"Thacker Pass, located on 5,500 acres of federal land near the border with Oregon, was one of several mining and energy projects the Trump administration expedited for review during the pandemic. New Interior Secretary Deb Haaland has not weighed in on the project publicly, but the mine would be compatible with the clean energy agenda of the Biden administration, which includes a prioritization of boosting U.S. development of critical minerals."
"The oldest and most experienced environmentalists often aren’t lauded for their efforts to steward our planet. Farmers have been bettering our planet since before it was cool, and they have been improving their methods and prioritizing sustainability for centuries through natural solutions, such as the deployment of no-till crops and voluntary participation in carbon markets."
"Weather data can improve supply chain efficiencies while reducing emissions and fuel usage. For example, historically, routing decisions in the aviation sector have been made using worst-case weather scenarios which are more operationally restrictive. Advanced forecasting capabilities offer more accurate, detailed, and specific data for flight management."
"If the world is serious about developing a massive clean hydrogen economy, hydrogen from nuclear power has to be given serious consideration. It is the only low-carbon option that is deployable at large scale, and that operates with a high capacity factor."
"For several years, America has led the world in reducing emissions, in good years and bad. But President Biden’s promise will require Americans to cut emissions at a rate that we’ve only ever seen in bad years. To fulfill his promise, we will have to reduce emissions four times more than our average reduction during years of economic growth."
"Sen. Tom Carper of Delaware urged the Environmental Protection Agency to adopt strict anti-pollution standards that would end sales of new, gas-powered vehicles by 2035."
"MethaneSat will be able to capture leaks as low as 5 kilograms per hour per square kilometer — and 'if there’s an oil and gas producing area that’s leaking less than that, you’re doing really, really well' in preventing typical emissions, he said."
Decades of one-size-fits-all environment regulation and policy inattention are part of the reason for the increased dependency. Even with the United States holding vast mineral reserves worth trillions of dollars, America is now 100 percent dependent on imports for some 17 key minerals.
Studies show introducing seaweed into the cattle diet can help the meat industry reduce its carbon footprint.
"As a recent report by the Conservative Coalition for Climate Solutions reminds us, the proven way to lessen carbon emissions at a global scale is to implement policies that promote trade freedom around the world, through which policymakers can bring the less-developed countries up the economic ladder 'by rejecting socialism (i.e., shared misery) and embracing the proven principles of free market capitalism.'"
