Committee, asking them to support the Consumer and Fuel Retailer Choice
Act (S.517), the Biotechnology Innovation Organization (BIO) and
Advanced Biofuels Business Council (ABBC) announced.
Under current law, fuels containing 15 percent ethanol (E15) cannot be
sold during the summer driving season in many states. In 1990, Congress
limited the amount of evaporative emissions from vehicle fuel at 9
pounds per square inch (psi) Reid Vapor Pressure (RVP). At the time,
Congress specified that fuel with 10 percent ethanol (E10) would receive
a 1 psi RVP waiver, in recognition of E10‘s overall lower emissions
profile. The Consumer and Fuel Retailer Choice Act will extend the RVP
waiver to ethanol blends above 10 percent.
The letter states, in part:
“This legislation is vital to the advanced biofuels industry, which is
making significant progress in expanding production of advanced and
cellulosic biofuels. Fixing the RVP issue will ensure that E15 can be
sold year round in any state where E15 is approved and give our advanced
and cellulosic fuels an opportunity to compete at the pump.
“Moving to E15 not only reduces the cost of gasoline by between 5 and 15
cents per gallon, but also reduces emissions harmful to the environment.
Recent analysis from the Biotechnology Innovation Organization indicates
that in just the summer months E15 can reduce GHGs equivalent to taking
2.1 million vehicles off the road. In addition to the environmental
benefits, the Energy and Environmental Studies Institute has written
that E15 can lower the public health impacts from transportation
emissions like cancer and asthma.”
BIO’s recent analysis, “GHG Benefits of the Consumer and Fuel Retailer
Choice Act,” is available at http://ift.tt/2rk64tV.
The
analysis demonstrates that:
- Over the next 10 years, summer use of E15 can save between 7 million
and 10.4 million metric tons of CO2 equivalent GHG emissions. - The savings are equal to taking 1.4 million to 2.2 million cars off
the road over the 10-year period.

Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein describes the kind of people he wants to hire (GS)
Goldman Sachs’ reputation of exclusivity and high-salaries has made it the holy grail of bankers the world over.
But landing a job at the firm is no easy feat. In fact, getting hired by Goldman Sachs is more difficult than getting into Harvard. In 2015 the firm hired just 9,700 out of a pool of 313,000 applicants.
Lloyd Blankfein, the 150-year old investment bank’s CEO, shed some light on the type of workers the firm is looking for.
In a wide-ranging interview with Jeff Cunningham, a professor of global leadership at Thunderbird School of Management at Arizona State University, Blankfein discussed a number of topics including the 2008 financial crisis and the company’s image in an anti-business environment.
Blankfein also explained the skills and expertise he looks for in people on his team. “We look for wise people who are very successful and who have lived through stressful moments and came out the other side,” Blankfein said.
“Specific things: we try to make sure that we get diversity so that it reflects the diversity of our businesses and our people. And, frankly, we try to reflect the areas in the world in which our business is growing,” he added.
It’s not surprising that the firm is looking to diversify its ranks. As reported by Business Insider’s Portia Crowe and Andy Kiersz, more than 84% of the firm’s executives are white and only 21% are women.
But the firm appears to be committed to changing the makeup of its workforce. The bank requires each employee to complete an online diversity and inclusion training workshop every year. It also has a “Returnship” program to help women and others who’ve left the workforce return.

Trump’s Escape From His Paris Dilemma
While suspense continues over U.S. involvement in the Paris climate agreement, there is a dimension to the issue that President Trump’s deadlocked advisors should consider: The rest of the world many not want the United States at the table.
I have just returned from a meeting in Rome where I was the only American among two dozen climate-action advocates from Australia, Morocco, Germany, Italy and several other countries. The topic was how to accelerate the international effort to avoid catastrophic climate change.
As it turned out, the conversation was dominated by Trump’s upcoming decision on whether the United States will withdraw from the Paris deal. Everyone who expressed an opinion believed that Trump’s purge of President Obama’s climate policies has left the United States with little to contribute. In fact, in view of Trump’s denial that climate change is real, they suspect that the United States would be the skunk at the Paris party, slowing or even obstructing progress. Yet the international effort to confront climate change, still insufficient, is unlikely to succeed without the participation of the world’s second-largest carbon polluter.
There is a solution to this dilemma. It would tolerate Trump’s climate denial while still providing a meaningful contribution to the Paris accord. It would require no federal mandates, no expansion of the federal bureaucracy, and no new federal spending. It would support state rights and make America’s commitment to climate action come from the bottom-up rather than the top-down. The path forward looks like this:
First, Trump would decide that despite his personal feelings about climate change, it is in the best interests of the country to remain a constructive party to the Paris agreement. This would comply with the guidance the president has received from many corporate, state and local leaders, as well as the wishes of the large majority of the American people.
Second, the President would explain that he still does not support the top-down approach of federal mandates and regulations. Instead, he would allow his administration to be an honest broker for the energy and climate commitments made by states, localities and U.S. corporations.
The president would encourage states, cities and businesses to submit their voluntary, non-binding commitments on reducing and sequestering greenhouse gas emissions to the Environmental Protection Agency. EPA would aggregate them and calculate their anticipated impact on national emissions.
Next, EPA would combine these commitments with any federal mitigation measures that are upheld by the courts or approved by Congress. The result would be the United States’ non-binding commitment to the international community under the terms of the Paris accord.
Currently, while the United Nations allows states, cities and businesses to observe what nations do under the UN’s Framework Convention on Climate Change, these subnational entities do not have a seat at the negotiating table. The Trump plan would elevate the status of grassroots leadership in the United States.
In reality, whether in this Congress and White House or in the next, the federal government must have a significant role in U.S. climate action. Some necessary policies simply make most sense at the federal level. But right now, federal leadership is backsliding rapidly under Trump’s assault. Thankfully, that does not mean the United States has nothing to contribute to the international collaboration to prevent a permanent climate catastrophe.
In my next post, I’ll explain why I think states, cities and businesses would rally to this approach.
