While scientists tell...
Blue Carbon: A Natural Climate Solution
Aside from storing carbon, healthy coastal structures are essential to mitigating the impacts of extreme weather.
Verdox Is Changing The World of Carbon Capture As We Know It
Verdox systems use electric voltage, not heat, to create a more efficient process. This eliminates the need for water or heat within the system while applying electricity more efficiently.
Biden Continues to Push Gasoline-Price Conspiracy Theory
"If you claim credit when gasoline prices go down, you should expect blame when they go back up. In reality, the president doesn’t have much to do with either, but the White House has chosen to tie its political fortune to the price of gasoline — let them enjoy the ride."

Bill Gates-Backed Mining Company Is Silicon Valley’s Newest Unicorn
"Founded in 2018, KoBold says it uses data science and machine learning to identify deposits of cobalt, copper, nickel and lithium, crucial components of the electric-vehicle boom. It has 60 continuing exploration projects in North America, Africa and Australia. Last December, it agreed to invest $150 million to buy a controlling stake in a large, undeveloped copper deposit in Zambia that it says should take at least eight years to yield copper."

Bill Gates-Backed Group Supporting New Energy Storage Technology
"The company said its technology 'is designed to maximize the value of renewable energy generation and offer grid operators control and flexibility at the lowest cost compared to other energy storage options. The system is also modular and scalable by adding more carbon blocks to increase storage duration, allowing growth with the grid as renewable generation increases.'"
