RMP maps energy infrastructure like power plants, oil wells, LNG facilities, pipelines, and storage facilities.  RMP got our start with mapping energy infrastructure when oil majors returned to Michigan in 2008 to try high volume hydraulic fracturing all over our state.  RMP has been on an insatiable mission to learn about all forms of energy from oil, coal, hydro, nuclear, wind, biomass, and solar ever since.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below is a listing of five of RMP’s “101” posts about different energy topics.  RMP analyzes energy in the Michigan Basin as well as other places around the world like China, Europe, and California where we track hydrogen refueling infrastructure.  RMP first started studying petroleum geology in Michigan when large oil companies came to Michigan in 2009 to begin a process called “fracking” using large volumes of Michigan fresh water coupled with horizontal well bores.  This new hydraulic fracturing technology was unknown and threatened our water.  The more RMP & our volunteers studied the process of large volume water withdrawals the more it became apparent how complex world energy consumption can be.  To help future generations migrate from a fossil fuel economy to a green hydrogen economy is the net result of this sabbatical pursuit and it has become RMP’s mission and purpose to share green energy knowledge with the world as a means to protect Michigan’s and the world’s fresh water.   Protecting our drinking water while still being able to make quadrillions of BTUs with no CO2 is what RMP hopes to educate the world about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
