Resist the Pipeline
Developing countries are a major source of air pollution from burning fossil fuels.
A lot of the reason is from lack of adjustment in motors. Simple education about mechanics could help reduce some of this pollution.

Demolition continues on the Crawford Coal Power Plant in the Little Village neighborhood of Chicago. It was closed in 2012 after a long battle with community activists. It was owned by Midwest Generation, a subsidiary of Edison International. Demolition of the plant began in 2019. On April 11, 2020, the concrete smokestack was imploded and created a large dust cloud that covered the surrounding neighborhood.
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.
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.

WASHINGTON DC, USA -- Sunday, May 15th, 2016. Hundreds of climate activists protest at a rally organized by the Break Free movement against fossil fuel projects. Demonstrators went to the streets at the nation's capital to protest in front of the White House, calling on the decision makers in Washington DC to support the transition to renewable energy instead of coal, oil and gas energy.
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.

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.

Greenpeace's Sam Suarez broadcast on Facebook live as 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.

n the foreground, hazardous materials responders work on the scene of an oil pipeline rupture along the Alameda County-San Joaquin County border near Tracy, California, May 24, 2016, cleaning up a spill reported to be as much as 21,000 gallons. In the background, containers of oil contaminated soil sit among wind turbines. The leak in the underground pipe, which was reported by Shell Pipeline Co. after a line between Coalinga (Fresno County) and Martinez lost pressure, was spilling crude oil into the soil but was not near any waterways where the problem would escalate. The oil release was visible on the ground in a 250-by-40-foot section, San Joaquin County officials said.
Greenpeace USA activists protested the New York City arrival of a 50,000-ton oil tanker carrying Russian fossil fuel products, in turn, financing Vladimir Putin's war in Ukraine. The tanker came from a Russian port and is carrying Russian fossil fuel products, it is sailing under the flag of Greece.
The tanker entered Upper New York Bay just before the end of a 45 day grace period from President Biden.

Wouldn't we be better off if we discovered
and developed alternative energy resources BEFORE
cutting off the supply? Just sayin'
The New Harquahala Generating Facility is a natural gas-fired, combined-cycle generating facility.
I'm using solar power generated onsite to post this.
Mechanical Testing Laboratory
NETL researcher Dr. Jeff Hawk
B26-108
Scientists and engineers utilize the Mechanical Testing Laboratory to determine the mechanical behavior and performance of advanced materials under temperatures and pressures commonly associated with fossil energy systems. The focus of this work is to develop novel materials with enhanced performance characteristics. The laboratory is equipped to test a material’s ability to withstand cyclical mechanical loads for a large number of cycles and resulting crack growth behavior of materials at temperatures up to 1200 °C. The laboratory has the capability to evaluate a material’s ability to withstand static mechanical loads for long periods of time at temperatures up to 1100 °C. Additionally, the lab can test a material’s compressive and tensile strength—the resistance to breaking under tension—from room temperature to 1200 °C, as well as impact testing and hot-hardness testing.

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.
