"The farm bill is one of the few remaining bipartisan endeavors left in Washington, and it’s critically important to the livelihood of farmers and ranchers, rural economies, wildlife conservation and our nation’s food supply. With a continued focus on agricultural conservation in the 2023 Farm Bill package, Congress can demonstrate its intent to support the men and women who feed our nation while facilitating the collaborative work championed by conservation organizations."
"The ultimate point is that there is a wide gap between the way politicians, and even many analysts, enjoy talking about clean energy and what sort of policy would be needed to turn those hopes into reality. For the United States to become a dominant producer of clean energy, it will need to either significantly increase its imports of clean energy-related minerals, or it must find ways to make it easier to produce these minerals domestically. If the United States doesn’t take either of those steps, then it will probably continue to rely on the domestic energy sources in which it is already abundant, which are predominantly fossil fuels."
"Project FarmVibes is part of a larger strategy, according to Chandra. Microsoft, he said, is building tools specifically designed for industries like retail, sustainability, and finance, and it is now building tools specifically designed for the agriculture industry. By building tools for farmers and researchers alike, and by focusing on open-source, Chandra said that Microsoft is aiming to 'make advances in democratizing data driven agriculture.'"
"Vidyut explained that his drive for launching Takachar and advancing clean tech started early, sharing, 'I grew up in New Delhi, and the city is known to have one of the worst air qualities in the world. You can see it around here right now, right? This is due to the open burning of agricultural waste here. So every winter, we would have very bad air quality and part of it would be contributed by the open burning of agricultural waste in farms surrounding the city.'"
"CEZ in May of this year launched a tender to add two generators to the Temelin Nuclear Power Station, a 2,056-MW facility with two VVER-1000 units designed by Russia’s Gidropress. The units came online in 2000 and 2002. CEZ said its wants construction of the new generators at Temelin, representing an investment of about $160 million, to take place between 2028 and 2030. CEZ in March 2022 announced a tender seeking companies to bid on a one-unit expansion of the Dukovany nuclear power plant."
"Hydrogen is made from a variety of sources, namely fossil fuels, and through the use of dirty power. Peregrine is among the ventures aiming to make hydrogen without carbon dioxide production."
Data from the World Resources Institute show that in the United States, our heating and electricity are the leading carbon emitting sectors.
"Williams Companies Inc on Wednesday announced a near-term goal of a 56% absolute reduction from 2005 levels in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030"
“The U.S. chapter of the One Trillion Trees program, launched Thursday, aims to plant at least 855 million trees by 2030.”
Geothermal energy is a highly promising and reliable zero-emission technology. Besides critical investments in R&D, the biggest hindrances to geothermal development are permitting and other regulatory barriers that are more stringent than for oil and gas.
