  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I have family in the petroleum industry. I suggest anyone concerned with energy futures do their own independent research.

And how exactly are we supposed to do our own independent research? Going to oil fields and asses the reserves? Checking the accountancy of different oil companies?
Does everyone here has a training in geology, accountancy, silicon crystallography, climatology, energy grid engineering all at once?

IN sorta kinda related news...

Pushed by Trump policies, top U.S. battery scientist is moving to Singapore​

Shirley Meng explains why her passion for decarbonizing the global economy required her to relocate​

After 2 decades [in the US], the University of Chicago (UChicago) materials scientist, who also heads a Department of Energy (DOE) research hub, is now heading back to Asia.

On 1 July, Meng will become vice president for innovation and global affairs at Singapore’s Nanyang Technological University (NTU), her undergraduate alma mater and a growing research powerhouse.

In making the move, Meng is also stepping down as director of the $62 million Energy Storage Research Alliance (ESRA) based at Argonne National Laboratory, one of two DOE battery hubs launched in the waning months of former President Joe Biden’s administration.

The move follows a similar $1-billion deal with the French firm TotalEnergies — which agreed in March to walk away from offshore wind leases off the North Carolina and New York coasts — and is yet another escalation of President Trump’s efforts to obstruct clean energy projects in favor of oil, gas and coal.

7 states sue Trump administration over nearly $1 billion deal to halt offshore wind farm​


In March, the U.S. Department of the Interior reached a $928 million deal with TotalEnergies to halt construction of the wind farms and redirect the investment into domestic fossil fuel initiatives.

Attorneys general in seven states in the Northeast, including Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island and Vermont, filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia on Tuesday, alleging the Trump administration illegally used nearly $1 billion in taxpayer dollars for the deal.

The coalition also accuses the deal of violating the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act, which restricts the Interior Department’s ability to cancel offshore wind leases.
