“A shift from petroleum products, such as gasoline and diesel, to electricity will require a new statewide charging infrastructure, and could impact the viability of the state’s thousands of gasoline stations. And it will need to upgrade a grid already in need of significant overhaul.”
"Like other automakers, Honda is rushing to build new-energy vehicles in an industry shift that Hachigo on Friday described as “once in a century”. That race is accelerating amid the coronavirus outbreak as carmakers review production plans to capture market share with new models including low or zero-emission vehicles.”
“If all of us made just one eco-friendly change, we would significantly impact the Earth, our communities and our energy bills.”
“Integrating aggregated DERs will lower consumer costs, increase electric reliability and unlock the potential for new innovation.”
“Ultimately, innovation comes from the private sector and scientists, but can only thrive when unencumbered by government distortion. While it is of course sensible for politicians to ensure that next-generation nuclear reactors are safe, a more market-based, light-touch regulatory framework is necessary to avoid stifling innovation. A clear pathway that provides regulatory certainty for decades to come is crucial in ensuring that the United States takes its place as the world-leader on next-generation nuclear technologies.”
Making an economic case for fighting climate change is essential. Solutions that slow innovation and increase hardships for lower-income residents could make a challenging situation worse.
"‘Business is really about creating value for other people, Mackey said. ‘That's why it exists. That's why it exists to create value for other people. And if it does a good job of creating good value in products and services that its customers want, then the business will flourish, and it'll make money.’"
"Regardless of their composition, solar energy is poised to be a significant part of our future as society transitions away from fossil fuels. As a result, we can expect increased production of solar panels in the coming decades, and potentially, large amounts of hazardous waste to boot."
The world’s forests today absorb a bit more than one gigatons of CO2 per year out of the atmosphere and turn it into biomass. We need to stop cutting and burning down existing forests (including preventing large scale forest fires) and we have to start planting more new trees.
"Biden’s order builds on executive actions he took on his first day in office, when he began the process to rejoin the Paris climate agreement and targeted more than 100 Trump-era environmental and climate deregulatory actions.”
