April 21, 2020  Last July, Ohio’s governor signed House Bill 6 (HB6) to provide FirstEnergy (now Energy Harbor), a large electric utility, with subsidies of nearly $150 million per year to keep its Perry and Davis-Besse nuclear power plants operating. Ohio is only the fifth US state to offer such subsidies; other states include New York, Illinois, New Jersey, and Connecticut.

The NCP formally decided to accept a complaint by bushfire survivors and Friends of the Earth Australia against ANZ Bank related to the company’s negative impacts on the climate.
Interestingly, ANZ is a financial institution whose day-to-day activities are physically far removed from the production and combustion of fossil fuels that result in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Nevertheless, the Australian NCP found that the bank’s financial investments in fossil fuel companies and infrastructure plausibly link the bank to the climate impacts caused by those companies. The NCP will now initiate a process to determine exact ....
