There has been a long-raging dispute in private investing circles over whether investing in fossil fuel energy is either wise from a societal viewpoint or profitable from a private one. Think: opioids, or ozone-depleting chemicals, or leaded-gasoline, or asbestos, or DDT. And that’s what fossil fuel investing has become over the last 10 years. “Infrastructure” can be a very misleading word.

The Basin does not meet the state or federal ambient air quality standards for ozone and particulate matter, and existing regulations have to date proved insufficient to bring the Basin into compliance.

Soil is one of the most important natural resources we have, yet we’ve degraded over a third of the soil used to grow food, feed, fiber and fuel with intensive farming practices. Soil removes about 25 percent of the world’s fossil fuel emissions each year through carbon sequestering, a natural way of removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

Wind and solar are now cheaper than all fossil fuels. The total cost of ownership for electric vehicles has been lower than fossil fuel vehicles since 2015. This means, when businesses buy fossil fuel motors, they are polluting and losing money. European and American auto-makers have been dangerously slow to eliminate fossil fuels, stuck in a culture that brought us " dieselgate ": the 'cheat devices' that caused thousands of excess deaths worldwide.

The chemiluminescence detector (CLD) method of measuring NO is based on the use of a controlled amount of ozone (O3) coming into contact with the sample containing NO inside a light sealed chamber. Consequently, chemiluminescence is the preferred measurement method for development engineers at manufacturer laboratories working on new technologies to reduce NOx emissions in the combustion of fossil fuels.
