"Distributed solar generally describes projects less than 1 MW in capacity, such as rooftop solar panels atop homes and businesses. Community solar refers to slightly larger developments — typically about 2 MW in capacity — that may serve a neighborhood or other geographic area."
A Turning Point in the Climate Debate
"For Republicans, banning imports of Russian oil and doing everything possible to ramp up supply at home are no-brainers. Expect candidates, including some Democrats, to hammer both themes until Biden relents. Yet, conservatives have an opportunity to offer something more ambitious and transformative than 'Drill, Baby, Drill' 2.0. We can reshape the climate debate and redefine what it means to be serious about environmental stewardship for decades to come."
Putin hates fracking. How much did he support US and EU fracking foes?

Within a year of planting, the soil 'looks better and we get a little bump in our yield' for her regular grains."
Rep. John Curtis Details Rollout of GOP Climate Plan
This summer we can expect the GOP climate, energy, and conservation task force to lay out comprehensive policies that the party will move to implement if it retakes the House in November. The conservative climate movement, being led by members such as Rep. Curtis, is offering pragmatic solutions to our greatest energy and climate challenges.
In a world-first, scientists create eco-friendly cement from algae
"Interestingly, concrete which is primarily made using portland cement, water, and gravel is considered the most consumed material across the globe next to water. Whether it is North America, Europe, or Asia, construction activities can not be imagined without concrete and especially portland cement."
Why there’s still a rational case for climate optimism
