"One issue remains. Does the administration want to unleash the power of the private sector? Or does it want to change it by forcing companies with draconian regulation? If the administration cares about the climate, it has to think about the business community as a friend instead of a foe."
"The announcement does not affect permits for existing fracking wells, which supply about 17 percent of California’s gas and oil, according to the New York Times. Newsom also ordered regulators to 'analyze pathways to phase out oil extraction' in California by 2045, according to a statement released on Friday."
"Pipelines are controversial, but this isn’t about being for or against the environment. Millions depend on the energy pipelines deliver for their homes, jobs and businesses. Shutting down Line 5 would inflict significant hurt, and it won’t deliver a cleaner energy future."
"Del Bosque, who grows melons, asparagus, sweet corn, almonds and cherries, said his operation could lose more than half a million dollars in income, and put many of his 700 workers out of work. He and other farmers say drought has been exacerbated by California's lack of investment in water storage infrastructure over the last 40 years."
"The partnership will help meet global data center needs with energy-efficient and water-conserving facilities which use 70% less power for cooling and eliminate the consumption of drinking water. The partnership will help to transform the environmental footprint of the data center sector and to close the digital divide by deploying to cities, rural communities, and developing economies around the world."
"Tackling the two-part challenge of addressing climate change and meeting the world’s growing demand for energy requires a range of solutions and partners. And U.S. energy producers have made significant progress, yet more can be done by our industry, the government, and other industries."
"Quite simply, we are committed to efforts that will reduce America’s emissions, not our economy; cut energy prices, not energy choices; and export American innovation, not American jobs."
"The bipartisan infrastructure deal moving through the Senate includes at least $5.75 billion for restoring, monitoring and researching forests, according to the legislative text and summary. Beyond money, the package also includes policies that could make it easier to prepare for wildfires."
"One of the biggest challenges in stepping up net-zero plans is connecting companies with projects that reliably remove and store the emissions that can’t be mitigated directly. Startups are stepping in to help."
Clearloop was founded by three Tennesseans, including former governor Phil Bredesen, with the goal of bringing carbon-free power to southern rural, minority communities.
