"In essence, switching from coal to natural gas in power generation effectively mitigates adverse community health effects that would otherwise continue for communities near coal-fired plants. Through LNG exports, by displacing coal with natural gas, the U.S. can continue to help enable mitigations of greenhouse gas emissions and other hazardous air pollutants throughout the world."
Boost circular economy to improve climate change and social cohesion
“Buying local food is sometimes seen as trendy and elite. Borrowing, buying used or fixing something is stigmatized as the second-choice option to purchasing new. The circular economy, if done right, could radically shift what we consider the provinces of the rich and poor. A circular economy that considers social dimensions would shift away from short-term convenience towards long-term satisfaction.”
The SEC’s climate disclosure rule will be very expensive and produce minimal benefits
"We can all agree that if the climate changes, then most businesses will suffer consequences. But to ask each firm to assess the material impact of climate risks on its 'business strategy, operations, and financial conditions' would require firms to become experts in how and when such risks will manifest. This is beyond the scope of firms to assess and beyond the scope of the SEC to require."
Forging the path for renewable energy in Utah: Drilling begins on geothermal well in Milford
"Of the 3,000 marked geothermal wells and springs, three geothermal power plants in Utah produce 73 megawatts of power, which can provide power to about 73,000 homes. The goal of the new well in Milford is to test new technology to make geothermal an even better option for sustainable, green energy."
Sustainable Agriculture Gets a Push From Big Corporations
"Other methods are quite new. McCarty’s farm reduces water consumption by using soil-moisture probes and smart cow-cooling technologies and ups energy efficiency with electric tractors, LED lighting and variable speed motors. The longer-term, direct supply relationship with Danone has really changed the trajectory of his family’s farm, he said."

The Clean Energy Policy That Could Strengthen Texas Oil & Gas
Carbon capture technology is primed for major developments. That means we don’t need fools errands like ending fossil fuels, banning technologies like hydraulic fracturing, or cancelling pipelines.
American Energy Is Clean Energy. It’s Time to Admit It.
"BRG’s report builds on what we already know: American LNG provides a cleaner alternative to countries across the world, ensuring energy security while mitigating emissions. Biden’s attack on this critical energy source is a misinformed policy that must immediately be revoked."
The might of metals in the clean energy transition
“Green businesses could find big opportunity in focusing on a clean metals’ solution. Investors too can play a part by embracing and backing cleaner, greener minerals extraction concerns.”
Oil and Gas Aims to Boost Productivity, Reduce Emissions
By embracing innovative technologies and practices, energy companies are proving that it's possible to provide the power the world needs while also reducing their carbon footprint.
