“BlocPower is targeting mid-size buildings, like small apartment buildings, community centers, and churches, almost exclusively in low-income neighborhoods. They've worked on a thousand buildings so far, in half a dozen cities. Like many start-up companies, it's relying on venture capital to get off the ground and isn't yet profitable. But Baird thinks it will be.”
“Alternative, market-based risk models are cropping up in parts of the country to better assess the risk and deploy fire- suppression resources where they’re needed most. When the risk is accurately assessed, it should incentivize more prescribed burns, timber harvesting, and installation of fire- resistant materials on homes and other buildings. But even then, it is challenging because most often reducing the fuel load is out of the hands of the home or business owner.”
“Republicans have a rich history in conservation. We're actually the founders of the conservation movement."
"A more conservative Court will assure that federal climate action is firmly rooted in laws crafted by Congress. It also will force climate activists to choose a path to tackle climate action based on well-established federal and state jurisdictions."
"These efforts, coupled with our continuing investments in technology-driven by clean energy market successes, are already providing the pathway to meaningful reductions in greenhouse gases – not bigger government, command and control approaches that prescribe what cars you can drive, what appliances you have in your house and whether you can keep the lights on."
"If Taiwan fails to meet the green energy and natural gas goals while facing a hard deadline for eliminating nuclear power, it will either face power shortages or be forced to continue operating coal-fired power plants that were set to be retired."
“Now I don’t know if the potential outlined in that New York Times story is going to pan out. But it does suggest the merit of being an Innovation Nation that properly funds science, encourages high-impact startups, and maintains its position as the planet’s premier destination for talent. Because when scientific discovery and tech progress pay off, they can pay off in extraordinary ways.”
“If you’re looking to make big profits in the energy sector, renewable energy stocks are the best choice.”
“CEOs increasingly are embracing the idea that a company’s environmental, social and governance practices will play a role in its future success.”
“But in recent years, the ground has shifted beneath corporations. As public pressure on climate change builds, big-name investors increasingly see global warming as a threat to financial markets, and companies begin to realize their own material risks from climate change effects.”
