"At Eos, we’ve been doing this for years, from bringing resilience to the California power grid during last summer’s wildfires to supplying power to remote communities in Nigeria. Our batteries are powered by zinc, a widely available and conflict-free commodity. From there, we take a less-is-more approach—our product is non-flammable, non-toxic, fully recyclable after its life, and efficient in that it can operate in a wide voltage and temperature range."
"Finding bipartisan compromise on the size and scope of an infrastructure bill will be hard enough. But policymakers are ignoring perhaps the most essential issue — permitting, which has become a maze of process obstacles that only Congress can address."
"In 1979, California’s population was a little more than 23 million. Today, it is more than 39 million. Yet in that entire time, California did not construct one additional, large-scale water storage project – meaning water infrastructure that once suited the state’s irrigation, livestock, and human needs has become chronically inadequate to meet its essential tasks."
"A key improvement has been modern blades that are far more sophisticated in design, from aerodynamic properties to materials. This has enabled a variety of other improvements to the turbine, including greater size and more height (which means the turbine can tap higher wind speeds), with less noise."
"Pipelines are controversial, but this isn’t about being for or against the environment. Millions depend on the energy pipelines deliver for their homes, jobs and businesses. Shutting down Line 5 would inflict significant hurt, and it won’t deliver a cleaner energy future."
"In weighing up recycling versus landfill for plastic waste (including synthetic fibers) it is useful to know that less than 10% of all plastic produced since 1950 has been recycled, with 79% in landfills or the natural environment (the remainder is incinerated, releasing CO2 and other hazardous additives into the atmosphere). Plastic recycling is complex and expensive, and the recycled material can be more expensive (and sometimes of lower quality) than the virgin equivalent."
"Forcing people to take more money out of their hard-earned paychecks to fund the extreme Left’s big-government climate agenda is not only wrong, but it also ensures America will fall behind our adversaries such as China and Russia in pursuit of global energy dominance. Yet, that is exactly what a carbon tax would do."
"These goals cannot possibly be met without major sacrifices for Americans. Some might argue that sacrifices should be made to help the climate. However, this NDC still would make no noticeable impact on global GHG emissions because the real problem comes from countries such as China, Russia and India."
"The agency's latest data shows that new capacity additions surged to almost 280 gigawatts last year despite the pandemic."
"Yes, we only have one earth, and we need to protect it. But we need to be realistic about the solutions to these complicated questions. Is eliminating thousands of jobs and billions of dollars of domestic production for a symbolic victory that only empowers foreign polluters really a good direction for public policy?"
