 Chevron, the second-largest US oil company, plans to leave its historic headquarters in California and relocate to Texas over the next five years, citing increased regulations and state climate action.The company, whose corporate forerunners have been based in the state since 1879, will shift its headquarters to Houston, Texas.“We believe California has a number of policies that raise costs, that hurt consumers, that discourage investment and ultimately we think that’s not good for the economy in California and for consumers,” Chevron CEO Mike Wirth told The Wall Street Journal.In the last year, California passed a law putting limits on...

The New Republic

The Republican attorney general of Texas sent armed police officers after Hispanic voters—some in their 80s—to intimidate, threaten, and destroy them financially by forcing them to hire lawyers to defend themselves, even though they are perfectly legal voters.It’s a manifestation of the new unofficial Republican slogan: “If you can’t win on the issues, cheat. And if cheating doesn’t get you over the top, intimidate!”As is the case with so many bad Republican ideas (outlawing labor unions, ending welfare programs, banning abortion, gutting women’s voting and economic rights, etc.), this one started during the failure of Reconstruction in the 1870s.

J.D. Vance was greeted by loud boos during an address to the International Association of Fire Fighters in Boston on Thursday—and that was only the beginning of an incredibly rough speech for Donald Trump’s running mate. “Thank you guys—” Vance said as he grabbed the mic to speak, only to be interrupted by loud booing from the audience. “Semper Fi guys,” Vance said, seeming to signpost his background as a Marine to get the hecklers to stop. “Sounds like we’ve got some fans and some haters, that’s okay,” he joked. “Listen to what I have to say here, and I’ll...

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. last week ended his strange campaign—which
included horrific
revelations about his personal life, along with the more morally neutral
but unusual disclosure that a
worm has eaten part of his brain—in the most disgraceful way possible: by
endorsing Trump. Much of RFK Jr.’s campaign and platform was objectionable. But he also had a few appealing causes, including his passion
for fighting toxic pollution, especially microplastics,
and ensuring food and water safety. In endorsing Trump, he’s managed to turn
his back even on those: The former president’s track
record on these issues is terrible.Democrats, on the other hand, are reasonably well equipped
to address environmental safety and...

Tipping on cruise ships is always a controversial topic. Some cruise passengers believe that tipping should be a personal choice, and others argue that automatic tipping policies are necessary to ensure fair compensation for crew members.

Imperial College London research has found limits to how quickly we can scale up technology to store gigatonnes of carbon dioxide under Earth's surface. Current international scenarios for limiting global warming to less than 1.5 degrees by the end of the century rely on technologies that remove carbon dioxide (CO2) from Earth's atmosphere faster than humans release it. This means removing CO2 at a rate of 1–30 gigatonnes per year by 2050.

WHITE MOUNTAIN—“That’s a lot of horses,” lamented Cheyenne resident Robyn Smith from a high-desert ridgeline. It wasn’t her first exasperated exclamation. “Argh, oh crap,” was her immediate reaction to learning a federal judge had given the Bureau of Land Management the OK to proceed with plans to fully remove two wild horse herds from the landscape in southwest Wyoming.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) released the 2024 U.S. Energy and Employment Report (USEER), which shows that the energy workforce overall added over 250,000 jobs in 2023; 56% of those were in clean energy. The clean energy sector now accounts for more than half of new energy sector jobs and is growing twice as fast the rest of the energy sector and the U.S. economy overall.

A new direct air capture (DAC) method to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere has been proposed, and it's inspired by natural mechanisms. Researchers in the UK have looked at how biological membranes transport chemicals passively through a flow between high and low concentrations, as Anthropocene reported. With this as a guide, they've built a special membrane by drilling conical holes into an alumina tube and filling the material with molten carbonate salt.
