Even the gas station owners are getting frustrated with the price gouging that goes on regionally... especially here in Falmouth, where our prices run .10 to .20 cents/gallon higher than surrounding towns. The owner of this station leases from Mobil and is a slave to their regional price fixing (Mobil sets his prices according to the retail prices of his local competitors instead of based on actual market prices... a practice twhich he contends should be illegal). The price signs are his message to Mobil and a representation of his own frustration with how much higher his prices are.
Many people have raised alarms about fracking, an extreme method of fossil fuel extraction. There have been both social and environmental causes for alarm and protest.
What do you think about use of the port to bring in materials that support the fracking industry?
Camp Frack mobilised over 100 climate activists and local residents against plans by Cuadrilla Resources to drill for shale gas in Lancashire, UK.
"Camp Frack", named after "fracking", the process of pumping vast quantities of water underground and fracturing rocks with chemicals to release shale gas, set up outside the Lancashire village of Banks, close to a drilling rig that Cuadrilla Resources is using to drill up to 3.5km deep.
Environmentalists have argued that the "fracking" process is inherently risky. In the US, where shale gas is being hailed by industry as a potential substitute for oil, fears have been raised about the effect of the chemicals used, explosions, links with seismic activity and allegations of illness. A Cornell University study also concluded that greenhouse gas emissions from shale gas are higher than those for coal.

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

Leco CS744 - Oxygen/Nitrogen by Inert Gas Fusion Infrared and Thermal Conductivity Detection
The Leco CS744 is designed for routine measurement of carbon and sulfur in primary steels, ores, finished metals, and other inorganic materials. Additional features—such as a high-frequency combustion furnace, improved IR cell design, rugged design, and available automation assists in acquiring an accurate analysis of carbon and/or sulfur.

Trace amounts of carbon, sulfur, nitrogen, and oxygen can make a big difference in the structure and properties of many alloys. Combustion analysis can be used to measure the concentration of carbon and sulfur in a number of different ores and metals. A small amount of the sample is first combusted in oxygen. The amount of carbon
dioxide and sulfur dioxide produced from the reaction is then measured with an infrared detector.
A similar approach is applied to measure the amount of nitrogen and oxygen present in each sample. The sample is placed inside a graphite crucible and heated rapidly. Oxygen present in the molten sample reacts readily with the graphite crucible, and the amount of carbon dioxide formed from the combustion reaction is measured with an infrared detector and used to calculate the amount of oxygen originally present in the sample. Nitrogen gas escaping from the molten sample is measured with a separate thermal conductivity detector, as it is invisible to the infrared detector.
By measuring the composition of alloys down to parts-per-million levels, it is possible to work out how changes to ingredients and processing conditions affect their composition.

The JP Morgan Chase headquarters in New York on the day that activists deliver over 84,000 individual Greenpeace petition signatures to them. The petition asks that they listen to the voices of the people and stop funding tar sands expansion, one of the dirtiest sources of energy on the planet.
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.

Huda Ashfaq, a junior at West Virginia University, is working as a Mickey Leland Energy Fellow this summer with mentor Todd Gardner to develop and test novel nanostructured catalyst materials in NETL-Morgantown’s Nano-Particle Technology laboratory. The Nano-Particle Technology laboratory was developed and commissioned by Dr. Gardner as a concept laboratory to improve NETL’s competitive posture in the nano- and catalytic sciences. The catalysts being developed are tested for their capability to produce syngas (H2 and CO) from shale gas with millisecond contact time reactions. Nanostructuring of the active sites is used to attain high activity and carbon deposition resistance during catalytic partial oxidation (CPOx). This technology will improve the overall efficiency and utilization of shale gas in the upstream oil and gas industry where significant amounts of associated gas is vented, as CH4, or flared, as CO2, during extraction of the higher value crude. The catalysts are being tailored for use in highly compact, millisecond contact time partial oxidation reactors where direct syngas production mechanisms have been reported in the literature. This topical area has not been researched to a great extent and holds great potential for future applications that reduce net carbon emissions from upstream crude production using small-scale gas-to-liquid (GTL) platforms.
Crews sopped up the remains of about 10,000 gallons of crude oil that sprayed into Los Angeles streets and onto buildings early May 15, 2014 after a high-pressure pipe burst. A geyser of crude spewed 20 feet high over approximately half a mile and was knee-high in some parts of the industrial area of Atwater Village before the oil line was remotely shut off, said Fire Capt. Jaime Moore. A handful of commercial businesses near the border of Glendale were affected, as well as a strip club that was evacuated. Firefighters and hazardous materials crews responded. Several roads were closed. Photo by Gus Ruelas/Greenpeace

Early this morning, after hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets of New York to demand climate action over the weekend, Greenpeace projected the message "Listen to the People, Not the Polluters" on the United Nations building. The projection was then translated into different languages, to be shared with communities around the world who also held rallies, marches, and protests drawing attention to the climate crisis. Greenpeace International Director Kumi Naidoo said: "The massive public outcry over the weekend from around the world shows that the people are standing up to polluters. Now it's time for the UN representatives at this week's climate summit to do their part and make real, concrete plans for switching to renewable energy and putting dirty fossil fuels firmly in the past."

CalSTRS - Divest from Fossil Fuels
Sacramento, California
January 30, 2020
An oil tanker and young people drenched in fake 'oil' were pulled down the Capital Mall in Sacramento to protest CalSTRS $6BILLION investment in fossil fuel holdings. Amazing youth groups and environmental groups marched from the capital building to CalSTRS (The California State Teachers' Retirement System) in West Sacramento to send a powerful message to the CalSTRS Board - Divest from fossil fuels and Invest in the future. At CalSTRS, youth took part in a "Die-In" to illustrate the future they envision with continued investment in fossil fuels.
The blue "Censored" tape refers to the CalSTRS policy of not allowing the words of youth under the age of 18 to be included in the Public Record during public comments at board meetings.
The sign "Engagement is Wedding Us To Extinction" refers to CalSTRS board position that they have more power to bring change when they "engage" with the fossil fuel industry as opposed to "divesting" from the fossil fuel industry. "Engagement" without any benchmarks or timelines is widely seen as a tactic to avoid moving investments towards a sustainable future.
The march was led by Marge Grow-Eppard with the eagle feather staff of Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women (MMIW).
This event was co-organized by Earth Guardians Bay Area, Youth Vs Apocalypse, 350 Sacramento, Climate Reality Project UC Davis, Fridays for Future Sacramento, Sunrise Movement Sacramento, Sunrise Movement Davis, and Fossil Free California.
The NETL Pittsburgh Analytical Lab performs trace-level elemental analyses on various environmental and geological samples. This lab provides analysis to the research projects conducted at NETL, and also supports the NETL Regional University Alliance. Pittsburgh Analytical Laboratory is the only lab at NETL to utilize inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy, which is an analytical technique used for the detection of trace metals. It is a type of emission spectroscopy that uses the inductively coupled plasma to produce excited atoms and ions that emit electromagnetic radiation at wavelengths characteristic of a particular element, thus giving the lab the ability to provide element specific analysis.
Another method of analysis is ion chromatography, which is a process that allows the separation of ions and polar molecules based on their charge. It is often used in protein purification, water analysis, and quality control. Multiple other methods of analysis are also employed by the lab, including mercury analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, and proximate analysis.

Suzanna is from Fort Chipewyan, a native community which is downstream from the tar sands. The water pollution from those tar extraction and processing operations poisons native people in the area, who have to deal with rare cancers, and other health problems -- while devastating their way of life and the surrounding environment, in other ways. In Fort Chipewyan, natives either have to live off of poisoned land and water, or they have to give up their traditional diet.

Greenpeace Activists carry the 'Resist' message to President Trump and the Interior Department in Washington, D.C. Trump signed an order for the Interior Department to review 20 years' worth of monument designations on federal land across the country. Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke told reporters that under Trump's order, he will consider whether monument designations at up to 40 sites should be “rescinded, resized or modified in order to better benefit our public lands.”
