David Roberts outlines the importance of lithium-ion batteries on Canary Media. “Cheap batteries could open up uses we haven’t even envisioned yet. What sorts of urban mobility vehicles, drones, planes or research outposts could we power? What kinds of ships or trains could we electrify? How could increasingly cheap, ubiquitous storage be coupled with increasingly...
"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.'"
Battelle, a global research and development organization, has been conducting comprehensive PFAS research for many years and has pioneered numerous assessment and mitigation solutions, including a new PFAS Annihilator destruction technology that will permanently remove PFAS from a site."
"Hydrogen has key advantages. One is that it can be used in modified versions of existing power plants and other machinery designed to run on coal, gas or oil. That will help countries avoid scrapping billions of dollars of legacy assets as they transition to a new-energy future."
"The companies have signed a memorandum of understanding to assess the technological and commercial possibilities for hydrogen and carbon capture and storage (CCS) and screen potential customers and suppliers."
The Alaska Airlines airplane will also be testing other new equipment as part of the ecoDemonstrator program. This will include a new agent for extinguishing fires, which could offer a reduced negative impact on the ozone layer and potentially replace the commonly used Halon 1301.
"Bipartisan climate change legislation in the 117th Congress is possible. Finding common ground requires lots of listening and learning on both sides, but it can happen. In rooms full of unlikely allies, it already is."
"Duke Energy is in the midst of a five-year, nearly $59 billion 'growth capital plan' as the North Carolina-based utility pushes ahead with efforts to decarbonize its operations, Good said Thursday on a call with stock analysts."
Julian Spector of Canary Media reports on Hawaii’s new energy storage facility. “KES still needs to get built, and then to operate as advertised. But as other states and the U.S. Congress contemplate 100 percent clean energy goals, KES will become an early test case for whether high-tech clean alternatives can take over from fossil...
Years ago, TOMS shoes launched into fame with their altruistic one-to-one model of giving a pair of shoes to a child in need for every purchase. What seemed like a great idea on the surface was deeply flawed, ultimately putting local shoemakers out of business and revealing that shoe gifting—a very temporary fix—was of no...
