"The recent cyberattack on the Colonial Pipeline, which stretches from Texas to New Jersey, reminds us that energy infrastructure to deliver fuel to gas pumps and power plants is also essential. Though the attack prompted panic buying and gasoline shortages in the nation’s southeast, the problem wasn’t one of production but rather a disruption in the supply chain."
"The new climate caucus, however, aims to go beyond messaging and 'educate House Republicans on climate policies and legislation consistent with conservative values,' according to a one-page summary shared by Curtis’s office."
The delivery giant now has 232 energy projects around the world, the equivalent of powering 2.5 million U.S. homes.
"Devon’s emission reduction strategy will involve a range of potential actions including expanding its leak detection and repair program; implementing advanced leak detection technologies; reducing the volume of natural gas that is flared; electrifying facilities to reduce the use of natural gas and diesel consumed onsite, including transitioning from gas-driven to air-driven pneumatic controllers; and optimizing facility design to minimize leaks and eliminate common equipment failures."
"Both climate change and artificial intelligence are sprawling, cross-disciplinary fields. Both will transform literally every sector of the economy in the years ahead. There is therefore no single 'silver bullet' application of AI to climate change. Instead, a wide range of machine learning use cases can help in the race to decarbonize our world."
"The U.S. has pumped millions of dollars into researching how to extract rare-earth minerals from abandoned coal fields, an approach some say won’t work. The Pentagon has invested in a U.S.-based rare-earth magnets manufacturer that sources many of its products from China."
"The Obama Administration often used this 'sue and settle' strategy to bypass Congress."
"Imagine if you will a renewable source of energy without constraints of time of day or weather. A renewable source of energy whose surface of potential is just now being scratched. Perhaps most importantly in today’s political environment, a source of renewable energy that does not rely on supply chains dominated by adversarial nations as the source of its feedstock, but America’s family farms instead."
"This heavy bias toward solar and wind is typical of renewable energy investments worldwide. Increasingly, though, the energy transition is creating new investment opportunities that could become significant asset classes in their own right."
An innovative startup in Maine has prototyped a simple (and brilliant) idea in the up-and-coming field of carbon removal.
