Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world.
Click on the button below to show all Michigan oil & gas wells that have caused ground water contamination according to the Michigan DNR's 1993 SAP list. Note that some ground water contamination locations have been fully remediated and some are in active remediation. Currently there are 206 confirmed cases where ground water was contaminated as a result of an oil or gas well. We know of more wells and expect this number to rise as our research continues but we only list wells where we can get confirmation from MDEQ documentation.
Click on the button below to show all Michigan oil & gas wells that have had spills causing soil or water contamination according to the Michigan DNR's 1993 SAP list. Note that some spills have been fully remediated and some are in active remediation. Be patient as this map can take up to 10 seconds to load because there are over 1,700 markers.
Click on the button below to show our demo map of spill locations. Through boots on the ground research, we are collecting data and documentation on spill locations and putting the resultant reports on the location homepages. Click any of the markers on the demo map and check out the report on the location's homepage. We detail information about the ground water contamination at each of the locations and support the report with documents from various MDEQ field offices throughout the state.

The Select Committee on the Climate Crisis recently published (June 2020) a massive (547 page) & comprehensive report called “Solving the Climate Crisis”. The report was prepared by the Majority Committee Staff of the 116th US Congress pursuant to H.RES.6. RMP is a non-partisan organization and wanted to give a review of this report as …

RMP’s USA & CANADA QUARTERLY H2 INFRASTRUCTURE UPDATE 2020-Q2 tells the story of stations outside of California. While California is the epicenter of hydrogen infrastructure in North America, this quarter’s story is about the East Coast of the USA and Canada. We have evidence of several new Air Liquide stations on the East Coast as well as more stations in both western & eastern Canada. Click through to read RMP’s quarterly hydrogen infrastructure report.
It’s just past the 3 year anniversary of Elon Musk saying “All Superchargers are being converted to solar/battery power. Over time, almost all will disconnect from the electricity grid.” Since the Tesla CEO’s tweet on 6/9/2017 there are still zero off-grid 100% renewable Tesla Superchargers. Even though there are fewer hydrogen stations than BEV charging points across the USA, 13 hydrogen refueling stations are 100% renewable and every station in California is at least 33% renewable. While RMP supports BEVs whole heartedly, in this post we examine how hydrogen has major advantages over battery charging when it comes to working economically with renewable energy, with scaling up, and with refueling speed. Check our our latest post as we compare hydrogen refueling to Tesla Supercharging.
Could the Edenville Dam Catastrophe have been avoided? Maybe. A term you’ll be hearing in the coming weeks is “legal levels” of the lakes. But what does that mean? RMP found two comprehensive documents that shed light on the situation between the Four Lakes Task Force & Boyce Hydro & The State of Michigan. Click through to read RMP’s take.
RMP has been updating our map of all hydrogen stations in the USA & Canada. 6 Canadian locations have been added to the map. RMP’s map is now also connected to CAFCP’s SOSS updating system. Also, this post contains bonus pics of 5 new Air Liquide stations commissioning on the East Coast of the USA. Check it out yo.
RMPs USA & CANADA Quarterly H2 Infrastructure Report for Q1-2020 is off the press. The big story this Q is the new microgrid approval for Toyota’s Project Portal project. Also covered is the opening of the largest fast refueling h2 station in the USA at the Orange County Transit Authority located where MacArthur Blvd bisects the Santa Ana River in Southern Los Angelels. Another big refueling station opened in San Francisco too. Click through to read all about it.
The Redlands Rail Project has commenced in California and soon will host the USA’s first hydrogen powered train. Not only that, Michigan State University played an important role in helping the San Bernadino County Transportation Authority decide on using hydrogen fuel cells. Click through to learn more about the first #hydrail project in America & see RMP’s new Google map of exactly where the new rail project will be located.
Welcome new readers of RMP’s quarterly H2 infrastructure report. Each quarter RMP looks back on the major stories related to hydrogen infrastructure advancements and we compare the current AFDC database to the AFDC database in the prior quarter to see what has changed. The AFDC database is updated by the US Dept of Energy & …

Each month RMP publishes an update of hydrogen infrastructure updates in the USA & Canada. RMP uses the list published by the US Dept of Energy & compares the current list with the list from last quarter. We use that data to measure what is getting added & changing each quarter and try to put our fingers on the pulse of what is going on. Click through to read a recap of hydrogen infrastructure updates in the USA & Canada in the third quarter of 2019.
