"Too often, their work is made much more difficult — if not impossible — by far-left environmental groups who use strategic lawsuits to prevent forest management activities from taking place. It’s time that elected officials in the nation’s capital put an end to these abusive lawsuits or, at a minimum, roll back some of the worst impacts."
"Wyoming’s accessible permanent geologic storage and existing infrastructure and Colorado’s developing policy environment to 'evaluate the regulatory, economic, technological, and research opportunities in the carbon dioxide removal and direct air capture area,' are cited as driving forces behind the partnership."
Bernard L. Weinstein writes about the EPA’s methane rules in The Hill. “Companies would not be prohibited from using technologies other than OGI, but under the rule, they would be required to follow up with a blanket OGI survey anyway. Because of cost duplication, this requirement would discourage oil and gas producers from adopting potentially more...
"But the lure for OCI and others of making ammonia with a smaller carbon footprint is a business with potential beyond the farm. That includes production of fuel for coal-burning Asian utilities and for ships, both uncertain but potentially lucrative commercial possibilities."
"Because the earth’s crust is thinner than usual along the rift, it has vast geothermal potential. The American government reckons Kenya alone could generate 10,000mw of geothermal power, more than ten times the amount it currently produces. A by-product of such power stations is plenty of waste steam, which can then be used to heat dac machines. Moreover, since close to 90% of Kenya’s power is renewable, the electricity these machines consume does not contribute to more global warming."
"Nuclear power growth will end with the next radiation release unless we replace regulators with people who observe facts and consequences. The near century of concessions changing 1934 radiation limits from 40 microSv/hour to 0.001 Sv/year has not reduced harm one bit, but has increased public fear because the more restrictive limits have no evidential justification. Fear of nuclear power has killed many more people than radiation."
"'Unfortunately, the narrative to date has been driven by idealists. Extremists who believe there’s a binary switch that overnight we can turn from System A to System B,' he said, referring to System A as the inherent fossil fuel backed economy, and System B as decarbonizing to zero carbon overnight.'"
Jeff St. John of Canary Media reports on AtmosZero and its mission to clean up manufacturing. “Typical residential heat-pump systems deliver about 300 to 400 percent as much energy in the form of heat as the energy they use to transfer it. AtmosZero’s heat-pump boilers can practically deliver about 200 percent of the same energy input as heat, he said. But...
"It’s all too much even for environmentally conscious Germany. A survey this week, taken before the court ruling, found some three-quarters of respondents would prefer that Parliament postpone passing the law. Respondents in another poll opposed banning old-style heating systems 'in the foreseeable future” by a margin of 49% to 45%, and 67% of respondents worried the government’s proposals would “overwhelm them financially.'"
Katherine Blunt and Jennifer Hiller of The Wall Street Journal report on utility companies’ efforts to shore up the power grid. “Duke in June announced plans to sell about 3,400 megawatts of wind, solar and battery projects to Brookfield Renewable for $2.8 billion. Brian Savoy, Duke’s chief financial officer, said the sale would help the company...
