Nine of the largest oil and gas companies reported receiving a combined $870 million. million for other categories of support to fossilfuels. Canada committed to phasing out subsidies by 2025 back in 2009. The post $18 billion to fossilfuels: Breaking Down the Numbers appeared first on Environmental Defence.
For years, grid parity – the time when solar and wind would be cost-competitive with fossilfuels and nuclear – was the holy grail of renewables energy, a target to reach in a distant future. The numbers for this year’s edition are quite impressive: Nuclear is the most expensive per MWh: $148 (+20% since 2009).
Last week world leaders gathered in New York for the UN Climate Ambition Summit where countries shared concrete action they’ve taken to phase out fossilfuels. There, the conversation was grounded in science, with leaders such as California’s Governor Newsom saying “The climate crisis is a fossilfuel crisis.
Job-intensive infrastructure upgrades, efficiency improvements, and measures to repair fossilfuel damage, including repairing roads and bridges (99%), weatherizing homes to make them more energy efficient (96%), cleaning up old oil and gas wells (95%), and reclaiming abandoned mine lands (86%), enjoy broad support among Pennsylvania voters.

Westmoreland County [PaEN] -- 6-Inch Conventional NaturalGas Gathering Pipeline Rupture Causes Spill In Rostraver Twp., Read more here. Violations continued.
Notably, in the same proposal, the Commission has also included screening criteria for gaseous fossilfuels. The Regulation sets a time limit on the inclusion of nuclear energy but not on fossilfuels and grants the Commission special powers to rule on nuclear taxonomy compliance.
Article 2 (1) and (3) rGD now differentiate between naturalgas and gases (defined as naturalgas and hydrogen). Accordingly, the Directive as well as the Regulation differentiate between rules applicable to naturalgas and gases more broadly defined. 31-33 rGD).
So when this industry and its drilling took off in the late otss, you know, 2009, 2010, we were sort of in the right place at the right time. We find in our studies that as somebody's value of their unconventional naturalgas development activity metric goes up, the risk or severity of the health outcome goes up.
Over the past 20 years, hydraulic fracturing has become the most popular method of extracting naturalgas and. While fracking has benefits such as increasing the availability of oil and naturalgas which in turn leads to a decrease in energy. degradation. . particularly. malfunction.
We all know that to successfully address climate change we need to phase out fossilfuels and switch to electric power. Unfortunately, the current Ontario government’s plan is to burn more fossilgas to generate power. . Between 2009 and 2016, Ontario built over 2000 MW of solar power and about 3000 MW of wind power.
DEP inspection report ] On November 8, 2023 , DEP did a followup inspection of the Brown 4 conventional gas well operated by Randy A. Dietterich in Robinson Township, Washington County and found the well continues to vent naturalgas that is a “hazard to the public health and safety” and continues to be abandoned without being plugged.
By Stepehen Wiegand In October 2009, EPA promulgated the Mandatory Reporting of Greenhouse Gases Rule. The proposed rules would require the reporting of fugitive and vented methane and carbon dioxide emissions, including carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide combustion emissions from flares.
in Stonycreek Township Somerset County and found the operator still has not submitted mechanical integrity, production and waste generation reports dating back to 2009. Holdings; conventional well owner DRI Opr Co failed to submit annual reports since 2009 and did not remove unused equipment from well site; Bradford Pipe & Supply Co.;
oil and naturalgas producing companies should not receive federal subsidies in the form of tax breaks because their businesses contribute to global warming, U.S. Secretary Timothy Geithner said when speaking to Congress on March 4, 2009. By Emma Hinnigan U.S. billion from 2011 to 2019.
The Pakistani prime minister is visiting Moscow as Russia looks for new clients to build infrastructure, and Pakistan seeks a steady supply of naturalgas. The long-term consequences, though, have almost everything to do with the future of naturalgas. Russia is the world’s second-biggest producer of naturalgas.
“Every time a company or organization installs an energy-efficient heating, cooling, or lighting system, it’s another step for Pennsylvania and the nation toward independence from fossilfuels. It creates good-paying jobs in energy efficiency system manufacturing and installation. Sullivan in 1978.
Last week, I joined my colleagues at COP28 in Dubai , as negotiators and civil society push for a fossilfuel phaseout to meet climate goals. This year there has been a lot of attention on the more than 2,400 oil and gas lobbyists at the climate meetings. Source: IPCC Sixth Assessment Report.
With 2,800 MW installed and operating by 2040, offshore wind would provide more than half of Maine’s electricity demand, even if the state’s demand more than doubled as the state moves to replace fossilfuels with clean electricity for transportation and heating.
Sandra Steingraber, Senior Scientist with the Science and Environmental Health Network , provided an overview of findings from the newly published 9th Compendium of Scientific, Medical, Media Findings Demonstrating Risk, Harms of NaturalGas Development and Infrastructure during a briefing hosted by the Better Path Coalition.
We’re in a race for lithium, copper, cobalt, nickel, and other critical minerals needed to move away from fossilfuels. An offshore wind plant requires 9 times the mineral resources of a naturalgas-fired power plant. In a way, you do have to choose.
[Note: Residents of Dimock Township have been waiting for reliable, permanent replacement water for their well water contaminated by shale gas fracking more than 20 years ago in the largest groundwater contamination event caused by shale gas development in Pennsylvania history.
Residents of Dimock, Susquehanna County and eight major environmental and advocacy organizations will hold a Stand With Dimock Day on August 16 to call attention to the fact that water supplies contaminated by shale gas development in 2009 have still not been replaced.
On December 1, 2023 , DEP inspected the Charter 502-2 conventional well in Scott Township, Allegheny County operated by Economy NaturalGas, Inc. DEP issued or continued 508 notices of violation for abandoning conventional oil and gas wells without plugging them so far in 2023. billion cubic feet of naturalgas in November 2022.
These provisions appear across the IRA and are administered through tax credits, funding programs for which local governments are eligible, and funding programs for which local governments are not directly eligible.
Health First Pennsylvania is a dedicated bunch of health professionals, health advocates, parents, faith leaders, all dedicated to trying to make the use and extraction of fossilfuels, especially methane, in Pennsylvania, as safe as possible, and to limit the damage.
Hausfather admits I am correct that wood fuel is far worse for people and wildlife than fossilfuels but then adds that biomass "is quite controversial and opposed by most environmental advocates." more land than fossilfuels, but those numbers are incorrect, and Hausfather has cherry-picked them, while ignoring better data.
Both the United States and the European Union electricity generations have 25-30% coal (historically much higher, hence its title of King), naturalgas 35%, nuclear 20-25% and renewables make up 15% on both markets. Ending fossilfuels subsidies and divesting away from coal will put the final nails in the coffin.
greenhouse gas emissions by 50 to 52 percent below 2005 levels by 2030. will need to rapidly decarbonize its electricity generating system, replacing fossilfuel power plants with renewable energy systems. It will also need to electrify various end-use sectors that currently rely on fossilfuels (e.g.,

Renewables contributed to electricity prices rising six times more in California than in the rest of the US since 2011, the state’s “take-off” year for rapid growth in wind and solar, a price rise that occurred despite the state’s reliance during the same years on persistently-low-priced naturalgas. Today, the US uses just 0.5
These higher costs are being driven by a major overreliance on naturalgas, which has sharply spiked in price and is currently the dominant fuel source in the US for both home heating and electricity generation. Likewise, pipeline giant Williams Companies now refers to its gas projects as “clean energy” projects.
