		<title>How Much Are Gas Taxes? Most People Don’t Know</title>

		<description><![CDATA[So let’s give clear, meaningful transportation subsidies instead. | Author’s note June 2022: As American families buckle under high gas prices and the Biden administration considers a gas tax holiday that would almost entirely benefit Big Oil corporations, it’s worth recalling the points made below: 1) gas taxes are largely invisible to consumers, and 2) if governments really wanted to help people needing to move around their cities and towns, they’d invest generously in reducing reliance on gasoline.

		<title>Nine-year losing streak continues for US fracking sector</title>

		<description><![CDATA[Oil and gas output is rising but cash losses keep flowing  | Oil prices rose and oil and gas production boomed during the third quarter of 2018. But the US fracking sector continued its nine-year streak of cash losses. All told, a cross-section of 32 publicly traded fracking-focused companies spent nearly $1 billion more on drilling and related capital outlays during Q3 than those companies generated by selling oil and gas. Only 10 of the 32 companies secured positive cash flows for...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Architecture students reimagine coal, oil, and gas in Cascadia. | The Northwest’s fight against an onslaught of coal, oil, and gas export projects&#8212;what Sightline calls the thin green line&#8212;has given rise to what is surely one of the most robust environmental movements in the region’s history. Cascadians have stood up in opposition to carbon fuel proposals in numbers unprecedented for any civic debate, repeatedly packing local hearing rooms to standing-room-only, burying government agencies with hundreds of thousands of comment letters,...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Pouring fuel on the fire, a rail-to-ship facility has potential for large-scale disaster. | The latest wave in the tsunami of the Northwest fossil fuel export schemes has washed up in the form of a propane-by-rail facility on the Columbia River. A firm currently calling itself Waterside Energy recently announced plans for a $450 million liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), or propane, export project at the Port of Longview in Washington. The proposal comes on top of a revamped plan by the company to develop...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Macklemore agrees with us, Australians' evaporating gasoline, and more. | Eric: In the wake of the fiscal cliff debate, Public Policy Polling released (apparently serious?) survey results that are, hands down, the funniest opinion research I&#8217;ve ever seen. To wit: When asked if they have a higher opinion of either Congress or a series of unpleasant or disliked things, voters said they had a higher opinion of root canals (32 for Congress and 56 for the dental procedure), NFL replacement...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How we replace coal plants is as important as when they close. | Oregon has been having a robust debate over the appropriate date for closing the state&#8217;s lone coal power plant. The Boardman plant could theoretically operate until 2040, but its owners have proposed an earlier closure to avoid investing in expensive pollution controls. There&#8217;s been a lot of discussion about whether the plant should close in 2015 or 2020 (and how much its owners must spend in the meantime.) But that...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Recently-added gas power could nearly replace Washington's coal-fired power output. | Now, here&#8217;s something I didn&#8217;t know: since mid-2007, electric utilities have added a total of 1,360 megawatts of new electricity generation capacity in the Seattle-to-Portland corridor. First the details.  Then I&#8217;ll explain why this number is so important. In June of 2007, Portland General Electric opened the Port Westward Generating Plant about an hour&#8217;s drive north of Portland.  The plant has a rated capacity of 400 MW, and is considered...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[To replace Centralia's coal power, we should know more. | In my last post, I argued that we&#8217;re working in the dark when it comes to figuring out how to replace the electricity generated by Washington&#8217;s only coal-fired power plant. One key unanswered question is how much of that energy is really necessary to keep the lights on here in the Northwest. But let&#8217;s ignore that missing piece of information for now and presume&#8212;for the sake of this exercise&#8212;that you...]]></description>
