"Benefits to local areas from wind and solar power could generate $60 billion in annual revenue by 2030, according to a 2021 report by the Colorado-based Rocky Mountain Institute. Much of that money will flow to rural areas, rivaling the economic impact of the beef, corn, and soy industries. That $60 billion figure includes $2.7 billion in annual tax revenue, $2.2 billion in annual payments to landowners and $6 billion in annual wages for construction and maintenance jobs."
"That’s the beauty of SMRs: the small models are designed to be manufactured off-site at a commercial scale, and assembled on site for more efficient nuclear energy deployment."
The Wall Street Journal’s Editorial Board writes about Biden’s nonsensical regulatory policies. “Wouldn’t it be better for American workers and the environment to mine these minerals in the U.S.?

"The research identifies a way for city planners to combat the impact of rising temperatures, wrote Kristie Ebi, a professor for health and the environment at the University of Washington, in a linked comment. Such action is especially important as climate change continues to drive temperatures upwards and it must be combined with other initiatives like modifying infrastructure to reduce heat, added Ebi, who was not involved in the research. Ultimately, 'all heatwave-related deaths are preventable,' Ebi said.
"Boston Metal’s technology, Molten Oxide Electrolysis, passes electricity through the iron oxide mixed with what Carneiro calls a “soup of other oxides” to make iron and oxygen. Oxides are chemical compounds that contain at least one oxygen atom, and Boston’s process includes common oxides like alumina, silica, calcium and magnesium."
"Coming up with a clear-cut response to American largesse is tricky for the EU as it involves negotiations between 27 member states. Also, Europe is ahead of the U.S. in some elements of its shift to clean energy. Excluding hybrids, electric vehicles accounted for 12% of new passenger vehicles sold in the EU last year, versus 5.8% in the U.S."
"'Where Republicans and Democrats are coming together, even if they’re using different language on it and goals in total, [it’s that] there’s a need to at least shore up American energy security,' said Drew Bond, president of the right-aligned climate group C3 Solutions."
