"A new study by Evolved Energy Research casts compelling insight into the heated debate around the IRA 45V clean hydrogen tax credits. The study finds that the three pillars of 1) new clean supply, 2) hourly matching and 3) deliverability will support substantial deployment of clean hydrogen in this decade. The study also concludes that all three pillars are the minimum guardrails against large carbon emissions increases from hydrogen production and derailing U.S. climate progress. The study – which can be added to the pile of evidence in favor of the three pillars—further crumbles unsubstantiated claims by proponents of looser rules that the three pillars will hobble industry growth. Those unsubstantiated claims are, yet again, proven to be resoundingly FALSE."

"The Mountain Valley Pipeline would stretch 303 miles, from West Virginia to North Carolina. It would cut through the Jefferson National Forest and cross hundreds of waterways and wetlands"

"Allowing this pipeline to move forward would accelerate climate change, in addition to the environmental destruction already caused by earlier construction."

I just did research for my #socialworkatSimmons on fracking and violence against women and girls - missing and murdered indigenous women and girls - #MMIW #MMIWG on my mind reading…

Hope all are well ❤️

Another pipeline, another #petition.

The Willow Project would produce an astounding 277 million metric tons of climate-busting carbon pollution and is just days away from being approved. Tell President Biden to reject this disastrous oil drilling project right now!
