EJR w/Jeanine Molloff - Juliana v. United States. Kids challenging fossil fuel.
The case of Juliana v. United States began during the Obama administration and continues to the present day. A group of children sued the Obama adminstration for failing to uphold environmental law. The case spans the Obama, Trump, and Biden administrations and if successful--could strip taxpayer subsidies from fossil fuel companies--among other changes. This case cuts to the essence of environmental rights vs. corporate interests. It is to our shame as a nation--that it took the children to bring this demand for justice to light.

EJR w/Jeanine Molloff - End fossil fuel subsidies and fund healthcare for all.
This week on EJR, I will discuss the enormous amount of taxpayer money going to fossil fuel companies in the form of subsidies. Reporting will include a study by the prominent medical journal, The Lancet, which will make the case for ending this taxpayer welfare to fossil fuel welfare mommas. Authors at The Lancet explain how these subsidies could be used to fund universal health coverage for all.
We will also have our 'Jackass of the Week" Award.
Come join me.
