"Worse, absent changes to the climate laws, Zuber predicts more residents and businesses will leave New York because of skyrocketing energy costs, including the cost to build new transmission lines for renewal projects, not to mention the vast subsidies needed to build those solar and wind plants."
A Yeast-Like Bacteria Can Cut Carbon Emissions While Creating Sustainable Aviation Fuel and Sneakers

The world has (probably) passed peak pollution
"Note that this is not a finger-pointing exercise where rich countries tell poorer ones not to pollute. We’re mostly talking about local air pollution.

Exxon Makes a Long-Shot Bet on Climate Tech. Sizing Up the Costs.
"Unlike many of the climate-related projects Exxon is undertaking, this plant is highly experimental. Exxon has previously said that its low-carbon businesses like biofuels and lithium-mining need to make double-digit returns. Direct air capture, by comparison, is more of a space-age science experiment for now—one that may pay off or fade away. The company isn’t disclosing how much it’s spending on the project."
Biden’s Tariffs Are a Bad Idea
