Green Car Reports (GCR), owned by High Gear Media, is reporting false & misleading information about Hydrogen fuel cells under the guise of legitimate news with journalistic integrity. GCR’s article posted May 4, 2017 titled “Energy use for hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles: higher than electrics, even hybrids (analysis)” gives the appearance of a legitimate & scientific news article but it is far from truthful. GCR’s post is slanderous and false. RMP has taken time to rebut the article paragraph by paragraph because we take clean energy seriously and this type of fake news cannot be tolerated. In RMP’s post, we first post what John Voelcker wrote and then demonstrate how wrong and misleading his “Anti-Hydrogen” reporting truly is. Want to learn the truth about Hydrogen fuel cells and how “Anti-Hydrogen” sources like GCR try to discredit it? Then grab some popcorn because you’re going to want to read this article.

There’s a paradox related to oil pipeline protests: they will not stop nor even slow down the use of oil. Only ridding our society of internal combustion engines will end the use of oil. Internal combustion engines are the reason we have oil pipelines and getting rid of them is the only way to get rid of oil pipelines.

RMP has been publishing the Michigan Oil & Gas Monthly for 24 months straight. This will be the last monthly publication of this magazine. We simply don’t have the funding to continue publishing a monthly magazine. If you’re a regular reader like so many thousands of other people across Michigan, please consider making a tax-deductible donation to our small Michigan based 501(c)3 organization to help us cover the costs of publishing. Thank you.

When operators want to drill oil wells in densely populated areas, it creates controversy. That’s exactly what happened with the Word of Faith 16-27 well in Southfield, Michigan. Southfield, with a population of 75,000 people, has never had an oil well until now. After failed protests & failed attempts by the City of Southfield to stop the well, it’s been drilled and completed. The well is flow testing now and it looks like it’s going to be a long term producer. Read this post to learn more about what you can expect to see next at the Word of Faith oil well in Southfield and view recent pictures & video of the well from November of 2016.

It looks like Jordan Development’s Word Of Faith 16-27 Niagaran oil well is going to be a long term producer based on the flare stack shown in this post’s video. Check it out and stay tuned for RMP’s November MOGM where we will explain what Southfield resident’s can expect to happen at this location as Jordan Development puts in the necessary infrastructure to produce. The November MOGM will be published November 30, 2016 and we will have more pictures of the well along with our explanation of what will most likely happen next.

In the October 2016 MOGM we look again at the issue of putting Antrim Shale Wells on a vacuum system. We look at the numbers, like always, and we end with some final thoughts on how the word “fracking” has ironically set back environmental protection.

At this point in October of 2016, all the reporting through the first six months of 2016 is complete. RMP has again downloaded, parsed, and analyzed the Michigan hydrocarbon production data for the Michigan Basin.

On October 3, 2016, the US Army (TARDEC division) and General Motors revealed the new Chevrolet Colorado ZH2 military vehicle powered by Hydrogen Fuel Cells. This vehicle is a beast that operates silently and can be powered by hydrogen fuel which can be made from water or sewage or just about anything. The soldiers driving this truck can literally drink the water emissions from the tailpipe. It’s time Michigan got off its derriere and starting building some H2 filling stations so folks like you and me can start driving these FCEV marvels of technology. Oil is obsolete.

Michigan is playing a leading role in Carbon Capture & Sequestration (#CCS). Developing solar & wind as renewable energy resources is very important, but there is a reality that fossil fuels will provide a majority percentage of global energy for many decades to come even if every single world citizen & legislator focused on eliminating coal & oil. These are facts. Check out RMP’s report on why #CCS is so important, how Michigan is playing a leading role in #CCS, and check out RMP’s exclusive new map of Carbon Dioxide sequestration wells.

RMP is a Michigan based 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to the responsible migration away from crude oil as an energy source and the advancement of fuel cell electric vehicles. We do what we do because we believe freshwater is world’s most valuable natural resource and there is no need to threaten water to make energy.
