Put the Freeze on CO Poisoning this Winter

" Old man winter is gripping much of the nation and that means many consumers are turning up the heat in their homes. Some are using drastic measures to stay warm, increasing the risk of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning—an invisible, odorless, colorless killer. Did you know that winter is peak season for CO deaths in the United States? The deadly gas kills more than 400 people every year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention...."

Energy-related CO2 emissions for first six months of 2016 are lowest since 1991

"U.S. energy-related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions totaled 2,530 million metric tons in the first six months of 2016. This was the lowest emissions level for the first six months of the year since 1991, as mild weather and changes in the fuels used to generate electricity contributed to the decline in energy-related emissions. EIA’sShort-Term Energy Outlook projects that energy-associated CO2 emissions will fall to 5,179 million metric tons in 2016, the lowest annual level since 1992..."

How to Store Carbon

"Carbon capture and storage is a key component of the U.S. Department of Energy’s approach to combatting climate change. The concept is simple: capture CO2 before it leaves a power plant so it can’t trap heat in the atmosphere. Energy innovators have developed many technologies to separate CO2 from the gas stream of coal-fired power plants, but what happens once CO2 has been captured? CO2 storage is a little more complicated than simply locking the captured gas into a vessel and throwing away the key..."
