A home burns in Pine Canyon during the Lake Fire on August 12, 2020 in Lake Hughes, California. The wildfire exploded to at least 10,000 acres in the first few hours with no containment and destroying several homes and out buildings in Pine Canyon.
The Climate emergency is exacerbating the conditions that make fires more catastrophic. Hotter and drier conditions are extending the wildfire season and contributing to larger fires.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, unhealthy air is a serious public health emergency. Deadly air pollutants are exacerbated by dangerous smoke from these fires that threaten children, elderly populations, pregnant women, unhoused people, outdoor workers, and those with compromised immune systems and preexisting conditions.
WELLS FARGO DIVEST! A 'Block Party' on Wells Fargo's doorstep
July 14, 2023
San Francisco, CA
6 Climate Activists were arrested, cited and released on Friday as part of an action to demand a stop to the bank’s reckless funding of fossil fuels. Activists locked down in front of Wells Fargo's security gates, blocking the entrance and forcing the branch to close.
Outside, many local climate groups came together with live music, street theater, wheat paste and to paint a giant mural reading "WELLS FARGO--HEAT, FLOODS, FIRE--DIVEST FROM OIL & GAS".
Workers painstakingly clean oil from the beach by hand following a massive spill that leaked at least 144,000 gallons of oil from a broken pipeline connected to an offshore drilling platform about five miles off the coast of Orange County, CA. Damage has been done to local wildlife and wetlands which can take decades to recover.
This latest disaster is just another example of why we must phase out oil and gas extraction both onshore and offshore.
The Greenpeace thermal airship A.E. Bates flies by Glacier National Park near Babb, Montana on August 4, 2014. The airship flew with banners reading, "Coal exports fuel climate change" and "Keep our coal in the ground" to highlight the risks of coal export and mining. Coal mining companies are trying to boost exports of publicly owned coal in Montana and Wyoming to Asia, which would mean more carbon pollution and disruption to the environment and communities in the Western United States.

The Greenpeace Thermal Airship A.E. Bates takes to the skies over San Francisco with a message for Governor Jerry Brown. The flight message was urging him to use the California Climate Summit to make a meaningful commitment to phase out fossil fuel development.
We marched to BP Refinery strongly for Nayaano-nibiimaang Gichigamiin: The Great Lakes (The Five Freshwater Seas)
These tar sands poses catastrophic health risks to our Mother Earth, people and our wild rice water sheds and homelands as well as our sacred Anishinaabewi-gichigami: Lake Superior (Anishinaabe’s Sea)
We marched and sang along for:
Ininwewi-gichigami: Lake Michigan (Illinois’ Sea) where BP Refinery with their fracked Bakken tanks have invaded with their toxicity greed putting our sacred Gichigamiin at risk for pollution. Our 7th Generations will depend on this water, and clean air to survive. It's our duty to save our children's future. A path we must choose...for our survival.
Our message is clear, "You can't drink oil, no water no life." #LoveWaterNotOil HonorEarth.org

Oakland, CA - On October 23rd, ninety-two of the world's largest banks met in São Paulo, Brazil to vote on a policy that upholds Indigenous people's right to Free, Prior, and Informed Consent (FPIC) to allow or disallow projects on their lands. Local activists and environmental allies protested against three of the banks involved with the financing of dirty fossil fuel projects (like the Dakota Access Pipeline and Keystone XL). The day started off with a prayer circle, followed by three divestment actions at Wells Fargo, Citibank, and JPMorgan Chase. This action was part of a global divestment movement, where over 50 actions were held across the world.

Actors Sam Waterson and Rosanna Arquette participate in the second California based Fire Drill Friday takes in the District 15 area of Los Angeles. The area is home to the massive oil and gas fields that are quite literally poisoning and killing people. Speakers include: Gloria Arellanes, a member of the Gabrieleno/Tongva Tribe; Jocelyn Moguel, a strong young leader born and raised in Wilmington, CA.; Doctor Saba Malik, a second year family medicine resident at Harbor UCLA Medical Center; Jovan Houston, an aviation service worker at Los Angeles International Airport and rank and file leader SEIU United Service Workers West; Magali Sanchez-Hall is a long-time resident of Wilmington and an environmental justice activist working alongside environmental justice organizations.
Helping with speaker introductions are: Billie Lee; Lana Parrilla; Sam Waterston; Josh Pence; Rosanna Arquette; Diane Lane; Saffron Burrows; and Lily Tomlin.

Greenpeace activists protest on July 1, 2014 at Ambre Energy’s downtown Portland office against a plan to provide $2 million in public funds to help the financially shaky Australian company's coal export proposals. Ambre Energy, which has struggled to attract private investment, is backing a request through the ConnectOregon grant program to dredge the Columbia River at Port Westward, along with the oil-by-rail company Global Partners.

NETL’s Analytical Laboratory in Albany is equipped to aid researchers in analyzing materials on a micro scale in simulated environments, which helps to discover properties that can affect processing at the macro scale. This research also ensures that materials used in the energy industry are long-lasting and durable, in turn, keeping maintenance and replacement costs low.
Greenpeace USA climbers form a blockade on the Fred Hartman Bridge in Baytown, Texas shutting down the largest fossil fuel thoroughfare in the United States ahead of the third Democratic primary debate in nearby Houston. The climbers are preventing the transport of all oil and gas through the Houston Ship Channel, home to the largest petrochemical complex in the United States. Their action is a call to the country’s present and future leaders to imagine a world beyond fossil fuels and embrace a just transition to renewable energy.
To help solve environmental problems we’re facing today, NETL’s Engineered Natural Systems Lab integrates science and engineering principles that will improve the natural environment, and ease the impact of pollutants on the environment.
The Lab looks for ways to progress geologic CO2 storage, shale gas production, and ultradeep offshore oil production.

NETL utilizes its melt lab facilities to create controlled chemistry alloys for further evaluation in our other facilities. Alloys are initially conceived and evaluated using computational thermodynamics. Once designed, the alloys are formulated from industrial purity remelt stocks. Melt operations include non-consumable vacuum arc remelting (VAR) melting up to a few pounds, consumable VAR and electro-slag remelting (ESR) melting up to 440 lbs, and vacuum induction melting (VIM) up to 50lb in this lab (up to 300# in another). Once melted, ingots are sampled for chemistry. Heats that are destined for deformation processing are given a computationally optimized homogenization heat treatment and machined prior to hot working.

NETL’s Albany lab specializes in metals research for energy applications, and its Fabrication Laboratory helps develop strong, durable alloys for use in energy production. Researchers in the Lab work on projects for the Department of Energy but have also developed alloys for Shell, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, GE, Pratt & Whittney-Rockedyne (P&W), medical stent applications for Boston Scientific Laboratories, and others.
North Valmy Generating Station. The plant is a 522-megawatt coal-fired power station jointly owned by NV Energy and Idaho Power. Coal for the plant originates from mines in Utah and Wyoming and is delivered to the location by the Union Pacific Railroad. The Valmy facility, which began operation in 1981, is Nevada's last remaining coal-fired plant and is scheduled to be closed and replaced with renewable resources by 2025. Paradise Valley. Near Valmy, Humboldt Co., Nevada.
