In the past three years, another nonsensical idea has sprung up to somehow allow shipping of molecules for energy. The premise is that liquified natural gas (LNG) goes in one direction and liquified CO2 (l-CO2) gets put in the same tanks and goes the other way. It sounds so obvious! … [continued]
The past year saw amazing developments in climate, energy, and more that will make a difference for years to come.

Multiagency effort aims to identify and characterize lost wells, including methane emissions and other environmental impacts
When did you create Terraform, and what’s the story behind it? What was your initial inspiration?
