"Solar paired with storage fared relatively well during Hurricane Ida in Louisiana in September 2021, including at a 50-unit affordable apartment building that kept power as the storm knocked out transmission lines carrying electricity into New Orleans."
"Federal weather officials believe that, on balance, this winter will be colder than last and require more energy to heat homes. Though milder temperatures are expected in the Southwest and along the Atlantic Coast, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration forecasts colder weather in the frigid parts of the country, where the most heating fuel is consumed."
"The solution, according to Gates, is creating better technological alternatives where it is the same price or cheaper to accomplish the same goal in a climate-conscious way. Gates has long talked about the space between the cost of how something is conventionally done and the way it should be do in a decarbonized way the 'green premium.' To make meaningful change on climate change, that green premium has to slowly reduced and then eliminated in all sectors of the economy, according to Gates."
"There is more than enough clean energy to power the world — let’s stop pretending that we have to regress as a species to save the environment. Pursuing a policy of clean energy abundance by incentivizing free market investment can enable us to continue decreasing emissions and lifting billions out of poverty."
"The West has surrendered wise policy—or even simply non-suicidal policy—in favor of allegiance to pipe dreams. Then we wonder just why reality seems to keep collapsing in on us like an abandoned house."
Erik Kobayashi-Solomon writes in Forbes about a Kansas-based sustainable agriculture startup. online pharmacy strattera for sale no prescription pharmacy “When PrairieFood ‘slurry’ is applied to agricultural fields, the organisms within the soil think they have stumbled upon an all-you-can-eat buffet. They consume the carbon and provide ‘services’ to the crops (e.g., ‘fixing’ nitrogen – taking...
"The construction industry is responsible for an oversized chunk of the carbon emissions that cause climate change. More than a quarter of the total carbon comes from operating buildings — things like heating and cooling — and about 10% of the world’s emissions originate in the process of creating building materials, such as making steel and concrete. Part of Rheaply’s mission is to improve the secondary market for building supplies, thus reducing emissions and doing its part to save the planet."
"The declining costs of carbon-capture projects make them more economically viable and offer a way to reduce emissions while other technologies evolve, Ms. Adomait said. She cited hydrogen fuel and direct-air capture, or extracting carbon dioxide from the air, as examples of carbon-reducing technologies still in development."
"Other auto makers also have moved to leverage their experience developing battery-powered cars to delve into the energy space. Tesla Inc. operates an energy-storage business, which generated $866 million in revenue during the second quarter. Toyota Motor Corp. in June began sales in Japan of a battery-storage system for residential use."
"We’ve installed a labyrinthine permit approval process that drastically stalls or outright blocks important infrastructure projects from ever getting constructed. The average is nearly five years and $4.2 million just to complete the review process, that is before developers can even start building. The median Environmental Impact Statement is more than 600 pages long."
