Albert Eisenberg writes in The Washington Examiner about one solution to slash emissions. “The free market is leveraging new technology to come up with ingenious solutions to our environmental problems. These are not always expensive or transformational, but rather incremental and realistic. If we could cut U.S. emissions by several percentage points without massive big...
Josh Owens of OilPrice.com writes about nuclear energy’s relevance. “Ultimately, while the promise of new nuclear technology may not convince critics, the need to reduce emissions and increase energy and national security is going to become increasingly hard to ignore.” Read the full article here.
"A surging economy is essential for a sustainable environment. The free market’s innovation and growth unlocks energy technologies that will power the world to a near-term cleaner future at affordable prices."
"Skala uses a 'thin-film PV module' atop a network that transfers the electricity generated into the building's main power supply. According to The Guardian, it can generate 50 times the energy of a typical rooftop photovoltaic solar array used in residential homes."
"These changes are largely focused on long-term sustainability. But Schwagerl, who serves as vice president of the Minnesota Farmers Union, says cover crops proved their worth 'pretty darn quickly.' Within a year of planting, the soil 'looks better and we get a little bump in our yield' for her regular grains."
"[T]he resolution comes as a smart, compact, one-stop-shopping declaration on why a commonsense policy on natural gas would please just about anyone (including Mother Nature) not bound to some dishonest ideology."
"Ramping up renewable energy such as solar is crucial to Biden's goal of cutting U.S. greenhouse gas emissions by 50% to 52% by 2030, versus 2005 levels, as well as decarbonizing the U.S. power grid by 2035."
Catherine Clifford writes for CNBC about nuclear waste’s energy potential. “Fast reactors don’t slow down the neutrons that are released in the fission reaction, and faster neutrons beget more efficient fission reactions, Gehin told CNBC.” Read the full article here.
"Any sensible, realistic, long-term climate policy must include all of the above elements. We can no longer afford to cater to progressive pipe dreams — but need to approach this issue with common sense and pragmatism. That’s what the American people want, and that’s the only way we’ll ever actually tackle climate change."
“'Are we open to looking at strategies that nudge technologies to economic sustainability? Yes. But a lot of that can be achieved through R&D partnering with innovators,' said Graves, who represents an oil and gas district experiencing sea level rise and is currently the ranking GOP member of the Democratic-led Select Committee on the Climate Crisis."
