"In some cases, new fossil fuel infrastructure could still lower greenhouse gas emissions compared to previous practices. Replacing wood and other biomass fuels with liquid propane for rural home cooking would reduce emissions and improve air quality. Deploying natural gas for local industry would be better than burning (also known as flaring) or releasing (also known as venting) the gas into the atmosphere in many cases."
"Air pollution from rudimentary cooking fuels such as charcoal, firewood, coal, agricultural waste and animal dung causes 3.7 million premature deaths per year, ranking it the third largest cause of premature death globally, according to the report."
"'The green ammonia that Talus’s systems produce is both reliable and locally produced, which reduces costs by addressing supply chain insecurity and challenges,' Matt Carstens, Landus’s CEO and president, said in a response to questions. Green ammonia is 'an exciting innovation to consider,' he said."
"The 800,000-square-foot arena has a maximum capacity of 18,100 attendees and is the home of Seattle’s Kraken NHL team and a concert venue. The facility replaced the KeyArena and opened in October 2021. Amazon paid for its naming rights."
"More than 120,000 acres have just been set aside as a conservation area in Idaho. As Boise State Public Radio reports, the Bennett Hills conservation area covers more than 120,000 acres of rolling grasslands in southwest Idaho, home to upland game bird species and wintering elk and mule deer."
"Under the program set to begin next year, Duke will buy the new appliance or whatever improvements are deemed appropriate for participating households. Over the course of up to 12 years, customers then pay the company back through their utility bills. Even while paying the tariff, which includes the company’s 8.4% of return, the energy savings should lower their monthly costs by 10% or more."
"The power purchase agreement was motivated by Rivian’s goal of operating with net-zero carbon emissions by 2040. The EV company is investing in both solar and wind projects to reach that target. It also wants to add low-carbon electricity to local grids that are currently still dominated by fossil-fuel sources."
"Meaningful climate progress can only be accomplished with responsible federal spending. Growing government and saddling future generations with more debt, as programs like the Climate Corps would do, will only stymie economic and environmental progress."
"Additionally, owners of current Hyundai and Kia electric vehicle models will be able to access Tesla Superchargers using adapters beginning in the first quarter of 2025."
"In addition to data centers, NuScale says its SMR technology is well-suited to supply energy for district heating, desalination, commercial-scale hydrogen production, and other process heat applications. In May, NuScale signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Nucor Corporation to explore co-locating VOYGR power plants to provide baseload electricity to Nucor’s scrap-based electric arc furnace (EAF) steel mills. The companies said they will also explore an expanded manufacturing partnership through which Nucor, the largest steel producer and recycler of any type of material in North America, would supply Econiq, its net-zero steel products, for NuScale projects."
