Multnomah County, Oregon, which includes the Portland metropolitan area, has added the state’s largest natural gas utility as a defendant to its $51.55 billion climate lawsuit.
The lawsuit originally named as defendants a laundry list of oil companies and industry groups, including ExxonMobil, Shell, Chevron, and the American Petroleum Institute. The amended complaint now adds Northwest Natural Gas Company.
The suit is one of dozens of similar cases across the country, alleging the defendants engaged in a “scheme to deceptively promote fossil fuel products as harmless and rapaciously selling the products.” The Oregon suit seeks damages from a heat dome event in 2021. While the event brought high temperatures for several days, killing 72 in Multnomah County, it didn’t break the state’s record, which was 119 degrees set in 1898, long before large amounts of fossil fuels were being consumed.
Last month, Just the News reported that Gale Norton, former attorney general of Colorado who served as Secretary of the Interior under George W. Bush, warned that these lawsuits, if successful, would be highly lucrative for the firms representing the plaintiffs. This would create an incentive to go after other large emitters, such as heavy industries and utilities.
In a statement celebrating Multnomah County’s move, the Center for Climate Integrity, which receives funding from the anti-fossil fuel Rockefeller funds, said that other utilities will soon become targets of the anti-fossil fuel campaign. […]

Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
