RECRUITING A GREAT TEAM IS REALLY SIMPLE. WE HIRE THE BEST
A Growing Multi Media Company Based in Garden City Is Hiring:
The Franklin Square Historical Society is set to open the doors to its new museum to the public, displaying, among many artifacts, a chandelier that once illuminated the auditorium at Monroe Street School during the 20th century. “The Monroe Street School brass chandelier is one of three which once illuminated the auditorium of Monroe Street School, a place on the north side of the building,” said Dr. Paul Van Wie, the society’s founder and president. The chandeliers were part of the auditorium in 1925-1926, when the auditorium itself was added to the original 1912 structure. Donated to the historical society when the school was demolished in 1980, the chandeliers were placed in storage for thirty-six years. In 2016, when they were rewired and restored for placement in the new museum through funding from the Franklin Square Girl Scouts. During the early design of the museum in the 2000s, the chandeliers were fea________

tured in the organization’s planning process. After being fully illuminated for the first time in their new home in 2017, the chandeliers are set to be “a stately focus of the main exhibition space in the museum,” van Wie said in a statement. “The chandeliers are and were intended to be, a symbolic bridge between the architectural heritage of the Franklin Square community and the new museum facility,” van Wie continued. Twenty years after deciding to design a brand-new museum building near Rath Park, the museum’s planned 2020 opening was delayed by the coronavirus pandemic. The museum officially opened one year later, in late April. During the spring, the historical society invited its members to the museum in small groups for 20-minute tours. The original plan was to open the museum to the public by late summer, and is slated to open soon for public tours.

The Franklin Square Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 2718 is holding a ceremony at Rath Park on Veterans Day, Nov. 11, to honor U.S. veterans. “Come out and show respect,” said VFW Post 2718 Commander John Conway, urging members of the community to attend the ceremony, which he said has received low turnout in recent years. “They did a lot for our country,” said Franklin Square Civic Association Treasurer Frank Culmone, who added that
both his father and father-in-law fought in World War Two, in France and Africa and Italy, respectively. “Our veterans need recognition because they put their lives on hold and on the line for us and country,” Culmone said. “It’s important to take time to remember them.” The hour-long ceremony will be held near the Rath Park gazebo and September 11 monument at 11:11 a.m., the time when the peace treaty signed between the Allies of World War One and Germany went into effect.

Fundations’ curriculum focuses on ‘building blocks’ of reading By ROBERT TRAVERSO rtraverso@liherald.com
School was visited by Colica, who led a lesson that day with second graders that focused on practicing “trick words,” such as “both,” “full,” and “walk,” the district’s statement said. Colica also called each student in the class to the front of the room to participate in Leva’s “Word Wheel” on the classroom’s smart board, which required students to read words aloud. The day’s lesson concluded with a
read-aloud and a writing activity. “Feedback has been positive from the teachers that we have met with, and the students seem eager and engaged during the model lessons,” Ms. Colica added. Throughout the school year, Colica and DeRuvo plan to offer support to the district’s teachers through walk-throughs, meetings and courses regarding the ‘Fundations’ curriculum.

Elmont schools plan to expand the districtwide ‘Fundations’ curriculum, a program designed to bolster the reading skills of students, to include second grade students during the 2021-2022 school year, according to a statement released by the Elmont Union Free School District. “Currently, for each building we are pushing in to execute a model lesson for all the Grade 2 teachers and any teachers new to the program this year,” said Gina Colica, a districtwide instructional coach leading the program along with fellow instructional coach Kate DeRuvo. Following the model lesson, a ‘Fundations’ lesson led by second grade teachers will be observed by the Colica and DeRuvo. “Fundations is a multisensory approach to the five building blocks of reading,” the school district explained in the statement. The curriculum focuses on phonemic awareness, word study, phonics, vocabulary development, comprehension and fluency. The ‘Fundations’ curriculum consists of an approximately 30-minute daily lesson for kindergarten to second grade students across each of Elmont’s six schools.

Hewlett Senior Football WITH THE EXCEPTION of driving the team bus back to Hewlett, Winkler did it all for the Bulldogs on Oct. 22 when they defeated Lynbrook, 33-14, in a pivotal Conference III game. The secondyear starting quarterback rushed for 211 yards and a touchdown on 16 carries and also threw a 44-yard touchdown pass to Mekhi Jean-Baptiste. On defense, Winkler made 11 tackles and forced a fumble, and on special teams he blocked a field-goal try.

A Nassau Conference II football game not played between Long Beach and Valley Stream Central in Week 7 affected Elmont as much as it did the Marines and Eagles. Based on the county’s power ranking system, the Spartans would’ve leapfrogged the loser of that game and into seventh place in the standings. Although the top eight qualified for the playoffs, avoiding five-time defending county champion Garden City in the first round was important for all postseason hopefuls. Now Elmont (4-4) gets to face the Trojans a second straight week after being handed a 34-0 loss in last Saturday’s regular-season finale. “We went from being locked into the 7 with an outside chance at 6 to being locked into 8,” Elmont head coach Jay Hegi said. “Our season turned out to be pretty predictable according to the seeds. We beat all the teams we were supposed to beat and we lost to the teams seeded above us.” Garden City (8-0), which saw head coach Dave Ettinger receive a warning from the Nassau County sportsmanship committee for lopsided scores, has outscored opponents by a silly 347 to 20 margin. “It’s the best Garden City team I’ve seen in 20 years, and they’ve had some great teams,” Hegi said. “They look to beat you by winning the field-position and turnover battles. They do a really good job at both.” It was the battle of special teams the Spartans won by a wide margin in their 56-21 homecoming victory over Roslyn on Oct. 23. They had three kickoff returns for a score and capped the day with Eric Burkett’s 80-yard punt return for a touchdown. In addition, kickers Gustavo Hernandez-Moreno and Davidson Ba LaFortune both went 4-for-4 on extra-point tries. Senior quarterback Evan Colwell, who has 14 total touchdowns on the season, connected with Rashaun Stephens Jr. and Kymani Lewis on passing scores covering 16 and 46 yards, respectively, in the second quarter to build a 14-0 cushion. “Evan’s an elusive runner who has struggled a little bit passing at times, but he’s our best overall player and having a big year,” Hegi said of Colwell, who is also the defense’s second-leading tackler.

SENIOR TYLER MEYERS is the leading rusher for the Spartans, who split eight regular-sea-
son games and head into the playoffs against five-time defending county champ Garden City. After Dylan Goodman scored his first of three touchdowns for Roslyn to cut the margin to 14-7, Elmont’s Justus Nathaniel took the ensuing squib kickoff 52 yards for a touchdown to up the lead to 21-7. The Spartans led 28-14 at halftime on leading rusher Tyler Meyers’ 55-yard touchdown. Isiah Davis took the second-half kickoff 81 yards and the lead was 35-14 heading into the fourth. Osagie Ekhator answered Goodman’s third touchdown by

bringing back the kickoff 60 yards to paydirt. Ba LaFortune added two interceptions. Elmont’s other victories came against Sewanhaka (38-20), Long Beach (8-7 on a late touchdown and two-point conversion), and Herricks. The Spartans’ defense is being led by linebacker Kymani McDonald, its leading tackler, while junior lineman Precious Ekeh has been a two-way force.

Remembering Kristallnacht in the village By ROBERT TRAVERSO rtraverso@liherald.com
Congregation Shaaray Shalom in West Hempstead will hold a virtual ceremony to remember Kristallnacht, a night of violence committed 80 years ago by German Nazis against Jewish people, on Nov. 7. “We will once again hear and see the video testimonies of seven of our shul’s many survivors. Their stories are profound and personal,” a statement released by the congregation said about the event, which will honor members of the West Hempstead congregation who survived the Holocaust. “These are our friends, our fellow congregants – people who inspired us for years. Let’s reconnect with them as we remember the Shoah,” the statement added, referring to the “catastrophe” of Kristallnacht and the mass murder of Jewish people during World War II. The attacks, which began on Nov. 10, 1938, are referred to as “Kristallnacht,” or “the night of broken glass,” because of the broken glass that was left in the streets that night. The commemoration is being held
at a time when many Americans are not informed about the Holocaust. A nationwide survey conducted by the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany found that 31 percent of Americans, including 41 percent of millennials, said that 2 million or fewer – rather than 6 million -Jews were killed in the Holocaust. Additionally, 66 percent of millennials do not know that Auschwitz was a concentration camp. Hate crimes against Jews have been on the rise in recent years. In fact, hate crimes targeting Jewish people comprised 57.5 percent of all religious bias crimes in 2020, according to FBI crime statistics. During the most recent conflict between Israel and Gaza in May, the Anti-Defamation League found 222 incidents of anti-Semitic harassment, vandalism and violence in the United States, compared with 127 over the previous two weeks. The congregation’s commemoration of Kristallnacht will be held on Zoom at 7 p.m. Sunday. Call (516) 4817448 or visit the congregation’s website at www.shaarayshalom.org for more information about the commemoration.

lence during Domestic Violence Awareness Month. “Nassau County continues to expand services and provide unwavering support for victims of abusive relationships, while working on the grass-roots level to break the cycle with education and early intervention like the Safe Dates program,” Curran, who was accompanied by Elmont High officials, said, according to the statement. The county, she said, was committed to implementing the Safe Dates program in schools in communities of color Nassau, in an effort to address the “disproportionate impact domestic and dating violence has on black and brown teens,” the statement said. A report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that students of color are often more likely to face teen dating violence. “Sexual minority groups are disproportionately affected by all forms of violence,” the report said, “and some racial/ethnic minority groups are disproportionately affected by many types of violence.” The recent murder of Gabby Petito of Long Island, apparently by her boyfriend, was noted at the announcement to highlight the dangers of abusive relationships. “The recent tragic death of 22-year-old Gabby Petito has underscored the importance of ensuring our young people recognize the red flags of an unhealthy relationship and arming them with the tools to develop healthy ones,” Curran said, according to the statement.

As part of their commitment, each district will receive New York State funding and technical assistance to support the leadership development and growth of new MBK fellows.

We want to add a two-story addition to the house if we can avoid raising it. What do you suggest, and how can we avoid lifting the house, which we think will make our plans unaffordable?

New and Amazing Home
I
f looking for a home is your dilemma, then look no further than this beauty on Emma Street. This diamond 4 bedroom, 3 bath Colonial located in Wantagh Woods features a new eat-in-kitchen with quartz counters and island, new bathroom with designer rain shower head. Custom wainscoting and tray ceilings as well as crown molding, hi-hats, gleaming hardwood floors, new roof, 150amp electric, 2 zone CAC and gas hot water heater. The master bedroom has 2 walk in closets with built in closet organizer. The full finished basement has a separate outside entrance, full bath. MUST SEE AT $849.999
A. You probably should have asked this question before the purchase, not after. In general, the Federal Emergency Management Agency requirement is that the building must be mitigated, made resilient to the potential of flooding, if either the dollar amount or area to be added on or worked on exceeds 50 percent of the existing buildonte eeper ing. That was what the official was telling you. People are often in denial about the extremes they will need to go through, and think this issue is negotiable. Buying a house in a flood zone with the intention of making major changes or additions isn’t a good idea if you aren’t prepared for the expense of major lifting to get the habitable level at least 2 feet above the base flood level for the zone the house is in. When I meet with people who are proposing to do any kind of major work in a flood zone, I often have to deal with seeing the disappointment in their faces followed by the discussion of how their project is either going to be the exception or nowhere near the threshold of where a house would need to be lifted. People buying in a flood zone need to be made aware before purchase that they may as well be ready for the possibility of an eventual lift of the entire home. The basement is required to be filled so that the area below the house can drain by gravity with special flood vents. If you weren’t prepared for these expenses, then you’re going to have to make a hard decision. It’s possible to do less work and phase things in over time so you don’t meet the 50 percent threshold, doing part of your master plan now, more in a year or two, etc. But don’t do anything without discussion and agreement with the building official who will be in a position to decide whether the amount of work isn’t exceeding the threshold, and what waiting time must be taken before filing for a permit for the next phase. This isn’t necessarily the “spirit” of the regulation, but some municipalities will work with you to help out so you don’t go broke trying to meet your needs. Understand that safety and survival of an extreme storm condition are still a primary intention of how your home should be designed and approved. Without all this effort, we would all be paying the price to rescue people, paying in taxes over and over. Good luck!

OPINIONS
must confess that the older I get, the more time I spend thinking about all of the crises our country has endured in my lifetime. I was a young boy when America was going through the horrors of World War II. As I progressed from career to career, the nation had to deal with wars in Korea and Vietnam and the tragedy of the Sept. 11 terrorist attack. All of these events had one thing in common. The people of America were totally united and determined to fight our enemies. JERRY I think of those challenging KREMER days and contrast them with the nation’s response to the coronavirus disaster. If you look at a national map showing the vaccination rates of the states, it looks almost identical to a political map highlighting the red states and blue states. With a few exceptions, the states populated by a majority of registered Republicans have the lowest rate of vaccinations, in contrast to states dominated by Democrats.
W
If you look at states like New York, Rhode Island, Maine, New Hampshire and New Jersey, the vaccination rates are in the 66 to 70 percent range. Most of the time those states support Democratic candidates over their Republican challengers. In sharp contrast, states such as Wyoming, Idaho, North Dakota, West Virginia, Mississippi and Alaska are in the 40 per cent range. All of those states are considered solidly Republican. While crowded hospital intensive-care units are a distant memory for New Yorkers, people are dying in record numbers in red states for the sake of partisan politics. Not a day goes by without a story about some red state governor screaming about vaccine mandates and telling his or her citizens that it is their choice whether to get vaccinated or not for Covid protection. The irony of the state resistance to vaccinations is that all of their schoolchildren have been required to get a series of vaccinations in order to attend their local schools. I contrast the craziness of these grandstanding politicians with stories from across the Atlantic Ocean. Recent
P
reports from overseas highlight the fact that many of those countries are far ahead of the U.S. in vaccinating their residents. Portugal is a good example, because their vaccination rates tell an interesting story. According to the Wall Street Journal, close to 100 percent of people over age 50 in Portugal have received at least one vaccine dose. For those between ages 25 and 49, the rate is 95 percent. To date, 89 percent of the entire population of 10 million has had at least one dose. And Portugal’s high numbers are surpassed by the United Arab Emirates, which exerts strong control over its residents. The owner of a souvenir shop in Lisbon, Portugal, stated the best case for why our red states should be pushing for their people to be vaccinated. “I need tourists,” said Paula Margues. “Otherwise I have no business.” Places like Wyoming, Idaho, North Dakota and Alaska need tourism to keep their economies stable, and they spend millions each year to attract visitors. Instead of pushing for a healthy populace, their leaders spend most of their days battling federal mandates and looking for
artisan bickering over a vaccine will be recorded as a low point in our history.
ways to attract the approval of former President Donald Trump. There is another ironic twist to the red state resistance to vaccinations. Most of the people who are dying of Covid are also their favored voters. While the overall death numbers are small in comparison with the Eastern states, red state governors are allowing their people to suffer needlessly because of government inaction and the numerous false claims of anti-vaccine groups. This is pure government malpractice. I hope that in the not-too-distant future, the coronavirus pandemic will become nothing but a memory. But the partisan bickering over a life-or-death solution will be recorded as one of the bleakest times in the history of our country. Our citizens have every right to stand up for their personal beliefs, but not at the expense of millions of people whose lives were lost because politics got in the way. Jerry Kremer was a state assemblyman for 23 years, and chaired the Assembly’s Ways and Means Committee for 12 years. He now heads Empire Government Strategies, a business development and legislative strategy firm. Comments about this column? JKremer@liherald.com.

We could exhaust ourselves with political knife fights or try to figure out how our Great American Democracy came to hinge on the advice and consent of a fractious group of legislators, but we have all winter for that. RANDI We still have KREISS November and early December. There is practical stuff to consider during these weeks. I don’t feel like watering my annuals anymore, being lazy and more inclined to let them wither and die, but I feel guilty. How many more days do they have to enjoy their favorite activity, photosynthesis? So although they are ragged and quite pathetic, I douse them once in a while as an end-of-life gesture. It’s pretty much each living thing on
its own. The trees and big bushes had better be hardy enough to withstand a tough winter, because we don’t believe in coddling the plant life with fertilizer or plastic protection from the elements. We do close the windows in our porch and throw covers over the outdoor grill and chairs, but that’s about it in the way of preparation. Come the first cold snap, we’ll turn on the heat. For now, however, on good days the windows are open, and fresh air blows through the house. I feel a certain urgency to get out and do some of the activities I put off because, after all, we had “all summer.” So, come along and cash in on these warmenough days. Head for the boardwalk or the park for a brisk walk; before too long, we’ll be walking against the chilly winds of late November and December. Before too long, we’ll need hats and gloves to venture outside. Get out of town. I like the Lower East Side of Manhattan, where I can walk around the area where my great-grandparents began their life in America. The city beckons, with its pedestrian-friend-
C
ly districts and communities, and now is the time to go and walk, from the High Line to Battery Park. You can almost pretend that Covid doesn’t exist if you stay outside and dine at food stands. You can almost pretend that “surge” and “spike” and “antivax” aren’t part of the lexicon. In a few weeks, our city streets will become wind tunnels, inhospitable to the daytripper. Another perfect fall destination is the East End, to visit the vineyards and the corn mazes and experience the last perfect days on the beach. The crowds are gone and the restaurants are still open. Or head north a bit and pick apples. When my kids were young, that was probably our favorite fall activity. Recently my husband and I went back to one of the orchards we knew, and it had become overcrowded and commercial. But there are still growers who allow picking, and it’s worth a ride to wander through an orchard, pick a bag or a bushel and head home to make applesauce or cakes and pies. This is the moment. Soon the apples will be done
ash in on these warm-enough days before we break out the hats and gloves.
and it will be too cold to wander anywhere north of Westchester. Back home again, it’s time to plant bulbs for next spring. This is much more than guaranteeing a bit of color next May and June. It feels like an investment in the future, a declaration that come what may in January and February, we know the seasons will turn again, the sun will drift further north and the tulips will bloom. I think of it as an act of faith. In the same way, I spend some of these days preparing soup and packing it away in containers for the cold nights when I may not feel like cooking. Maybe that’s a little bit squirrely of me, storing food away for the hard times, but it feels good to do so. Kids are in school, beach clubs are closed and the days are getting shorter. Still, we have this autumn interlude. With all the tumult in the world, these few days seem like a metaphor for grasping what is good in our lives when we can, because we can. Something about knowing this time is finite propels me out the door and into the ebbing light. Copyright 2021 Randi Kreiss. Randi can be reached at randik3@aol.com.

Setting the record straight on county policing
F
our years ago, as the race for Nassau County executive between then Legislator Laura Curran, a Democrat, and then State Sen. Jack Martins, a Republican, was heating up, the state Republican Party attempted an all-too-common GOP political tactic: It tried to paint Democrats as weak on crime, saying Curran would allow the notorious El Salvadoran gang MS-13 to run wild across the county. The GOP did so in a last-minute mailer that showed three shirtless, tattooed Hispanic men grimacing angrily. The flier, mailed to homes across Nassau, read, “Meet your new neighbors. Laura Curran will roll out the welcome mat for violent gangs like MS-13.” The flier, which was inherently racist, came at a time when fears of MS-13 were running high after young Hispanic men, hacked to death with machetes by the gang, were found buried in the woods in Baldwin, Freeport, Merrick and Massapequa. It was a low blow that played to voters’ basest fears. And it was wrong. Voters saw past the Republicans’ attempt to win by any means possible, electing Curran, and MS-13 never overran Nassau, as predicted. In fact, we’ve heard little of the gang since a series of high-profile arrests of numerous gang leaders. Thankfully, we had had, as of press time Monday, relatively little of such political chicanery. Curran’s opponent this time around, Town of Hempstead Councilman Bruce Blakeman, was laserfocused on lambasting Curran over the county’s property-tax reassessment, and said relatively little about crime. During an endorsement interview with the Herald editorial board leading up to the election, however, Blakeman tried to make it sound as though Nassau was not, in fact, the “safest county in America” two years in a row, as judged by U.S. News & World Report. There had been an explosion of crime during the coronavirus pandemic, he said, that was not factored into the magazine’s rankings. He ticked off a list of recent violent crimes, wondering why they had not garnered greater media attention. That got us thinking: Is Nassau really as safe as the magazine says it is? Curran made public safety a cornerstone of her campaign, and regularly touted the U.S. News assessment. Nassau, we found, is indeed a very safe place to live. We could not undertake the county-by-county assessment that the magazine did. We did, however, look into the crime statistics for 2020 and 2021, Nassau County Police Department precinct by precinct. And, we are pleased to report, crime — particularly violent crime — has

been astonishingly low here the past two years. Nassau’s murder rate was 1.22 per 100,000 people in 2020. The nationwide average was, by comparison, 7.8 per 100,000, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That is not to say there is no violent crime here. This is not the Mayberry of “The Andy Griffith Show.” This is one of the country’s most densely populated counties — with nearly 1.35 million people — outside the largest city in the nation, so we expect to see crime. We cannot dispute the claim, though, that Nassau is either the safest or one of the safest large counties in the country. At press time, we had no idea who would win the county executive’s seat. The Herald endorsed Curran this year, as we did four years ago. Unlike 2017, she had a record to run on this time, and when it came to policing, she made the grade. So, win or lose, we should thank her for her continual support for the men and women
in blue who patrol our streets and keep us safe. Blakeman attempted to link Curran to the movement to defund police. In no way, however, did she ever promote a plan that would reduce funding for our police force. Quite the opposite. Throughout her first four years in office, she touted a singular message: She unequivocally supported the NCPD. At the same time, she was able to win a concession from police, who agreed, finally, to wear body cameras in exchange for an annual stipend. It was an important win for police accountability. We now encourage whoever wins the county executive’s seat to seek greater diversity in the police ranks. The latest class of police cadets to go through the academy this year, while more diverse than past classes, was still largely white. That must change as Nassau’s demographics change. We hope and trust that it will. If it does not, residents must demand reform.

OPINIONS
T
he United Nations Climate Change Conference in Glasgow, Scotland, began last Sunday and will run through Nov. 12. Participants will include more than 190 government representatives and business leaders who are expected to discuss efforts to ensure that countries and companies live up to climatechange agreements made at the 2015 Paris climate conference. Former Secretary of State John Kerry, now the special presidential envoy for climate change, is ALAN heading the U.S. delegation, which SINGER includes several members of President Biden’s cabinet. Biden, who is also scheduled to attend, reportedly plans to call on nations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in order to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius — a still-devastating number. Long Islanders should pay close attention to this conference, because climate change will likely have a profound effect here, given that it’s causing sea levels to rise, and we live on an island. Unfortunately, the Biden administration has so far been unable to pass its ambitious climate agenda in the Senate. Climate villains include Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin, of West Virginia, and virtually every Republican in the Senate
and House. Manchin’s political career is funded largely by fossil fuel companies, and he owns millions of dollars in coal company stock. He is trying to force the Biden administration to drop renewableenergy subsidies from the federal budget. American corporations often claim they are good environmental citizens. According to Alberto Carrillo Pineda of the Science Based Targets initiative, however, “You can look at a company’s website and see their sustainability report and it will look great, but then when you look at what is behind it, you’ll see there is not a lot of substance behind those commitments, or the commitments are not comprehensive enough.” A recently released report by the Private Equity Stakeholder Project highlights how the short-term hunt for profit and market manipulation make U.S. finance one of the world’s biggest climate villains. While countries, including the U.S., are plagued by drought, forest fires and hurricanes because of climate change, the secretive private equity industry has invested more than a trillion dollars during the last decade in fossil-fuel companies. Virtually singlehandedly, the industry keeps some of the worst-polluting oil wells, natural gasleaking towers and coal-burning power plants pumping greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Three of the corporate players high-

apitalists pollute and warm the earth, but socialist countries don’t do much better.
LETTERS East Side Access is a year from completion To the Editor: I recently joined Metropolitan Transportation Authority officials to take a special Long Island Rail Road test train to Grand Central Terminal, giving the public one of the first looks at the new 350,000-square-foot East Side Access passenger terminal there. This is the largest new train terminal to be built in the United States since the 1950s and the first expansion of the LIRR in more than 100 years. Together with the LIRR third-track project, the new connection will add 50 percent to the LIRR’s capacity into Manhattan, with up to 24 trains per hour, and cut travel time for Queens and Long Island commuters traveling to the East Side by 40 minutes per day. It will also reduce crowding on commuter rail at Penn Station and on the subway by dispersing commuters and allowing passengers to go directly to Grand Central Ter minal from destinations across Queens and Long Island. The new com-
lighted in the Private Equity Stakeholder Project report are the Blackstone Group, KKR & Co. and the Carlyle Group/NGP Energy Capital. Blackstone is the world’s largest “alternative” asset manager. While its ClearGen subsidy is committed to promoting “sustainable-energy infrastructure,” Blackstone invests in 25 fossil-fuel companies. Among its recent acquisitions is the pipeline company Tallgrass Energy, which is developing an “oil export terminal in Louisiana that would emit more than 500,000 tons of greenhouse gases annually.” Tallgrass is also responsible for releasing thousands of gallons of oilfield wastewater contaminating North Dakota farmland. And Blackstone is notorious for investing heavily “in polluting plants located in proximity to communities of color.” KKR plans to partner with the renewable energy consulting firm Crossover Energy Partners to develop solar and wind power projects. However, it also partners with the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company to produce and distribute petroleum products, and is expanding natural-gas fracking projects in Wyoming. Overall, KKR invests in 28 fossilfuel companies. The Carlyle Group/NGP Energy Capital plans to invest in Amp Solar Group, “a Canadian-based global energy transition platform,” but it is also investing in expanding oil production in Colombia and Ghana. Overall, it
holds assets in 68 fossil-fuel companies. While capitalists pollute the Earth and speed up global warming, nominally socialist countries like China aren’t doing much better, and belong on the climate villains list. China’s leader, Xi Jinping, promises that it will start reducing greenhouse gases by 2030, and will be carbon neutral by 2060. Meantime, it is increasing coal production and the use of coal-fired power plants. The plants receive tax deductions and are greenlighted for bank loans. The list of climate villains must also include Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Iraq, Libya, Argentina, Colombia and Brazil, all nations that are expected to attend the Glasgow conference. Saudi Arabia’s national oil company, Aramco, the world’s leading oil producer, recently announced plans to increase its production by at least a million barrels a day by the 2030s. Stateowned oil companies in the other countries are also planning to increase production. The UAE was the first Persian Gulf country to pledge net zero carbon emissions by 2050. Meanwhile, it is investing more than $100 billion in new oil and gas projects.
