"The Conservative Energy Network (CEN) will host a webinar on Wednesday, October 27 at 11:00 AM ET to discuss the study’s findings with Dr. Rhodes. CEN believes that today’s economy calls for a rethinking of the role of utility providers. Policies should be enacted to encourage competition in the marketplace and recognize the rights of individuals to choose how they purchase and consume electricity. You can register for the webinar here."
"Negotiators from nearly every country on earth, financiers who oversee trillions of dollars, and environmentalists are descending on Glasgow for the most important climate meeting since the Paris agreement in 2015.
The Biden administration believes that private companies and markets are not effectively pricing into their calculations the effects of man-made climate change on housing, stocks and bonds, physical assets, crop yields, and fire risks.

Panera is focusing on three key 2025 targets to reduce emissions: transition to 100 percent circular, reusable, recyclable or compostable packaging; using renewable energy for at least 50 percent of Panera Bread locations; and making 60 percent of its entrees menu Cool Food Meals.
"A new frontier for nuclear energy in the United States is under exploration, and Xcel Energy is at the forefront with a project to produce hydrogen, most likely at its Prairie Island plant near Red Wing, Minnesota."
"IN JACK'S SOLAR Garden in Boulder County, Colorado, owner Byron Kominek has covered 4 of his 24 acres with solar panels. The farm is growing a huge array of crops underneath them—carrots, kale, tomatoes, garlic, beets, radishes, lettuce, and more. It’s also been generating enough electricity to power 300 homes."
"Hy Stor wants to start producing hydrogen in 2025, several years before most analysts believe it will be cost-effective to make with renewable power. The company is targeting 220,000 kilograms of eventual daily production — orders of magnitude larger than what’s envisioned for the pilot projects that have proliferated across the U.S. in recent years. Stretched out over the course of a year, Hy Stor’s target production would be enough to fuel the equivalent of 25,000 Hyundai trucks, according to the company."
"The shipping industry as a whole agreed in 2018 to boost energy efficiency in the maritime sector by at least 40 percent over the next decade and halve greenhouse gas emissions by midcentury compared with 2008 levels."
"According to a new study, we could reduce these emissions by up to 68 percent – by switching to a sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) derived from plants. Specifically, the non-edible oilseed crop Brassica carinata, a variety of mustard plant. And it could be more cost-effective than petroleum fuel."
"Pique Action, a new media company launching today, is betting that short form 'micro-documentaries' that tell stories about people working to reduce greenhouse gas emissions will help to counteract our doom-scrolling tendencies."
