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".
The Wabash River Coal Gasification Repowering Project is one of two demonstrations of advanced integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) technology in the United States. It was selected by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) in September of 1991 as a Round IV Demonstration Project for the Clean Coal Technology (CCT) Program. The IGCC plant is a repowering facility in the sense that it was built to replace a dated conventional pulverized coal power plant. Construction began in July of 1993 near West Terre Haute, Indiana, followed by operational startup in November of 1995. The project demonstration phase was completed and turned over for commercial operation in December 1999. In 2005, the plant was re-started under new management. sgSolutions LLC (SGS) owns and operates the Syngas Plant, whereas Wabash Valley Power owns the power generation portion of the plant, which is operated by Duke Energy.

NETLâs Severe Environment Corrosion Erosion Facility in Albany studies how new and old materials will stand up to new operating conditions.
Work done in the lab supports NETLâs oxy-fuel combustion oxidation work, refractory materials stability work, and the fuels program, in particular the hydrogen membrane materials stability work, to determine how best to upgrade existing power plants.

The CT Scanner Laboratory provides imaging data that can be used for computer simulations, economic evaluations, and site characterizations. The scanner generates a three-dimensional (3-D) image of an object's structure by collecting and combining many 2-D X-ray images. Coal, rock, and other geological samples are imaged to measure how liquids, gases, and solids flow through them, or to measure other rock-fluid phenomena, such as how CO2 is adsorbed or absorbed in coal cores. The measurements provide information on the actual distribution of minerals and fluids inside samples, rather than providing merely average measurements.
Refinery Corridor Healing Walk #3
Benicia to Rodeo, California June 11, 2017 - 3rd of 4 walks this year along the Refinery Corridor in the East Bay. Organized by Idle No More SF Bay, this 10.5 mile walk started in Benicia, home of Valero's Benicia Refinery, crossed the Carquinez Bridge and then passed thru the heart of Conoco-Phillips 66 “San Francisco” refinery.
Within minutes of the early morning start, walkers had the extremely rare opportunity to observe 2 Bald Eagles fishing and hanging out along the bay. And then, almost as if scripted, what started as a bright, sunny day turned increasingly windy and as the walkers approached the Conoco-Phillips 66 refinery, dark, menacing clouds formed, complete with lightning and eventually rain.
These walks have been bringing native people, local communities and those concerned about the health of the planet together to envision a healthier future, since 2014.
The next walk (July 16, 2017) will cover the section of the Refinery Corridor from Rodeo to the Chevron Richmond refinery. It will be the very last of a total of 16 walks that have happened over a period of 4 years.
These walks have done an outstanding job of connecting communities and issues and providing insights and ways to connect to the fierce battles being waged in our own back yards for "Clean Air, Water & Soil
Safe Jobs, Roads, Railroads & Waterways
A Vibrantly Healthy Future for All Children
A Just Transition to Safe & Sustainable Energy"
On Sunday March 2nd, over 1,000 students and young people marched from Georgetown University to the White House for a massive youth sit-in against the Keystone XL pipeline.

A skimmer with Clean Gulf Associates skims oil from the surface on May 14, 2016 to clean up oil that leaked from a flow line at one of Shell's drilling sites about 90 miles off the Louisiana coast in the Gulf of Mexico. The company says about 88,200 gallons of oil leaked from the line. The company says the skimmers will pick up what oil they can from the Gulf's surface. Photo by Derick E. Hingle/Greenpeace

The GAIA Computational Facilities enable real-time collaboration among scientists at NETL’s three research sites (Albany, OR; Morgantown, WV; and Pittsburgh, PA). Researchers use the facilities to conduct computer-based analytical work, and access common tools, data, and software in a coordinated environment. Real-time video connectivity allows multiple researchers from the different sites to collaborate remotely.

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.

During Toronto protesting for a March 3rd day of action, in several cities, against RBC tar sands financing
Washington DC, Saturday April 29, 2017. Tens of thousands of climate justice activists gathered near the U.S. Capitol for a march to the White House. The very large group circled the White House and staged a brief symbolic 'sit in'. Shamed, President Donald J. Trump escaped to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania for yet another campaign style rally with the suckers who voted for him.
Coal subsidies are risky for public budgets, consumers and investors, but they're often illegal too.
The Energy Community countries – the Western Balkans, Ukraine and Moldova - are bound by EU state aid rules. Failure to follow them will cost them dearly if the aid has to be recovered.

Greenpeace and Mosquito Fleet activists block a Kinder Morgan barge from entering the company’s Seattle facility by locking themselves to the pier and displaying banners. "The company's Trans Mountain Pipeline tramples Indigenous rights, threatens communities and their access to clean water, and the increased tanker traffic from the pipeline could decimate marine wildlife including the 76 remaining Southern Resident orcas,” said Greenpeace activist and Seattle resident Samantha Suarez.

The GAIA facilities let researchers coordinate their datasets using top-of-the-line research computers with key software, such as ArcGIS, Petra, GoldSim, and Earthvision. They can then collaboratively visualize, interpret, analyze, and model geospatial data sets from the lab or the real world. These science-based analyses inform our understanding of these systems, expose knowledge gaps, and drive further research. The integrated and collaborative setting of the GAIA facilities assists knowledge-sharing across projects and disciplines, improving our chances of solving energy issues related to these systems.

Today, the most promising geologic formations under consideration for CO2 storage are active and depleted oil and gas formations, deep saline formations, and deep, unmineable coal seams. To better understand these formations, researchers at the High-Pressure Immersion and Reactive Transport Laboratory in Albany are studying subsurface systems.

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.
