Darrell Proctor of Power reports that Honeywell and the University of Texas at Austin have joined together to advance new carbon capture technology. “The International Energy Agency (IEA) last year said carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) projects worldwide were capturing and either storing or using 40 million metric tons annually of CO2. IEA has...
2021 saw much that environmentalists can celebrate, with great strides forward made for the sake of our planet and all who live upon it. As we enter 2022, our goals should build upon the success of this past year to reach even greater heights.

"In 2020, prior to the new inclusionary zoning provision, 756 residential units were put on the planning books. In the roughly one year since passing the provision in November 2020, only 139 units had been put on the books — a decrease of 81.6%, according to a study by the Boulos Co."
"If we start with the things that we already have some bipartisan agreement on - and by the way, a couple of those things are in the BBB, in the Build Back Better climate package. And they include carbon capture utilization and storage, bringing back more of nuclear power into the United States. Yeah. I'm always going to be interested in being at the table until it gets ridiculous."
The world needs more energy, and the free market is the best mechanism to deliver that energy.
"America’s only high-grade nickel mine is in Michigan, and it’s expected to exhaust deposits in 2025. Other proposed mines in northern Minnesota are opposed by green groups. The Biden administration has slowed permitting for mining lithium (Nevada), copper (Alaska, Arizona, Minnesota) and antimony (Idaho)."
"That temperature differential is what Assawaworrarit and his colleagues are taking advantage of. A device called a thermoelectric generator can capture some of the heat flowing from the warmer air to the cooler solar panel and convert it into electricity."
"Any worthwhile deal, at a minimum, should make the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) a less lethal regulatory weapon. While a large pipeline can be built in a year or two, federal permitting can take two to three times as long. If there are lawsuits—and there always are—you’re looking at a decade or more. Add that to the cost in present value of any energy or other project."
The “great game” of our 21st century should be a race to tap all sources of power, and thereby create an effective, “all-of-the-above” cleaner and more secure energy future.
