"Often floated as the most efficient way to lower our carbon emissions, a carbon tax is a textbook example of blackboard economics: it may make sense in the classroom, but falls apart in the real world. Imposed unilaterally, the tax would harm American households, businesses and the economy at large while providing very minimal climate benefits."
"Climate change policy solutions largely focus on mitigation such as emissions reduction goals and temperature decreases. While global mitigation efforts can help reduce the risk of climate change, adaptation will be an important tool as well."
C3 Solutions explains the importance of China in addressing global climate change in China 101. “There is no realistic way the world can tackle climate change if China doesn’t reduce its emissions. Given China’s growing economic and geopolitical influence, it is imperative that the United States and the global community start holding the country accountable...
The Wall Street Journal’s Editorial Board writes on China’s latest play of the climate card. “The most significant of the ‘three bottom lines,’ meanwhile, is that the U.S. back off its defense of Taiwan—the island democracy that Beijing wants to absorb, potentially by force.

In America’s largest regional wholesale power market, PJM, competition has helped save $3.2 billion to $4 billion in annual electricity...
"With the Series B round Gatik has raised $114.5 million since its founding in 2017 and the new financing 'positions us to scale nicely from here,' says cofounder and CEO Gautam Narang.
"Dispatch Goods also picks up containers, which can be used hundreds of times, from individuals’ home or work addresses. During the checkout process, customers are autoscheduled for the collection day in their neighborhood. Dispatch Goods groups collections by neighborhood to reduce the CO2 emissions associated with its logistics activities."
The Department of Energy on CleanTechnica writes on their latest advancement in energy storage. “ENDURING uses electricity from surplus solar or wind to heat a thermal storage material — silica sand. Particles are fed through an array of electric resistive heating elements to heat them to 1,200°C (imagine pouring sand through a giant toaster). The...
"More proactive measures must be taken to limit the severity of these wildfires. It is well-known by now that fire suppression tactics in states like California have backfired spectacularly, by allowing 'fuel loads' such as underbrush and dead trees to pile up, effectively creating enormous tinderboxes."
