"'A lot of people talk about rooftop solar as, maybe this could be part of the solution for energy justice,’ he said. ‘Whereas now, it's part of the problem. The motivation of this paper is, maybe there are some policies and business models that have begun to alleviate this problem.’"
“Any building that applies for a new construction permit after June of next year will be subject to the requirements, though an amendment to the ordinance allows restaurants to apply for a waiver through the end of 2022 to use a natural gas stove.”
“Ultimately, innovation comes from the private sector and scientists, but can only thrive when unencumbered by government distortion. While it is of course sensible for politicians to ensure that next-generation nuclear reactors are safe, a more market-based, light-touch regulatory framework is necessary to avoid stifling innovation. A clear pathway that provides regulatory certainty for decades to come is crucial in ensuring that the United States takes its place as the world-leader on next-generation nuclear technologies.”
“Climate-focused legislators and policymakers would be wise to try and score singles and doubles, instead of trying to set up a grand slam that would require total Democratic control of government and coal-state Senate victories.”
“Production of the iX will start in the second half of 2021 with U.S. deliveries starting in early 2022.”
"Renewable power is defying the difficulties caused by the pandemic, showing robust growth while other fuels struggle. The resilience and positive prospects of the sector are clearly reflected by continued strong appetite from investors — and the future looks even brighter with new capacity additions on course to set fresh records this year and next."
“General Motors is pulling ahead the launch of two future electric vehicles and plans to add 3,000 new software jobs by early next year as it races to get electric vehicles on the road faster.”
“We’re believers that there’s no comprehensive solution to climate change without major changes to the agricultural system. There will be multiple unicorn-level outcomes as companies begin reshaping the $7 trillion food industry while removing gigatons of carbon from the atmosphere. For those startups and investors fortunate enough to remain standing now, the ag industry just got a lot riper for disruption.”
“Over the next decade, Dominion aims to invest $650 million into agriculture-derived gas projects. Smithfield will contribute another $250 million. The expected result: 8 billion cubic feet per year of livestock gas—thus preventing the emissions equivalent of 3.5 million tons per year of carbon dioxide. That’s like taking 750,000 cars permanently off the road, or planting 60 million new trees every year.”
“While floating PV (FPV) is 10%-15% higher in upfront capital costs and per-kilowatt cost compared to conventional PV, FPV used in conjunction with hydropower provides a host of other benefits. These include reduced transmission costs by linking to a common substation, reduced evaporation, reduced algae growth on hydro reservoirs, and increased efficiency of panels due to its water-cooling effect.”
