"For decades, the term 'environmentalist' has been associated with urban activists marching in city streets, holding signs that demand the abolition of fossil fuels. The fact is urban environmentalism has failed us. Urbanites prescribe climate solutions from ivory towers while rural Americans have the most to lose."
"Breakthrough Energy Ventures has backed HyPro in a $22 million round to take the company’s product from lab prototype to the factory floor. HyPro says its revolutionary method for producing green hydrogen is over 95% efficient, safe and cost-competitive with fossil fuel derived hydrogen."
"Low prices for U.S. gas truly are a great thing. Gas is now second to sister fuel oil and supplies 33% of our energy – and 40% of our electricity, double the share of second-place coal. Low and stable natural gas prices have benefitted families and helped businesses reduce costs, saving a family of four, for instance, $2,500 per year since 2007."
"Degrowthism may seem like the only reasonable response to the climate challenges we face, but the experience of enforced economic shrinking during the pandemic indicates the pain would outweigh the benefits — especially for the world's poorest."
Hydrogen is the ultimate game changer. Not only does it assure energy system reliability, affordability and security, but because it is versatile, it can address the sustainability needs of a multitude of markets.
"The administration should use this moment to explore newer, more-creative market-based solutions. Indeed, whatever its instincts to the contrary, this would be its best chance of success."
"Our plan prioritizes preserving jobs today and creates more jobs for tomorrow by harnessing all of our energy resources. By unleashing American energy innovation across the board, we will sharpen our competitive edge, keep millions from becoming jobless and ensure that China’s agenda for global dominance is always just a dream."
"As a global company, we have witnessed the development of hydrogen economies in key markets, in particular in the past year, including the European Union and Asia. We have seen firsthand the positive impact that hydrogen has had on spurring economic development in those regions. Now is the time for the U.S. to take a leadership role at this critical juncture in the energy transition."
"Some industries can shift quickly to renewable electricity, but others will require decades to clean up. As carbon prices rise and emissions regulations tighten, investors will need to pay ever closer attention to how companies get to their trumpeted net-zero commitments."
"California will have to deploy renewable power at record-breaking speed over the next few decades to meet its target for carbon-free electricity by 2045, a transformation that state agencies say in a new report this week is technically achievable but immensely challenging."
