"Solar paired with storage fared relatively well during Hurricane Ida in Louisiana in September 2021, including at a 50-unit affordable apartment building that kept power as the storm knocked out transmission lines carrying electricity into New Orleans."
"The solution, according to Gates, is creating better technological alternatives where it is the same price or cheaper to accomplish the same goal in a climate-conscious way. Gates has long talked about the space between the cost of how something is conventionally done and the way it should be do in a decarbonized way the 'green premium.' To make meaningful change on climate change, that green premium has to slowly reduced and then eliminated in all sectors of the economy, according to Gates."
We must embrace nuclear energy for what it is: the safest, cleanest, most reliable form of energy at our disposal.
Ted Nordhaus of The Breakthrough Institute provides insight into the motivations of the environmental movement. “In this, the regressive and obstructionist impulses of the environmental community do not represent a deviant impulse, a failure to grapple with the scale and nature of global climate change, or a mistaken turn toward utopianism when pragmatism is called...
The first time I heard of “free market environmentalism” I was fairly skeptical. My assumption about private capital was that its primary duty was to multiply, but this view demonstrated a failure to properly understand market potential. Markets allow people to provide capital and, so long as enough is offered, receive just about anything they’d...
"Other schools to recently implement energy-efficient projects include Smith College breaking ground on a geothermal project, Boston University using geothermal heat pumps in a new building on campus, and the University of Hartford saving $1 million annually with energy upgrades. The University of California San Diego also has a proposed demonstration project that will look at blending hydrogen and natural gas to help with energy transitions."
"Rising global energy costs and questions about the reliability of wind and solar have produced a new moment for nuclear. Governments considering keeping their nuclear power plants operating or adding nuclear to their energy mix should know that it isn’t inevitable that a new reactor will provoke local opposition."
The ultimate goal is to reduce the amount of clothes that are made unsustainably, worn briefly, and ditched to join a landfill.
"Researchers hope the tests will show that tree fruit crops thrive under solar panels. This could help prevent renewable energy production from competing for precious land with agriculture — a growing concern for those seeking to tackle climate change and rising food prices."
As municipalities look to become more eco-friendly a switch to grass may be beneficial to the environment and local ecology. In the case of the NFL, it may just lead to fewer injuries of the league’s greatest superstars.
