PFAS “forever chemicals” were detected at 1,329 of 1,602 – or 83% – of tested locations at rivers, lakes and other surface waters between 2022 and 2024, according to our new analysis with @EnvAm. Explore all the data in our new interactive map. frontiergroup.org/resources/…
50 years ago this month, Amory Lovins proposed a bold "soft path" vision for America's energy future. As @FrontierTony writes, it remains a "road half-taken," and has lessons for us today. frontiergroup.org/articles/t…
For decades, scientists have been unsure of the impact of climate change on El Niño cycles. Regardless, this year’s super El Niño is a glimpse into what a future marred by extreme weather events might look like if we don’t reduce emissions now.

Industrial discharges, wastewater, landfill leachate, sewage sludge and firefighting foam can all send PFAS into our waterways. Testing data show the result, with PFAS detected at more than 1,000 locations in America’s rivers, streams and lakes. frontiergroup.org/resources/…
As many as 114 different PFAS compounds have been found in America’s surface waters, according to our new review of testing data. Overall, PFAS were detected at 83% of the 1,602 monitored locations included in our analysis. frontiergroup.org/resources/…
Data center energy demand threatens to lock in a new generation of natural gas power plants, as well as dirtier air and water and more climate-altering carbon emissions for decades to come. frontiergroup.org/resources/…
In early 2023, natural gas was expected to account for 19% of all new power plant capacity in the U.S. by 2030, with solar and wind making up most of the rest. Today, it’s 42% … and rising. Our new data viz with @EnvAm tells the story. frontiergroup.org/resources/…
NEW ANALYSIS: Data center demand is driving a surge in proposals for new on-grid fossil fuel power plants. Planned solar additions are stagnating and wind power additions are down sharply. Our new data visualization has the details. frontiergroup.org/resources/…
NEW: Plans for on-grid natural gas plants have tripled since early 2023, and are up 40% in 2026 alone. The main culprit? Electricity demand from data centers. frontiergroup.org/resources/…

Hurricane Polo was one of the strongest hurricanes ever, supercharged by this year’s record-breaking super El Niño. But is this another example of an extreme weather event fueled by climate change? Arielle Schultz unpacks the evidence.

Policy Analyst @QuentinGood4 was recently quoted in a recent Bloomberg article about the heat island effect of data centers. bloomberg.com/news/newslette…
By targeting areas newly exempt from federal drilling rules ... oil and gas producers could ramp up drilling in vast areas of the West with less regard for the environment and the interests of surface landowners." frontiergroup.org/resources/…
"Permitting reform" is back in the news. In 2024, @FrontierTony and @LisaKFrank1 dissected an obscure proposed change in oil and gas leasing rules with big potential consequences for America's West. frontiergroup.org/resources/…
Can data centers heat up nearby neighborhoods? Policy Analyst @QuentinGood4 was quoted in a @Bloomberg article on this emerging concern. bloomberg.com/news/newslette…
More rampant wildfires. More severe heat. More intense rainfall. Science has told us how climate change is driving more extreme weather around the world. But what about this year’s super El Niño? Our new article explores the evidence.

A super El Niño is coming, and by some measures, it’s already breaking records. But is it being driven by climate change? New research using 1,000 years of fossil records suggests it might be, writes Arielle Schultz, though the jury is still out. frontiergroup.org/articles/s…
New York City responds to our investigation with @EnvAm and @NYPIRG highlighting persistent problems with lead contamination in school drinking water across New York State. nydailynews.com/2026/09/17/c…
Parents expect that when lead is found in water at their child’s school, action will be taken to fix the problem for good. Yet, in New York State, some water outlets that had been “remediated” for lead years ago are exceeding state standards again. frontiergroup.org/resources/…
