"Facilitating a strong, steady transformation of our energy system is both a generation-defining challenge and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. We need every solution in our toolkit and every ally in our corner — and that includes the oil and gas industry."
"While gas prices are largely a result of global markets, policy decisions affect future supplies and investments. The ill-considered energy agenda being pushed forward by the White House has hurt American companies and consumers alike."
"Seventeen months later, greenhouse gas emissions are up, renewable-power development has slowed, and oil and coal consumption are on the rise. The biggest aspects of the green agenda are stuck in Congress, while Mr. Biden, facing surging energy prices and inflation, urged U.S. oil refiners this week to expand capacity."
“'We are excited to be scaling up our innovative technology with experienced investors and partners who recognize the need to decarbonize natural gas and the opportunity that turquoise hydrogen production represents,' said Eric McFarland, CTO of C-Zero. 'Natural gas provides a quarter of the world’s energy, so the scale of the opportunity ahead of us is enormous. But we cannot do it alone.'"
Derya Ozdemir of Interesting Engineering writes on one town’s attempts to save bees. “In this photovoltaic installation, the solar plant project — 100 MW and 200 hectares — combines agricultural usage — 3 hectares of aromatic plants: sage, rosemary, oregano, and coriander — and beekeeping with 50 or 60 hives.” Read the full article here.

Oil industry insiders may coast along and enjoy the profits from existing capacity, but they’re unlikely to invest in facilities to meet...
"During manufacturing, a batch of Solidia concrete absorbs CO2 so voraciously that if you listen to the gas entering the curing chamber, you'll hear a hissing noise. 'The mix literally inhales carbon dioxide, like a human would inhale air,' says Riman."
John Schwartz of The New York Times writes about carbon-free natural gas. “That’s where fans of NET Power say the company can make a difference: its technology burns natural gas without causing the biggest problems fossil fuels typically do. It combusts a combination of natural gas and oxygen inside a circulating stream of high-temperature carbon...
"In a statement, Gothenburg-headquartered Volvo Trucks said refueling of the vehicles would take under 15 minutes. Customer pilots are set to begin in the next few years, with commercialization 'planned for the latter part of this decade.'"
"Complacency is not an option. The regulatory status quo threatens reliability, the clean transition and energy affordability. Swapping monopolies for markets and driving consensus on regulatory modernization is the clear path to a brighter energy future."
