Without damaging the environment . One possibility is to put the Carbon Dioxide back where it came from in underground rock formations. The Midwest Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnership is investigating this strategy which will help mitigate the effects of the continued use of fossil fuels for energy. Renewable Energy Sources are another option. And in golden, colorado, the Natural Renewable Energy Laboratory is trying to scale up processes for creating biofuels from the products of American...

Catastrophic fires have severe longterm impacts to watersheds which are felt far beyond the area directly impacted by the fire. Unlike the more employers the aftermath from the severe fires we are experiencing as a result of the unnatural force conditions increased sediment loads and debris the reduce the Storage Capacity and a reservoirs and affect the predictability of runoff. Increased organics and sediment led to increase capitol. The cost of hundreds of millions of dollars. We know from sci...

Oil, natural gas, and coal. But burning these fuels emits Carbon Dioxide a Greenhouse Gas that contributes to climate change. How can we continue to supply our evergrowing need for power without damaging the environment . One possibility is to put the Carbon Dioxide back where it came from in underground rock formations. The Midwest Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnership is investigating this strategy which will help mitigate the effects of the continued use of fossil fuels for energy. Renewa...

Protect our watershed. Were also involved in a project with the Forest Service, bureau of reclamation city and national tore rest foundation to treat the 634,000 acre watershed that drains into the cc craigen reservoir.

Vent of a Biomass Program might be able to do to help . First, with the increase in funding we received this year for hazardous fuels and where the majority of our work is in the wild land urban interface, that is going to allow us to expand that and have more acres. For instance, theres 2. 5 million acres as the target for this year, and out of that, 2. 1 of that occurs in the highest priority areas. The second part of it is with finding more use for the biomass and whether its through an integ...
