The Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) issued a press release on Friday saying that Baard Energy had agreed to a settlement entailing their switching from coal as a feedstock for its planned coal/biomass-to-liquids Ohio River Clean Fuels plant ( earlier post ) to natural gas. Earlier post.). guarantee.
After spending time in the Gulf, the Sierra Club's new executive director, Michael Brune, ponders getting off oil in "Create," his Sierra Magazine commentary. After extolling biking and transit, he concludes: "The single most effective thing we can do as a country to get off oil, however, is to electrify transportation.
According to the application, the plant would gasify blends of petroleum coke and coal to produce syngas that would fuel a combustion turbine to produce electricity. In 2013, terms of the agreement with Occidental of Elk Hills changed, and the applicant began seeking other buyers for the carbon dioxide and a new sequestration agreement.
The Sierra Estrella energy storage facility, constructed by utility company Salt River Project (SRP) and energy system constructor Plus Power LLC, will be the largest of its kind in Arizona. By holding onto excess power generated during lulls in demand, power companies can more easily address peak demand and, importantly, reduce costs.
There are four guidelines to follow: Refrain from using or burning oil, gas or coal. However, if an EV is charged using electricity that is generated by burning coal or in some other way that generates fossil fuel emissions, those emissions would be associated with that EV’s well to wheel emissions. of total U.S.
It is also flex so that future biomass fuels such as cellulosic ethanol, methanol can be used (no oil). Also maintenance on these (no oil changes to speak of) etc will cost much less than an internal combution propelled car. Those cars will reduce oil demand at most by about 1/5th of one percent. — Volt Enthusiast 7.
The vision is fuelled by the fear of climate change and the need to find green alternatives to dirty coal, unpopular nuclear power and unreliable gas imports from Russia. Oil is the alternative.

In a worst case scenario, Chu said, up to 90% of the Sierra Nevada snowpack could disappear, all but eliminating a natural storage system for water vital to agriculture as well as cities. Australia is the world’s largest exporter of coal and one of the world’s highest per-capita emitters of greenhouse gases.
His chief concern was running out of coal, gas, and oil, not their negative impacts on the environment. Charles Ferris, dean of engineering at the University of Tennessee, praised the development of long-distance power distribution and the positive effects it had on rural life, but worried about the use of fossil fuels.
Even if you charge your EV with electricity made from coal fired generators you reduce your car’s pollution by half. Air travel will be limited to extremely expensive intercontinental and military flights to conserve oil, and nuclear developments will be for military purposes only for national security.
There was a nice selection of books, especially guides to the flora and fauna of the High Sierras. I pulled an old issue of Sierra (the magazine of the Sierra Club) from July/August 1997. We also found magazines ( Utne Reader anyone?) CDs and Blueray DVD movies and documentaries.
