“Voluntary carbon markets in agriculture are indeed at a crucial tipping point. Policymakers have a role to play in bringing greater validity to the markets, which will ensure that this momentum is not wasted and is instead channeled toward projects that yield long-term environmental benefits for us all.”
“The more climate change was on the agenda, the more it drove up votes in blue states, but it worked against Democrats in purple states, in battleground states,” said a former Obama administration official who spoke on the condition of anonymity given tense intra-party divisions."
“It is part of a growing number of solar projects in sunny, land-rich Texas, where experts long predicted solar farms would bloom. Solar-farm development in Texas is expected to accelerate in the coming years as generation costs fall and power demand grows. That growth puts it on track to claim a much larger share of a power market dominated by wind farms and natural-gas power plants.”

"Honeywell said that it would reach that goal in its operations and facilities through investment in energy-saving projects, conversion to renewable energy sources and other initiatives. It intends to use carbon credits to achieve that goal only if it can’t reduce emissions fast enough through innovation."
