From the opening question to the closing remarks of the debate, divisions in the party over health care, immigration and how to tackle climate change were on full display. The president has kept controversy over his racially divisive attacks at a high boil into a third week by leveling criticism at Rep.
More than half of registered voters now believe the president is racist, according to a poll Quinnipiac University released on Tuesday. That includes 80 percent of black voters, 55 percent of Hispanic voters and nearly six in 10 female voters.

Border Agency Sexual Assault Allegation: Accusations of sexual assault and abuse of child migrants by border agents has spurred almost two-dozen new investigations at the Department of Homeland Security, as well as an overhaul of reporting protocols.
Customs and Border Protection can take the immediate steps to correct them, acting Commissioner Mark Morgan told the Senate Homeland Security Committee in response to a question from Sen. Kyrsten Sinema D-Ariz. Michaela Ross has more. Over children, including babies and toddlers, have been separated from their parents in the past year over infractions, like minor traffic violations, the ACLU said.

The measure includes provisions that would lead to child migrants being held in detention longer as their families await court proceedings, and make it easier to deport unaccompanied minors back to their home countries, both of which are unpopular with Democrats. Jerry Moran R-Kan.
Moran said he and Blumenthal are now writing their own bill in a bid to see if they can attract the support of other lawmakers as the August recess looms. Maria Cantwell D-Wash. Cantwell is circulating a legislative framework of her own, according to sources familiar with the matter who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the work. Daniel R. Stoller and Rebecca Kern have more. Self-Driving Car Bill Talks With Industry: Self-driving vehicle legislation could get new legs this Congress as House and Senate committee staffers reached out to industry groups yesterday to revive talks on how a federal framework for the transportation technology could look, a Senate committee aide said.
Staffers at the House Energy and Commerce Committee and Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee have been meeting in recent months to come to an agreement on priorities and principles for a new autonomous vehicle push in this Congress. Now largely on the same page, they are turning outwards for the first time in this Congress to gather feedback on issues including the necessary vehicle standards and addressing cybersecurity concerns, the Senate aide said.

The conditions would require Saudi Arabia to have agreements in place for nuclear cooperation and comprehensive safeguards. The measure will make sure U. Chris Van Hollen D-Md. Along with Van Hollen, the legislation is sponsored by Sens.

Sequestration will cut domestic spending on things like education, national parks, air traffic control, and consumer safety protections by about 5 percent and most defense spending by 7.
This webpage is devoted to tracking both projected and actual impacts on affected federal programs. It includes original reports and analysis from the Center for Effective Government, as well as links to reports in the media and selected organizations. Sequestration Central: News and Impacts. What's New? Carbon sequestration is the process of capturing and storing atmospheric carbon dioxide.
It is one method of reducing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere with the goal of reducing global climate change. The USGS is conducting assessments on two major types of carbon sequestration: geologic and biologic. The injection of CO2 in deep subsurface sedimentary reservoirs is the most commonly discussed method; however, the potential for CO2 leakage can create long-term stability concerns.
This report discusses the Cores were analyzed The U. Geological Survey is currently conducting a national assessment of carbon dioxide CO2 storage resources, mandated by the Energy Independence and Security Act of Pre-emission capture and storage of CO2 in subsurface saline formations is one potential method to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and the negative impact of global Biochar is charcoal similar to chars generated by forest fires that is made for incorporation into soils to increase soil fertility while providing natural carbon sequestration.
The incorporation of biochar into soils can preserve and enrich soils and also slow the rate at which climate change is affecting our planet. Studies on biochar, such as This objective is imperative because at present, six coal-to-liquid facilities in Shaanxi Province are capturing and The major For carbon sequestration the issues of monitoring, risk assessment, and verification of carbon content and storage efficacy are perhaps the most uncertain.
Yet these issues are also the most critical challenges facing the broader context of carbon sequestration as a means for addressing climate change. In response to these challenges, Carbon Key geospatial data carbon sources, potential storage sites, transportation, land use, etc. Mapping and characterization of potential geologic reservoirs are key components in planning carbon dioxide CO2 injection projects.
The geometry of target and confining layers is vital to ensure that the injected CO2 remains in a supercritical state and is confined to the target layer. Also, maps of injection volume porosity are necessary to Coal samples of different rank were extracted in the laboratory with supercritical CO2 to evaluate the potential for mobilizing hydrocarbons during CO2 sequestration or enhanced coal bed methane recovery from deep coal beds. The concentrations of aliphatic hydrocarbons mobilized from the subbituminous C, high-volatile C bituminous, and anthracite Terrestrial carbon sequestration has a potential role in reducing the recent increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide CO2 that is, in part, contributing to global warming.
Because the most stable long-term surface reservoir for carbon is the soil, changes in agriculture and forestry can potentially reduce atmospheric CO2 through increased soil Following an assessment of geologic carbon storage potential in sedimentary rocks, the USGS has published a comprehensive review of potential carbon storage in igneous and metamorphic rocks through a process known as carbon mineralization.
Methane emissions from restored wetlands may offset the benefits of carbon sequestration a new study from the U. Geological Survey suggests. The USGS methodology for assessing carbon dioxide CO2 storage potential for geologic carbon sequestration was endorsed as a best practice for a country-wide storage potential assessment by the International Energy Agency IEA.
Yousif Kharaka will present a talk in Cheyenne, Wyo. A new method to assess the nation's potential for storing carbon dioxide could lead to techniques for lessening the impacts of climate change, according to Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar, who praised a U. Geological Survey report in an energy teleconference today.
Imagine a new kind of farming in the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta - "carbon-capture" farming, which traps atmospheric carbon dioxide and rebuilds lost soils. Depleted gas reservoirs can provide enough storage to limit carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels for at least 20 years, to levels set for the U. Robert Burruss of the U. Geological Survey. A new method to assess the Nation's potential for storing carbon dioxide in rocks below the earth's surface could help lessen climate change impacts.
The injection and storage of liquid carbon dioxide into subsurface rocks is known as geologic carbon sequestration.
