What niche form of authoritarianism am I worrying about today? Oh, just the ability for the President to fire FERC commissioners at will. www.eenews.net/articles/sup...

The thousands of dollars of therapy are working! I got stuck in a downpour on my morning walk and while I was frustrated, I also thought "you're about to move to the desert, who knows the next time you'll get a chance to be surprised by rain?!"

Another week of cursing the @ipcc.bsky.social for saying CCS is "inevitable." PLEASE update your analysis!!

📢 SEND A LETTER to FWW management here! actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

My workplace union is in the process of bargaining our new contract. Management has refused to budge on their definition of temporary workers; leaving key staff outside of union protections. Join me in sending an email to our management demanding they address the issue!

🚨 CALL FOR SUPPORT! @foodandwater.bsky.social is hiring non-union temporary organizers to do the SAME WORK as their union teammates, but WITHOUT the same rights under our contract. At the bargaining table, FWWU has proposed several compromises to address this issue, but FWW management hasn’t budged.

Always fascinating to hear phrases like "cradle to grave carbon accounting" being used by tech CEOs. Optimistic in theory, but I've really never seen companies actually helping to reduce emissions and create systems that could do cradle-to-grave accounting of carbon. heatmap.news/podcast/shif...

U.S. friends, this sure-to-be-amazing webinar on Tuesday 5/26 (noon EDT) features leading EJ voices from the Permian Basin and Gulf Coast where LNG is extracted, created, and exported + climate leaders from Germany working to end dependency on U.S. LNG imports. europe-calling.de/en/webinar/e...

"What if we made carbon capture even worse?" - the oil and gas industry, apparently.

Good headline: To capture carbon from the environment we need to first decarbonize the grid (Also stop drilling) A systems approach to the eternal question of whether you should mop the bathroom floor before or after turning off the tap of the overflowing bathtub: www.colorado.edu/rasei/2026/0...

What's the deal with industry wanting to store carbon in the ocean? @foodandwater.bsky.social is calling on Secretary Burgum to pause a rule that would accelerate carbon storage in the ocean. @deptofinterior.bsky.social www.foodandwaterwatch.org/2026/05/15/b...

The Stop Carbon Capture Alliance is hosting a webinar TOMORROW at 7PM ET to discuss the 45Q tax credit. Join experts in data science, pipeline safety, and federal policy to discuss why this tax credit should be eliminated. bit.ly/45QSCAM

Should you be worried about carbon dioxide pipelines? www.chronicletimes.com/stories/lett...

Bad week for CCS supporters. Even our uber right-wing counterparts see through the greenwashing. www.desmog.com/2026/05/06/f...

Direct air capture is not a good use of resources, especially when we have the proven options of wind and solar.

Yet another paper finding that Direct Air Capture is an opportunity cost that increases air pollution and climate damage relative to spending the same money on clean, renewable energy. www.nature.com/articles/s44... Other papers web.stanford.edu/group/efmh/j... web.stanford.edu/group/efmh/j...

🧪 FIRST STUDY to compare direct air capture of CO2 vs renewables: “An amount of money spent deploying wind or solar delivers more combined climate and public health benefit than if it is spent on DAC.” Releasing CO2 into air and then trying to suck it up is dumb. techxplore.com/news/2026-05...

"If your sink is overflowing, turn off the tap before you begin mopping the floor..." Renewable energy is more cost-effective than Direct Air Capture for reducing carbon emissions. techxplore.com/news/2026-05...

You’ve heard of the scam called carbon capture and storage, but did you know that there are plans for burying CO2 at sea? And maybe using it for offshore oil drilling? Proud to be part of this effort to say “might be a bad idea; let’s think about this.” www.foodandwaterwatch.org/2026/04/30/1...

NEW: We organized a letter from 110+ groups urging Interior @secretaryburgum.bsky.social to reconsider opening continental shelf waters to offshore CO2 transportation and injection. These carbon capture projects are nothing but climate scams being pushed by Big Oil! https://fwwat.ch/428D72Z

🗣️ New CCS scam alert! Did you know the federal government is currently working on a rule to open our federal waters to offshore carbon sequestration?! 110+ groups just sounded the alarm on this dangerous proposal. www.foodandwaterwatch.org/2026/04/30/1...

Started my morning by overhearing former government employees praising CCS and wondering why it's just not taking off as a technology! I had to interrupt.

I'm so grateful for a career that allows me to ask questions for a living. Curiosity has gotten me pretty freaken far! Especially as a kid who got yelled at for asking too many questions....

VICTORY: “Talen Energy tried to get 800 acres of Pennsylvania farmland rezoned so it could develop the center with Amazon. A grassroots effort defeated the plan.” Power to the people. civileats.com/2026/03/30/h...

So grateful to have a job that allows my values to guide me rather than KPIs & profit, or whatever.

Reminder to send that random LinkedIn message! People like talking about their work and a surprising number of people reply to questions about their field! [even people in industry!]

It's 7am in DC and my win for the day is getting a cop to move his illegally parked cruiser by shaming him with "you're supposed to follow the same rules as all of us"

If the goal is deportation, why do they need places to warehouse people??? (I'm very purposefully using dehumanized language)

Signs of the time: why are there so few staff members working on the biggest CCS project in the US? Air Products is quietly idling progress on this "first of its kind" carbon capture attempt. www.an17.com/news/latest_...

Weird choice to demonize China for doing the same thing US-based oil and gas companies are doing! Carbon highways are a scam, whoever is doing them! www.evworld.com/article.php?...

Carbon capture does not reduce emissions - three case studies to prove it. Instead, carbon capture causes more harm than good, and only serves to prolong fossil-fuel industries Edited excerpts from "Still No Miracles Needed" www.landclimate.org/ccs-no-mirac... @landclimate.bsky.social

Y'all they've already taken away tap to pay from rural Texas. Why cant we have nice things?!

The Trump admin spiked plans to tighten regulations on carbon dioxide #pipelines, but past accidents and an expected boom in such pipelines suggests stronger oversight is needed, writes @shapersyris.bsky.social deceleration.news/carbon-dioxi...

A climate agreement that doesn’t mention the fossil fuels causing the climate crisis? Make it make sense❗ It’s only “logical” when the process has been co-opted by fossil fuel lobbyists.

So the last person responsible for tracking leaky oil wells in ALL the national parks in the U.S. was just forced to step down, with no replacement in sight. It's not like oil infrastructure has a history of making toxic messes, right?? Right?? 🫠 https://nyti.ms/4hSCHEY

Should tax dollars be used to further pollution?

foodandwaterwatch.org/2025/11/05/waste-and-fraud-45q-carbon-capture/ "there’s not enough accountability in how companies report the CO2 they “capture.” To “verify” companies’ captured CO2, the IRS depends on numbers that the companies themselves report to the EPA, without checks from either agency."

🥳 VICTORY 🥳 This week, we stopped an amendment in Congress that would have criminalized pipeline protests. THANK YOU to the thousands of people who sent messages to Congress and helped protect our right to free speech!

In case anyone forgot, ADM's existing injection well leaked for months and is a failure bc the CO2 wasn't actually permanently sequestered. Google is betting on a bad and unsafe technology #nofaslsesolutions

Taking vocabulary directly from oil and gas messaging, Google calls point-source carbon capture at methane gas plants “clean, affordable, [and] reliable.” But CCS at methane gas (or coal) power plants has never been any of those things.

Google will build a natural gas power plant and capturing the CO2 emissions. Sounds good, right? One hitch: carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) hasn't exactly lived up to expectations, and that's before we start talking about methane. techcrunch.com/2025/10/23/g...

@cantwell.senate.gov pipeline safety is critical! We need common sense rules for CO2 pipelines. This bill does not go far enough to close loopholes without @markey.senate.gov's amendments!

🚨The Senate Commerce Committee is taking up pipeline safety RIGHT NOW. We need commonsense protections from carbon pipelines, not more toothless guidelines. www.commerce.senate.gov

Dear @sentedcruz.bsky.social Cruz & @cantwell.senate.gov, I stand with you in my commitment to making our country's pipelines safer. But that can not include an attack on my First Amendment right to raise concerns about a project. Reject the Sheehy Amendment!!

Wanna hear a joke? Someone with undiagnosed ADHD trying to navigate the American healthcare system to finally get diagnosed 😆

"While improved pipeline safety is an urgent need in the United States, the real threat doesn’t come from protesters." Please take action to set common-sense rules for CO2 pipelines @cantwell.senate.gov @commerce.senate.gov earthrights.org/blog/the-u-s...

Stop letting industry write the rules ✋ CO2 pipeline ruptures & leaks can endanger people & wildlife for MILES around. The proposed PIPES Act falls short & lacks commonsense, evidence-based safety measures. Call your Senators 📞 855-980-2396 📞 to tell them why pipeline safety matters to you!

It’s time to stop letting the pipeline industry write the rules. The Senate Commerce Committee is marking up the Pipeline Safety Act THIS WEEK. Call your Senators 📞855-980-2396 📞and tell them why pipeline safety matters to you.
