Making sense of hydrogen Diverting clean energy away from more beneficial uses toward hydrogen production can slow America’s progress in reducing our impact on the climate.

Despite the hype, hydrogen isn’t a climate solution in any situation where electrification is possible – that includes fueling cars, heating buildings and many industrial processes. Our new paper, “Making Sense of Hydrogen” provides details. frontiergroup.org/resources/ma...

For months, the FedEx delivery truck that serviced my neighborhood had a hole in the muffler. I could hear the truck from blocks away. FedEx has replaced the truck with an electric version and it makes me so happy every time I see it. It's virtually silent--all I hear is the driver's music sometimes

Has DOGE indeed dropped the matter? A friend showed me the mailed request her 104-year-old grandmother received to prove she's alive and should still receive benefits.

I would like to offer the same advice to job applicants. Watch for both the instructions at the top and the "[[insert accomplishment here]]" prompts in the middle

I live in Santa Rosa and my understanding is that the water department here has been helpful to other communities that have also had benzene contamination, post-fire. My guess is if you call Santa Rosa Water, you'll find someone who is willing to chat. I don't have a name for you, though

My son just went through driver's ed and behind-the-wheel training, and was taught to merge into the bike lane before turning right. Drivers aren't supposed to turn across the bike lane.

An old Coleman gas furnace sits on a front porch in front of blue and white cardboard boxes that contained a new Mr Cool mini-split heat pump components.

Someone in my neighborhood pulled out this ancient-looking Coleman gas furnace and is installing a new heat pump (that's what was in the cardboard boxes). Another house with less climate pollution.

Santa Rosa pedestrian killed in crash; DUI suspect slams into patrol car at roadblock, police say The pedestrian fatality was being investigated when a DUI suspect approached a roadblock, police said. The driver is accused of striking a police car before pulling over.

The reporter noted that the pedestrian was wearing dark clothing (aren't we all?) but didn't mention if both headlights work in the car, if the street has sufficient lighting, or how the police knew the driving wasn't speeding.

I haven't looked at the data, so I'm not sure if we have a worse drunk driving problem or better news coverage of it. When I moved here in 2012, I immediately noticed all the newspaper stories about car crashes. Way more than in the Baltimore paper, though that's a bigger population.

Less coal, more oil: Climate pollution trends by state Greenhouse gas pollution decreased in 44 states from 2005 to 2022, and increased in six.

Climate pollution fell in 44 states from 2005 to 2022, largely driven by the retirement of many coal-fired power plants. Emissions rose in 6 states, linked to rising oil and gas production and increased ag emissions. See data for every state. frontiergroup.org/resources/le...

Yesterday, my teenage son told me the most embarrassing car he could imagine owning would be a lifted truck. That gave me a moment of maternal pride.
