Ariel Cohen writes in Forbes about the need to address NIMBYism. “Combating climate change and ensuring America’s energy abundance and security requires thoughtful and informed policy choices and sacrifices. These sacrifices must be equitably distributed if we are to sustain decarbonization.” Read the full article here.
"The construction industry is responsible for an oversized chunk of the carbon emissions that cause climate change. More than a quarter of the total carbon comes from operating buildings — things like heating and cooling — and about 10% of the world’s emissions originate in the process of creating building materials, such as making steel and concrete. Part of Rheaply’s mission is to improve the secondary market for building supplies, thus reducing emissions and doing its part to save the planet."
"Having failed to change hearts and minds by temporarily sullying artwork and shutting down crucial highways, Just Stop Oil is now turning to more drastic measures."
"The Agriculture Department last month posted for comment two analyses finding little risk to the environment and forest ecosystem from a genetically modified chestnut, while acknowledging some uncertainty around its impact."
In the Climate Debate, Hitting Targets is Vastly More Important Than Having Targets
"PJM, the grid operator, now has 2,700 energy projects under study — mostly wind, solar and batteries — a number that has tripled in just three years. Wait times can now reach four years or more, which prompted PJM last year to pause new reviews and overhaul its processes."
"TerraPower Isotopes aims to bring a scalable solution to the precision medicine market. The proven production methods that TPI employs, along with the vital work of public and private partners, will establish a reliable supply of Actinium-225, and the delivery of this key isotopic starting material to drug developers. This enhanced Actinium-225 supply chain will enable the advancement of drug development trials and increase the research and deployment of advanced cancer treatment options."
"A well-functioning marketplace requires rules—institutions such as property rights, an unhindered system of profit and loss, and a fair and stable law of contract. It also requires an abundant level of freedom within the confines of these institutions. Fundamentally, most government interventions into the market tinker with these institutions and hamper that freedom."
he growth in U.S. hydrogen investment is encouraging and will help meet America’s energy needs and climate ambitions. America is an innovative global energy leader, and over the coming years, the U.S. could lead the world in hydrogen too.
"The modules will use carbonate fuel cells to efficiently capture and concentrate carbon dioxide streams. Combustion exhaust from an external source, like a flue stream, will be directed to the fuel cell, which electrochemically reacts fuel and air to produce power, while capturing and concentrating carbon dioxide for utilization or permanent storage. The modular design enables the technology to be deployed at a wide range of locations, operate at high efficiency, and advance business goals at hard-to-decarbonize industrial and commercial applications."
