Op-Ed: One Million Metric Tons—What It Took And Why It Matters
By AMANDA HEHR
COO
Kathairos Solutions
On May 30, Kathairos Solutions crossed a milestone we have been working toward since the company was founded: one million metric tons of CO2 equivalent eliminated through our nitrogen venting elimination systems. I wanted to take a moment to explain what that number means, how we got here, and why we think it matters beyond our own balance sheet.

Letter To The Editor: Response To James Rickman’s Op-Ed
By MATTHEW JEREMY
Formerly of Los Alamos
There was a lot of uninformed statements in James Rickman’s Op-Ed (link) but I will address maybe one or two.
James states and I quote: “Have the police discovered some new threat in Los Alamos that necessitates tap dancing on the Fourth Amendment and the fundamental presumption of innocence?”
