Sane Energy

Sane Energy Fighting for a Sane Energy future. We build every campaign through a lens of racial, social, and economic justice. Attitudes. Action.
(1)

To realize our vision, we work to change three conditions:

Awareness. We work to:

• Alert the public to the risks that fracked gas infrastructure poses to the climate and public health.
• Amplify the voices of the most vulnerable communities
• Reinforce the work that other grassroots groups are doing to educate the public about clean energy solutions.
• Spotlight the undemocratic way that toxic projects are rubber-stamped by government agencies.
• Increase awareness of alternative models of energy ownership.
• Educate the public about the rights of nature and threats to safe, clean habitats. We aim to:

• Dispel the false narrative that gas is safe and clean and that its development benefits the climate.
• Foster the understanding that a transition to community-owned renewable energy is
not only possible but is already underway.
• Set an example by learning from those most impacted by toxic projects. Build a movement that models respectful, collaborative, bottom-up organizing. Acknowledge at all of our events that we occupy Indigenous land and support reparations work. We empower people by:

• Mentoring and fostering community-based leadership so that, together, we magnify our reach.
• Building a movement that models respectful, collaborative, bottom-up organizing.
• Meeting people where they are, i.e., understanding that all tactics are not for everyone
• Lending direct support to our allies around the state via art building, strategy,
training, and media outreach.
• Instigating and supporting action and alliances at the local, statewide, and regional levels.

Per MSN Hurricane Isaias has shut down about two-thirds of Gulf of..ahem, Mexico's crude oil production, forcing operators to abandon over a third of the basin's manned platforms. It arrivied Friday evening on a collision course with the northern Gulf Coast when global crude prices are under pressure from missile strikes on Saudi Arabia's oil infrastructure.

Hurricane Isaias shut down 63% of Gulf oil output as Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia sent crude above $100, squeezing U.S. energy markets from two directions.

For food workers in commercial kitchens running on gas a lot of the heat goes into the air & worker's bodies. A new study published in Environmental Research Letters, quantifies for the first time the strong difference in conditions in commercial kitchens using gas & propane and those running on electricity. The study found that fossil-fuel run equipment emits dangerous amounts of air pollution & heat in kitchens even with ventilation; electric equipment doesn't. Over 75% of US restaurants run on gas.

Dangerous amounts of heat and air pollution swirl in most commercial kitchens — even when the stoves are off. Switching to electric appliances helps…

potus' EPA, that does NOT protect people and the environment, gave us its second notice of pushing back the deadline for Big Polluters to tell us the amount of GHG their power plants are spewing. They didn't have to tell in March, and now they don't have to tell again in October. C'mon potus is proud of his proposal to repeal the Endangerment Finding for power plants; he denies GHG's are bad for your health.All manner of safeguards of the public are being wiped out.

Washington, D.C. — Today, Donald Trump’s Environmental Protection Agency announced it would once again extend the deadline for Big Polluters to report how much greenhouse gases their power plants are emitting. The deadline, originally in March 2026, was pushed back to October for the EPA to fina...

US heat pump sales remained strong the first half of 2026 despite potus' removal of federal tax credits of up to $2,000; heat pump tech, both cooling and heating homes & businesses, is strong & should match or exceed its best year. Getting homes and buildings off polluting gas furnaces is a super, healthy, good-for-the-Earth-outcome. Some buyers may even not have known about the tax credit, as research shows heat pump adoption in the U.S. to be driven by geography, climate, and electricity prices.

Demand for the climate-friendly HVAC tech has persisted even after Republicans killed incentives, with 2026 set to be another good year for the sector.

In a private meeting with the fossil fuel industry USEPA Administrator Lee Zeldin said
the agency will roll back safeguards decided in 2024 to limit methane pollution from the oil and gas sector. If agreed upon, the reversal would let bad actor corporations release more climate harming compounds & more pollutants into the atmosphere. As the announcement was made a big coalition of groups protested the rollback plans. In 2024 the Biden Administration issued landmark reduction standards for oil & gas to reduce these pollutants; the reductions should have been adopted decades before. To not flare, to inspect on a regular basis. After entering office in 2025 potus suspended use & enforcement of reductions. Elimination & cutting leak monitoring is now on tap.

South Korea is taking smart, bold action to break their dependence on fossil fuels in a Korea Green Transformation Strategy 10 year plan to reach a carbon neutral economy with sustainable economic growth. 100 GW of renewable energy will be added to the nation’s grid by 2030 with upgraded transmission lines, investing $750 billion (€665 billion) over ten years. It will decarbonize the nation’s main greenhouse gas emitting industries, petrochemicals, cement, steel & more. The steel deal isn't great, possibly using hydrogen to reduce iron into steel; hydrogen can be created at scale either with methane, or renewable energy; trusting they opt for the clean energy route. South Korea will add to its competitiveness while fighting the effects of climate change.

South Korea plans a massive investment in renewable energy, hydrogen, green steel, and high voltage transmission lines by 2036.

When reviewing benefits of the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act of 2026 , one must consider the tradeoffs, mainly the amount of fossil fuel growth the bill could enact and the cost. The bill could mean major clean energy projects, big cuts in carbon pollution & enough renewable energy to slow climate change, but pluses can't make up for added fossil fuel growth the bill could enact. In the past plans for clean energy have been accepted that included compromises favoring fossil fuels, as in 2015, when removing a 40-year-old oil export ban to extend the investment & production tax credits. Since, US crude oil production rose 45.7 percent. The oil & gas industry has rigged the system in its favor; the bill must not be allowed to weaken the strongest tools available to stop harmful projects.

The price of driving transportation dependent on gas and diesel is more expensive & volatile than the price of driving an EV. Now due to potus' Iran war gas is $4,40 & up. A global conflict brings supply disruption with rising prices, which will go down but soon enough back up. Vehicles running on electricity have predictable fuel costs; as electricity prices are equated to $-per-gallon gasoline equivalent terms, adjusted for inflation since 2005, the price has remained close to a dollar-a-gallon equivalent mark for more than 20 years; gas prices go up & down. And potus & his ilk favor policies benefiting fossil fuel executives not regular people, raising costs & harming health, national security, and safety. We can choose options to ditch gas & go electric.

On September 18 Lexington, Kentucky Mayor Linda Gorton revealed she would veto a zoning ordinance text amendment (ZOTA) that had been passed with eight yes to seven no Lexington-Fayette Urban County Council votes. It would have opened at most no more than 1% of the county for large-scale agrivoltaic solar projects, with farming & renewable energy output on a shared site. Large scale solar is needed for the counties to reach their emission reduction goals; 1% of Fayette County land could provide as much affordable power as more than 30,000 lone rooftop solar setups. Favoring the ZOTA are the need to address local air pollution, to keep energy costs down, to preserve local industry & to protect against large solar utility projects.

Attribution science may finally make fossil fuel accountability real justice. The ability to compare the probability of extreme climate events with and without human influence is a game changer for people living in the real world. Science is key in the calculation of the amount and the ways carbon dioxide affected an event. Over the last two decades science has come far in determining cause and effect of climate.
Oh please!

However the U.S. Supreme Court rules, the work of holding oil companies accountable for climate change has a bright future.
