One thing I've learned to do when I have questions about social security number holders who are age 100 or older is to look up the SSA Inspector General audit report, "Numberholders Age 100 or Older Who Did Not Have Death Information on the Numident." oig.ssa.gov/assets/uploads…

The extreme fire conditions gripping Colorado today won’t disappear over the next few months. High temperatures and dry weather will likely persist into the summer, priming forests and grasslands for blazes. buff.ly/3v90Yjt via @samuelbrasch

Is #hydrogen a clean energy solution or a greenwashing boondoggle? Great story here from @Sammy_Roth that cuts through the hydrogen hype, and gives updates on the #hydrogenhub bid in Los Angeles & the billion-dollar Angeles Link pipeline proposal latimes.com/business/story…

"2000-2021 is the driest 22-year period since 800 A.D., which is as far back as the data goes...The analysis also showed that human-caused warming played a major role in making the current drought so extreme" nytimes.com/2022/02/14/cli…

Put a NO2 monitor in any home with a gas stove. And it will cause pollution levels to blow past EPA health based standards in "a few minutes". Where are our regulators....? @

Utah just closed the state's only open-pit coal mine since the Alton coal company missed several deadlines to replace $13.4M in fradulent reclamation bonds. Also, @brianmaffly reports Alton has failed to pay $443K in property taxes over the last 4 years sltrib.com/news/environme…

"Utility companies are moving faster and faster to phase out coal power as solar panels, wind turbines and battery storage systems get cheaper," reports @Sammy_Roth, and here's an overview of the last coal plants in the American West latimes.com/environment/ne…

New research from @Stanford shows 80% of the methane pollution from gas stoves comes from leaks when the stoves are turned off, and "it didn't matter if the stove was old or new or what brand it was," reports @jeffbradynews via @NPR npr.org/2022/01/27/107…

Over the last two months I've read dozens of studies about gas stoves and indoor air quality. I also installed monitors in our home and ran my own tests. Here's a thread on what I learned 🧵 #energytwitter

Biden admin defends Trump-era decision that fails to account for the costs of pollution from leasing publicly owned coal in the nation's largest coal-producing region sierraclub.org/press-releases…

“DOE has spent more than half a billion dollars on carbon-capture projects at coal plants, and they all failed to come to fruition." - @J_I_Fisher @SierraClub. “That taxpayer money has simply been a handout to the fossil fuel industry, and it should stop.” canarymedia.com/articles/carbo…

"Warming temperatures played a monster role in creating the conditions that enabled the fire that burned nearly 1,000 houses as well as other buildings in Boulder County on Dec. 30." -- @BigPivots #MarshallFire bigpivots.com/marshall-fire-…

The Code Red alert system for the suburbs near the #MarshallFire offers options to be notified about floods, tornados, severe T-storms, winter storms … not wildfires.

Denver now under a Winter Weather Advisory while a historic windstorm and wildfires burn through parts of the metro area. Unbelievable. #COwx #9wx

If you’re looking for up-to-date reporting on these fast-moving fires in Boulder County, CO, @lookner w/ @AgendaFreeTV is doing a great job

@brianmaffly Any update on this story? It looks like Alton's deadline to fix its fraudulent bond was yesterday, 12/14

Can this Utah coal producer do anything right? Alton Coal is again in violation of its permit, this time for putting up phony bond and failing to restore farmland. sltrib.pressreader.com/article/678697…

A year after the election and counting, with reclamation & enforcement issues at #coal mines mounting, groups are left wondering why there isn't an @OSMRE Director yet. Read the letter to @POTUS bit.ly/3EZwzq7 @USInteriorPress @thomashyoung

"We are beyond disappointed that the Biden administration’s EPA is defending a Trump-era decision that allows the views of southern Utah’s iconic scenery to be blurred by air pollution,” Alex Veilleuxof @healutah #coal subscriber.politicopro.com/article/eenews…
