BP funded Princeton to advocate reliance on natural gas and carbon capture and storage to achieve greenhouse gas emissions reductions. Similar arrangements exist between other companies and universities.

WATCH our new TV ad! I've spent my career getting things done, like securing abortion rights, stopping gun violence, and growing Maryland's economy. In Congress, I'll keep fighting for our community. #MD03

As the world's largest LNG supplier, the U.S.' seven operating facilities represent about one-fifth of global capacity. With more projects under construction, the nation's LNG exports could nearly double by 2028. Additional #LNG build out is unnecessary.

Good news: US CO2 emissions continue to decline!

More problematic: All those declines are more or less concentrated in the power sector, and we need to make more rapid progress with transportation, industry, and buildings (as well as non-energy emissions from agriculture).

Combination of spurt of #sealevelrise over past decade and more intense rainfall is increasing the risks of compound flooding along low-lying Gulf Coast. Climate change is real, y'all. Chris Mooney

It was a great event at Senator Pamela Beidle's home. We were so honored that legendary US Barbara Mikulski Mikulski joined us to show her support. I'm looking forward to being a champion for families in Congress—just like she was. #MD03

This could be a bid deal for #ChesapeakeBay as well. Reduce mercury pollution and atmospheric deposition of nitrogen, assist state GHG reduction goals, and demonstrate effectiveness of regulation vs. volunteerism.

'I want the oil and gas and petrochemical industry to know that in Louisiana, the industry will find hospitality second to none.' Lip service to protecting the environment (her job). Not even a whisper about effects on climate change, already ravishing the state. Tragic.

Humbled and honored to share that ILA Local 333 has endorsed me for Congress! My grandfather was a seafarer, so this just means the world to me. I'm eager to work together to reopen the channel, reopen the Port, and rebuild the Key Bridge.

With the retirement of Ben Cardin and John Sarbanes, Maryland needs another Bay and climate champion in Congress. State Senator Sarah Elfreth has demonstrated she had the chops. If you a voter in #MD03 , the choice is clear.

It’s 14 years today that the BP blowout occurred in the Gulf and we are still working to implement Oil Spill Commission recommendations to reduce risks. My thoughts on the need for more thorough environmental review of drilling and development plans. thehill.com/opinion/energy…

On this day, 14 years ago, the Deepwater Horizon oil spill occurred in the Gulf of Mexico. As we remember the events of that day, we reflect on the progress made to our coast in the years since.

Tribute to Bob Graham by Michael Grunwald captures the wonderful man I worked with on BP Oil Spill Commission: 'nerdy, funny, curious, courteous, compassionate, widely respected and magnificently weird.' politi.co/3U51KJj via POLITICO

A great example of how UMCES is working to advance the energy transition needed to limit climate change while protecting our natural resources.
