“We have an oil-based system, so to change that we need to reduce the demand for oil. It’s been a good reminder that we are the world’s top oil producer and that still has not insulated us from this crisis. “We can’t drill our way out of this problem. “We are wholly dependent upon oil and the crisis in Ukraine shows us that dependency is freighted with many costs, including national security,” Ori said. Large oil companies are considering an expansion in drilling should the high oil price linger. There is significant political pressure to increase domestic drilling in response to the Russia-Ukraine war, which has caused global oil prices to soar and the US to ban Russian oil imports.

“In an environment where it is profitable and where there is a market for oil, it is hard to think there won’t be drilling there for decades to come.” “The Permian is where a lot of the shale upstream investment will go and companies are getting better and better at extracting oil from there,” said Sam Ori, the executive director of the Energy Policy Institute at the University of Chicago. Posted by Brent Patterson on NovemNov Barlow in solidarity with. It means the US, the centre of the world’s addiction to oil and gas, will play an outsized role in the heatwaves, droughts and floods that will impact people around the planet. Blue Planet Project Barlow denounces water grab for fracking in New York state. One lobe of this formation, known as the Delaware basin, is predicted to emit 27.8bn metric tons of carbon during the lifetime of planned drilling, while another, known as the Midland basin, will potentially unleash 16.6bn tons of emissions. But the heart is the Permian basin, a geological formation 250 miles wide that sits under the mostly flat terrain of west Texas and New Mexico.

The plans include conventional drilling and fracking spanning the deep waters of the Gulf of Mexico to the foothills of the Front Range in Colorado and the mountainous Appalachian region. The study, to be published in the Energy Policy journal this month, found emissions from these oil and gas “carbon bomb” projects were four times larger than all of the planet-heating gases expelled globally each year, placing the world on track for disastrous climate change. Planned drilling projects across US land and waters will release 140bn metric tons of planet-heating gases if fully realised, an analysis shared with the Guardian has found. And the US, the world’s largest extractor of oil, is poised to unleash these fossil fuels in spectacular volumes. This year we received 490 submissions from six continents, with a prize of $2,000 going to the winner.The fate of the vast quantities of oil and gas lodged under the shale, mud and sandstone of American drilling fields will in large part determine whether the world retains a liveable climate.

Christina Kelly is filmmaker and visual artist whose works have been screened at the New Festival, Brooklyn International Film Festival, Animation Block Party, and Paris Short Film Festival. Her most recent documentary, Denise Ho: Becoming the Song, was a New York Times Critics Pick. “We feel very strongly about it, and it does allow us to get up in the morning and know that - it’s not the answer, but raising crickets is a piece of the puzzle.”Ībout the Filmmakers: Sue Williams is an award-winning producer and director whose films have aired on television in dozens of countries, including on PBS in the United States, and played in festivals around the world. “So climate change is our mission,” Simons tells Sue Williams.

(The third cricketeer is their son, Maddox.) As the film notes, eating insects, or entomophagy, is common in many parts of the world, and Claire Simons touts the food as having anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, and anti-hypertensive properties.Ĭrickets, she says, require “just a fraction of the land, feed, and water other sources of protein.” And raising crickets, Simons says, generates virtually no greenhouse gases. On 8 October, a scientists panel convened by the UNs. In “The Three Cricketeers,” the First Runner-Up in the 2022 Yale Environment 360 Film Contest, filmmaker Sue Williams tells the story of the Simons’ efforts to raise countless crickets and turn them into chocolate-covered crickets, cricket snacks, and cricket powder used in baking, all under the 3Cricketeers brand.
