"So, how does it work? TREES supports smallholder farmers with training, seeds, tools, and grants to grow 'forest gardens' instead of tired old monocultures. Supporting biodiversity helps to protect the health of the soil. Groups of farmers get regular support from lead farmers to nurture plots with around 5,800 diverse trees on just one hectare (2.5 acres)."
"Founded in 2021 and in the trial stage since then, Matium recently commercialized its two key products: Network, which connects various stakeholders in the recycled plastics trading sector with a goal of simplifying buying and selling, and Core, an enterprise resource planning system that 'automates all of the back of house operations and management' for plastics recycling firms, the company stated in a recent announcement."
"The balloons use satellite communication to deliver their data in real-time. The world currently lacks weather data for 85% of the atmosphere, according to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). Windborne’s goal is to close this gap with its technology — using fewer balloons to offer global coverage."
"To achieve the fusion reaction, hydrogen must be converted into plasma, a state of matter in which negatively charged electrons separate from positively charged atomic nuclei in a sort of atomic particle soup. The transformation to plasma requires temperatures on the order of one million degrees."
"While this is a demonstration facility and relatively small compared to a full-sized, natural gas plant (25 megawatts compared to a range of 100 to 1,800 megawatts for a commercial plant), it’s an example of innovative efforts in a small but growing segment of the oil and gas industry to find ways to reduce emissions associated with using their products."
"Mid-Atlantic and west coast states are forecast to have the biggest hikes in home electricity costs from June to September, jumping about 12% from the same period last year, said NEADA and CEPC, which are both Washington-based policy organizations focused on affordable energy access for people with low incomes. Steep rises of about 10% are also likely for Midwestern states and parts of the U.S. south, the organizations said."
"The United States has an opportunity to be copper independent via domestic production, and it is in the nation’s interest that the Biden administration advance projects that display the country’s unequivocal commitment to environmental and industrial leadership. There is no place better than in our backyard to show both can be responsibly achieved."
"While proponents of the federal regulations may defend the amount of red tape involved in the federal program, with demands on where a charging station can be placed and the types of licenses people need to build one, the fact is that the private sector is already building out a nationwide E.V. charging network that will be available to most drivers."
"The startup, called Lumet, is the brainchild of Benny Landa, who founded the company that developed the first digital printing press. That company was sold to HP for $830 million in the early 2000s. Lumet is working with Bank of America to raise hundreds of millions of dollars in the coming months, Landa said."
"In fact, a 2013 congressionally sponsored National Research Council study, led by the father of climate economics and future Nobel laureate, Yale’s William Nordhaus, concluded that green handouts and tax breaks are 'a poor tool for reducing greenhouse gases and achieving climate change objectives.'"
