it swallows all those fossil fuels, sends light through all its wires;
metabolized, digested, gone, exhausts to heaven, then expires.
Surface Analysis Laboratory (SEM)
NETL researcher Keith Collins
B1-109
The Surface Analysis Laboratory is equipped to assist researchers in analyzing materials on a microscale in simulated environments, which helps to discover properties that can affect processing at the macroscale. The laboratory houses X-ray diffraction equipment, electron microscopes, a metallographic laboratory, and a complete analytical chemistry laboratory. The facility enables scientists to conduct wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy for chemical analysis. Thermal analysis can be performed to determine thermophysical properties of materials, such as decomposition temperatures and solidification temperatures. The laboratory also has instrumentation to determine which elements and compounds are present and their concentrations in solids, powders, and liquids to verify that alloys contain the correct balance of elements and compounds, helping keep these alloys in line with industry demands
Tim DeChristopher, area clergy and the larger resistance against the West Roxbury Lateral Pipeline. Approximately a dozen people climbed into the pipeline trenches making the connection between this new fracked gas fossil fuel project and the mass graves being prepared in anticipation of the coming climate fueled Summer heat.
Watch Tim's remarks on our entering "the age of anticipatory mass graves" driven by climate change and ongoing fossil fuel emissions.

Volunteers log petitions in the back of a rental truck in downtown Denver 8 August, 2016. A grassroots-led coalition united under the banner “Yes for Health and Safety Over Fracking” delivered boxes of signatures on August 8, 2016, to place two initiatives on Colorado’s November ballot. The initiatives, #75 and #78, aim to address shortcomings in state law and regulations around hydraulic fracturing (fracking) for oil and natural gas. The petition signatures were delivered to the Colorado Secretary of State's office in Denver.
ALBANY, NEW YORK, USA -- Friday, May 13th, 2016. A kayak flotilla take part in a Break Free action on the Hudson River.
Break Free 2016 is a week of coordinated direct actions that target the most dangerous fossil fuel projects, in an effort to keep coal, oil and gas in the ground and accelerate a just transition to 100% renewable energy. Thousands of people all over the planet are putting their bodies on the line to send a message to polluters and politicians that we need to break free from fossil fuels now.

The Greenpeace Arctic Sunrise displays a banner message near the US Oil facility in Tacoma. The ship is on a tour following the route that would experience a seven-fold increase in tar sands tanker oil traffic if the pipeline expansion is completed. The report documents the communities threatened by the Trans Mountain Expansion Project, which would worsen the effects of global warming, risk poisoning water, jeopardize the hundreds of thousands of jobs that depend on clean coasts, violate Indigenous sovereignty, and threaten the extinction of the Southern Resident Orca Whale, of which only 75 remain.

End Dependence (on Fossil Fuels) Day
Sacramento, CA - July 4, 2023
On End Dependence Day, The Last Chance Alliance, Oil and Gas Action Network, Women With Bows and many other Environmental and Social Justice groups, came together at the state capitol in Sacramento with a 12 "Oil Derrick" art installation. They called on Governor Gavin Newsom to: End Dependence on fossil fuels, stop approving new fossil fuel projects and stop all drilling near homes, schools and hospitals.
Climate Justice groups teamed up with groups working on indigenous rights, racial justice, LGBTQ issues, homelessness, poverty, immigrant rights, and more for a Community Unity Gathering to demand Newsom ’end-dependence’ on fossil fuels and highlight the needs of the community!

Resist the Pipeline
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.

Tom Burkett with VA River Healers and Citizen Drone leads a workshop on drone surveying. Activists gather for a direct action camp designed to train the growing movement in Virginia against the Atlantic Coast and Mountain Valley pipelines. The objective is to teach participants ways to use our bodies to protect our communities, our lands, and our climate from powerful fossil fuel interests who want to carve up these beautiful mountains for profit.
Especially worrying is the proximity of the Kolubara mining operations to the inhabited houses.
A woman working as a nurse in a local health care center reported a significant increase in cancer, lunge and other internal diseases.
From the toxic waste created by the extreme extraction of tar sands destroying indigenous communities in Canada, to toxins created by the BP Whiting refinery producing sacrifice communities in the Greater Chicago area, to the resultant catastrophic effect on our climate, the urgent need for a just transition away from fossil fuels to a 100% renewable energy economy is abundantly clear.
Workers install a billboard with a message for Senator Chuck Schumer a few blocks from his Prospect Park home. The billboard sends a clear message to Sen. Schumer: End Big Oil Handouts. In May 2011, Schumer said “the time to repeal these giveaways is now” when talking about tax subsidies for big oil on the floor of the senate.

Local indigenous leaders hold a prayer ceremony before training on the water at the Oil-Free Salish Sea Camp, a regional training for the growing movement of water-based fossil fuel resistance in the Pacific Northwest. The purpose of the gathering is to strengthen on-water resistance to Kinder Morgan's Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion. The project directly threatens the health of our local communities and ecosystems, as well as global climate. The camp is presented by the Mosquito Fleet in partnership with Greenpeace.

One day I took some pictures of the empty soda cans and when I wanted to post them on my site, I was struggling to write something about them but suddenly a light bulb flashed and one thing led to another and while I ended up posting quite a few pictures of those cans with some interesting writeups starting from something serious like environment so something more funny as their aspirations in a popularity contest and afterlife. Do check them out.

Resist the Pipeline
Container ships waiting to enter the Port of Los Angeles or Long Beach are visible behind workers painstakingly cleaning 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.
Use your damn legs.
Dirty oil stains California’s climate leadership — "The oil industry has increasingly used extreme extraction techniques like fracking and steam flooding — involving high energy inputs and large volumes of water — worsening the climate impacts of the state’s oil production."
OIL STAIN: How Dirty Crude Undercuts California’s Climate Progress — "Governor Brown and California’s climate policies have not only failed to reduce dirty crude production but have actually incentivized oil production overall. From subsidizing oil and gas development to weak regulation, California has rolled out the red carpet for oil companies."
Jane Fonda marches with guest speakers at the December Fire Drill Friday return to the streets. Jane Fonda is back in the streets with Fire Drill Fridays for an in-person rally in DC! We’re coming together in the heart of America’s halls of power to sound the alarm that we’re facing a crisis and politicians better start acting like it. We need President Biden to declare a climate emergency, and we need our elected officials from across the country to open their eyes and see our house is on fire.
