“If California’s elected officials are serious about transitioning to EVs by 2035, more EV chargers will be needed. The best way and most consumer-friendly way to get more EV chargers is to work with the private market to get more private capital invested in charging. But, to do that, the state should stop approving utility companies that want to increase the bills of their customers to cover the cost of EV charging.”
"If we’ve learned anything from the last two administrations, it’s that quality environmental policy must be durable and pro-market."
"Rather than micromanaging production, governments should unleash investment, by acting boldly to strip back permitting rules and ease the risk of projects in the global south. They also need to face up to the fact that protectionism frustrates their climate goals. It leads to lower returns, higher prices for power and more broken promises over decarbonisation."
“Factory Zero will be over 4 million square feet in size when it resumes operation, making it among GM’s largest. When it gets up to its full rated capacity of 270,000 vehicles annually, it is expected to employ about 2,200 people.”
"When the research team added 18 parts per million of graphene to electrical-grade copper, the temperature coefficient of resistance decreased by 11 percent without decreasing electrical conductivity at room temperature. This is relevant for the manufacturing of electric vehicle motors, where an 11 percent increase in electrical conductivity of copper wire winding translates into 1 percent gain in motor efficiency."
"In summary, the consensus on climate change and hurricanes is that we will likely have fewer of them, but when they occur, they will be stronger (on average). There also may be changes in their forward speed, rainfall production, and latitudinal extent. I encourage the public, media, and policymakers to discuss hurricane - climate change connections properly."
Our nation has long looked to innovators to carry breakthroughs forward. Our innovators now look to Congress to ensure we don’t backslide on them.
“Under the agreement, Microsoft will cover the costs of fuel produced from sustainable resources, like waste oils and agricultural residues, which will result in reduced carbon emissions.”
“Today, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced over $27 million in funding for 12 projects that will support the development of advanced plastics recycling technologies and new plastics that are recyclable-by-design. As part of DOE’s Plastics Innovation Challenge, these projects will also help improve existing recycling processes that break plastics into chemical building blocks, which can then be used to make new products.”
“After the 2020 election, Republicans need to rebrand their party as the champions of working-class voters and steer away from its traditional embrace of big business, Sen. Marco Rubio said in an interview with Axios.”
