### Nike Air Sneakers, Sulfur Hexafluoride Credits

- **Episode:** [1708: Gaytheist](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1708-gaytheist.md)
- **Published:** 2024-10-31
- **Time:** 2:54:55–2:57:33
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1708-gaytheist/chapter/nike-air-sneakers-sulfur-hexafluoride-credits.md

Nike reportedly earned $700 million in carbon credits by removing sulfur hexafluoride from its "Air" sneaker line. The gas is considered a potent greenhouse gas, thousands of times more powerful than carbon dioxide. The hosts describe this as a "boondoggle," where a company creates a problem and then receives financial rewards for solving it.

### SF6 Greenhouse Gas, Wind Power Industry, Electrical Insulators

- **Episode:** [1173: Vinyl Vote](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1173-vinyl-vote.md)
- **Published:** 2019-09-19
- **Time:** 2:34:51–2:38:49
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1173-vinyl-vote/chapter/sf6-greenhouse-gas-wind-power-industry-electrical-insulators.md

Sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), a potent greenhouse gas 23,500 times more harmful than CO2, is being highlighted as a "dirty secret" of the renewable energy industry. The gas is used as an electrical insulator in wind turbines and high-voltage switchgear to prevent fires and accidents. While effective, leaks of SF6 pose a significant environmental risk, leading to calls for stricter regulation or more expensive alternatives in the green energy sector.

### Boston Subway Terror Simulation, Toxic Gas Exposure

- **Episode:** [228: Gassed in Boston](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/228-gassed-in-boston.md)
- **Published:** 2010-08-22
- **Time:** 19:35–26:13
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/228-gassed-in-boston/chapter/boston-subway-terror-simulation-toxic-gas-exposure.md

The Department of Homeland Security conducted a simulated terror attack in the Boston subway system, releasing sulfur hexafluoride and perfluorocarbons to study gas propagation. The hosts highlight that sulfur hexafluoride is a potent greenhouse gas and perfluorocarbons can cause flu-like symptoms. They question the safety of exposing the public to these chemicals under the guise of security research.
