The Biden administration must act to protect the public from the rail industryโs dangerous plans for the energy transition.
Greeceโs worst rail disaster ever is the result of the same corporate cost-cutting and deregulation that led to East Palestine and Lac-Mรฉgantic disasters.
Senators recently interrogated Alan Shaw, head of the rail company, about Norfolk Southernโs record after last monthโs rail disaster in East Palestine, Ohio.
Science and data shows that ECP brakes help prevent rail accidents like the recent one in Ohio. So why won't the industry embrace them?
After a decade of losing hundreds of billions of dollars, the shale oil industry is finally making money โ and running out of oil.
DeSmog has mapped the fossil fuel interests lobbying for gas-derived hydrogen and threatening to derail the momentum of green hydrogen.
But even Sen. Joe Manchin admits a major flaw in the industry spin underpinning blue hydrogenโs supposed climate credentials.
A new study finds that hydrogen fuel produced from water using renewable energy will be cheaper than natural gas-based hydrogen with carbon capture by 2030.
Blue hydrogen isnโt a clean energy source and the economics donโt work, but that does not appear to be slowing its rapid adoption being driven by the oil and gas industry.
From the U.S. to Japan, governments are quickly putting money behind oil and gas industry efforts selling blue hydrogen produced by natural gas with carbon capture as a clean fuel for the energy transition. But new research finds blue hydrogen may be no cleaner than burning natural gas.
