A study by researchers from the University of Oklahoma and the US Naval Research Laboratory has found that biodiesel is easily susceptible to biological degradation by anaerobic bacteria. In a fuel environment, anaerobic conditions prevail whenever heterotrophic microbial respiration consumes oxygen at a rate that exceeds diffusion.
The Keystone pipeline is approximately 1,316 miles in length and transports crude oil from the US-Canadian Border in North Dakota to Patoka, Illinois and includes an extension running from Jefferson County, Nebraska to Cushing, Oklahoma. From North Dakota, the pipeline runs south through South Dakota and Nebraska.

The Wall Street Journal pointed out that banks like Oklahoma-based BOK Financial—with 19 percent of its loan portfolio made up of energy loans—could be the most vulnerable. Investment funds, hungry for yield in a low interest rate environment, have poured money into oil and gas. That could add to the pain for local banks.
Researchers from Oklahoma State University are publishing the first analysis of a genome of an anaerobic gut fungus— Orpinomyces sp. C1A—they say has great potential for the cost-effective production of biofuel. The analysis will appear in the August issue of Applied and Environmental Microbiology. Wilkins, and Mostafa S.

Above-average precipitation across the Southern Plains improved long-term drought conditions Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas. Warmer-than-average conditions across the eastern US also created an environment favorable for severe thunderstorms and tornadoes. According to the US Drought Monitor, as of 3 April, 36.8%
A new NSF-funded study by authors from Yale Law School, the University of Oklahoma and George Washington Law School presents correlational and experimental evidence showing that cultural cognition also shapes individuals’ beliefs about the existence of scientific consensus. —Dan Kahan.
UPS is working to meet its goal of logging one billion miles with its alternative fuel and advanced technology fleet by the end of 2017, using a Rolling Laboratory approach to determine the right alternative fuel solutions to meet the unique needs of route-specific driving environments. At UPS, we own our fleet and our infrastructure.
UPS currently operates 31 CNG fueling stations in Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, Georgia, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Nevada, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia, Tennessee, and West Virginia and runs CNG vehicles in 38 states in the U.S. In 2016, UPS invested $100 million in CNG fueling stations and vehicles.
The electric vehicle community in the United States took a collective gasp earlier this month when a proposed House Bill in Oklahoma unanimously passed a committee vote. The bill in question, HB 3994, aims to update and change parts of existing Oklahoma statutes related to the state’s auto industry. Oklahoma Senator Mary B.

This same interview in which Chu warns about the possibility of 90% of the Sierra snowpack disappearing and taking the entire agriculture industry of California along with it, is concluded by a quote from the discredited and shameful global warming denier poster boy, Senator James Inhofe of Oklahoma, infamous for calling global warming a hoax.
How much of the variation in the plant traits are driven by genetics or the environment or the interaction between genes and the environment? The result is a grass that has adapted to a wide variety of environments throughout North America, from the hot and dry landscape of Central Mexico to the snowy climes of Canada.
Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment is retrofitting 36 school buses with technologies to cut soot and reduce idling. Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana. Delaware River and Bay Authority is repowering two Tier 0 marine propulsion engines in one vessel with Tier 3 engines. Puerto Rico.
It is notable that all the high-EWe states in our study were those classified in the GAO survey as to be likely to experience statewide (Colorado), regional (Wyoming), local (Kansas and Oklahoma), or uncertain water shortages (California and New Mexico).

University of Oklahoma professor Chenghao Wang has received three years of funding through NASA to study the rising issue of ozone pollution. The post NASA funds groundbreaking research on ozone pollution appeared first on Innovation News Network.
The University of Oklahoma (Norman, OK) plans to develop, build, and validate a low-cost, field-installable, remotely-controlled natural gas compressor retrofit kit. This application has demonstrated that MPE sensors are robust under harsh environments, are accurate, and have rapid response times to measuring mixed gas compositions.
Instead, to solidify her skills as a manager, she earned a master’s degree in 1973 in public administration from the University of Oklahoma in Norman. Her pioneering efforts in a predominantly male and racially segregated environment set a precedent for future generations of female and minority scientists.
This decrease in sea ice area is roughly equal to the area of Texas, California, and Oklahoma combined.&#. Therefore, global sea ice levels are 1.34 million sq. km less in February 2009 than in February 1979. It is disturbing that the Washington Post would publish such information without first checking the facts.

In 2019, we trained a machine learning model by scattering inert PFM-1 land mines and collecting visual imagery via drone flights in various environments, including roads, urban areas, grassy fields, and places with taller vegetation. Our resulting model correctly detected 92 percent of PFM-1s in these environments, on average.
Increased EV efficiency isn’t just better for the environment. Purchase incentives could also be scaled based on efficiency, and registration fees could be based on vehicle weight, as is currently the case in Oklahoma and the District of Columbia, the paper suggests. Most EVs average 2.5 miles per kwh.

Parts of Oklahoma are hard hit by drought. Blue’ technologies have also until now not been ‘green’ enough to make sense for the environment. There is a great deal of money to be made in what amounts to conservation at the end of the day, and for once it can be made without harming the environment. Everyone benefits.

By the way Boones plan covers: Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, and North Dakota. Boone Pickens plan, which states that using all the wind power capacity from northern Texas to the Canadian border would produce AS MUCH AS 20%. He states this as a positive of his program. Sounds like a perfect way to dump a TRILLION.
And we will do so in a way that benefits American workers and businesses without risking the health and safety of the American people and the environment. —President Obama.
His chief concern was running out of coal, gas, and oil, not their negative impacts on the environment. I find this idea delightfully weird, like the ballet dream sequence in the middle of the Broadway musical Oklahoma! Maybe all tech meetings should have musical interludes The meeting then paused for a musical interlude.
