Diane Lane speaks as the second California based Fire Drill Friday takes place 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 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.
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.

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.

U.N. Climate Meet: "It's About Survival"
WARSAW, Poland (IPS) – For the small island developing states of the Caribbean, there is nothing more important right now than the United Nations Climate Change Conference taking place here at the national stadium of Poland from Nov. 11-22.

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.
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.

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.

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.

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.

Smoke envelops the San Gabriel Mountains as record heatwave conditions stoke the Ranch 2 Fire on August 15, 2020 near Azusa, California. The fire had covered at least 1,400 acres as it roars up steep mountainsides and into wilderness in the Angeles National Forest and San Gabriel National Monument.

The Severe Environment Corrosion Erosion Facility is a multi-laboratory, modular facility that allows researchers to safely examine the performance of materials under conditions ranging from atmospheric corrosion to highly corrosive and/or erosive environments similar to those existing in fossil fuel power plants and gasifiers. Researchers can use the facility to conduct experiments at low or high temperatures, in pure- or mixed-gas environments, and in pure- or mixed-gas/liquid environments. The laboratory features a safety system that detects gas leaks both inside and outside of the lab’s six research modules, each of which can be exposed to 11 different gases or dry air. Research conducted at the facility supports NETL’s investigations into oxy-fuel combustion oxidation, refractory materials stability, and fuels. It also sheds light on how existing power plants, which subject materials to extremely harsh conditions, can best be upgraded.
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
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.

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.
An Aera Energy pipeline spilled an estimated 29,000 gallons of crude oil in a gorge called Prince Barranca near homes in Ventura, California June 23, 2016. Crude oil has coated rocks and creek beds, but details on the environmental impact were not immediately available.
