Spitzer ankakonda dziko lapansi ndi ana ake aakazi (ochimwa).

Mpaka pomwe adakhala kazembe wa New York mu Januware 2007 kwa nthawi yopitilira chaka chimodzi, a Eliot Laurence Spitzer adani ake anali adani oyipitsitsa a chilengedwe.

Wandale wazaka 48 adadziwonetsa ngati Bambo Clean. Iye anali mtetezi wolimba wa capitalism yoyera, bizinesi yowonekera komanso kuteteza chilengedwe - zabwino zokwanira kuwononga Environmental Protection Agency osati kamodzi, koma katatu.

Koma analinso ndi zigoba m’chipinda chake. Kazembe wakale wa New York ali ndi chinsinsi choyipa - amawakondadi mahule. Bambo Clean analinso okonda kwambiri Mayi Earth - osati atsikana achilendo okha, otsika mtengo.

June watha, adalowa nawo mgwirizano wa maboma ena 15 omwe adatsata bungwe lazachilengedwe kangapo. Cholinga chawo: kuletsa makampani opanga magetsi kupanga matani 48 a mercury omwe amawononga madzi ndi nsomba, komanso kudwalitsa ana okwana 600,000 chaka chilichonse.

Adasaina mu Ogasiti, lamulo lopangidwa kuti liwonjezere chidziwitso cha ogula za mpweya wowonjezera kutentha. Lamuloli linkafuna kuti opanga magalimoto amamatire chizindikiro cha “global warming index” ku magalimoto atsopano ndi magalimoto onyamula anthu kuyambira m’chaka chachitsanzo cha 2010, chofotokoza za carbon dioxide ndi mpweya wina wowonjezera kutentha. New York ndi dziko lachiwiri kuti lipereke malamulo achilengedwe otere.

Kutentha kwapadziko lonse kunali pamwamba pazabwino za Spitzer. Adayitanitsa magulu onse aboma, mabizinesi ndi ogula kuti achitepo kanthu pochepetsa kutulutsa mpweya. Chofunikirachi chikuyamba kugwira ntchito kuyambira mchaka cha 2010, ndipo chimagwiranso ntchito pamagalimoto onyamula anthu ndi magalimoto opepuka omwe amalemera mapaundi 8,500 kapena kuchepera. Chomata chake chimaphatikizapo ndondomeko yomwe imafanizira mpweya wa kutentha kwa dziko kuchokera m'galimoto ndi kuchuluka kwa mpweya wochokera ku magalimoto onse a chaka chomwecho, ndikuzindikiritsa chitsanzo cha galimoto mkati mwa kalasi yake ndi mpweya wochepa kwambiri wa chaka chachitsanzo chimenecho. Mlozerawu uyenera kukhazikitsidwa ndi mpweya woipa wa carbon dioxide, womwe umathandizira kwambiri kutentha kwa dziko lonse lapansi, kuwonjezera pa methane, nitrous oxide, hydro-fluorocarbons, per-fluorocarbons ndi sulfur hexafluoride.

Kale, bwanamkubwa Spitzer (wa Austrian mbadwa monga California a Gov. Schwarzenegger) anagawana wake "15 ndi 15" dongosolo kuchepetsa ntchito magetsi ndi 15 peresenti kuchokera milingo Mapa pofika chaka 2015 kudzera mapulogalamu mphamvu zatsopano pofuna kuchepetsa bili mphamvu, ndi wowonjezera kutentha. mpweya wa mpweya ndi kuipitsidwa kwina kwa mpweya. Wanzeru! Harvard adapanga katswiri kuchokera ku Spitzer.

Ndi ubale wake wachikondi ndi chidani ndi EPA, monga woyimira boma mu 2000, komabe adagwirizana ndi lingaliro la EPA lochotsa malo otentha a PCB kumtunda wa Hudson River. Zomwe Spitzer adachita poteteza thanzi la mibadwo yamtsogolo ya New Yorkers ndikubwezeretsanso mphamvu zamtsinje ndi chilengedwe chake zidavomerezedwa ndi anthu ambiri. "M'badwo wonse wa New Yorkers sunadziwepo mtsinje wa Hudson wopanda kuipitsidwa ndi PCB. Ma PCB oyimitsidwa m'madzi a mtsinjewo ndikuyikidwa m'matope ake amakhala pachiwopsezo cha thanzi chomwe chatilepheretsa kugwiritsa ntchito mtsinjewo nthawi yayitali. Kuphatikiza pa kuwononga anthu, ma PCB amawononganso nyama zomwe zimakhala m'mphepete mwa mtsinje wa Hudson, "adatero, mu adilesi yake yomwe adalimbikitsa Carol Browner woyang'anira EPA. Spitzer adapempha New Yorkers kuti athandizire EPA poyesa kubwezeretsa thanzi lamtsinje.

M'chaka chomwecho, Spitzer anali kumbuyo kukakamiza Virginia Electric Power Company kuti achepetse pafupifupi 70 peresenti yopanga sulfure dioxide ndi nitrogen oxide, poizoni woipa kwambiri womwe umayandama makilomita mazana ambiri kumpoto ndikuyambitsa mvula ya asidi. Spitzer adapambana mlanduwu ndikupangitsa kuti malowa alipire chindapusa chandalama zokwana $1.2 biliyoni, atero a Outside a Tim Neville.

Neville anawonjezera Spitzer kuphulika mu 2003 Dow AgroSciences ponena kuti mzere wake wa mankhwala ophera tizilombo Dursban unali wotetezeka ngakhale machenjezo mobwerezabwereza kuchokera ku EPA (kachiwiri) kuti chinthu chotchedwa Chlorpyrifos chinayambitsa vuto la ubongo mwa ana. Adasumira Dow yemwe adalangidwa ndi $ 2 miliyoni.

Pa ntchito yake yonse, owononga chilengedwe akhala akukonda kwambiri Spitzer. Sakulangidwa kawirikawiri ndi msika, ndipo pansi pa Purezidenti Bush, samalangidwa kawirikawiri ndi olamulira, zomwe zikutanthauza kuti anthu ambiri amalipira mtengo wa kuipitsa, adatero NNDB yomwe inawonjezera Spitzer yafuna kuti EPA itembenuzire mafayilo a magetsi 50. adafufuza, koma sanazengereze. Ankafuna kuimbidwa mlandu opanga magetsi chifukwa chophwanya lamulo la Clean Air Act ngati atapezeka kuti ndi wolakwa. Ndizosadabwitsa kuti pali mafani ochepa a Spitzer omwe ali m'maudindo a utsogoleri ku EPA, NNDB idatero pa intaneti.

Ndizomvetsa chisoni kuti munthu wotere yemwe ali ndi chidwi kwambiri ndi dziko lapansi anali ndi chikhumbo chokulirapo (ndipo adawononga $ 80,000) kufunafuna zosangalatsa kuchokera ku tramp, zokonda za mphaka wake wogonana Kristen.
