"If the world is serious about developing a massive clean hydrogen economy, hydrogen from nuclear power has to be given serious consideration. It is the only low-carbon option that is deployable at large scale, and that operates with a high capacity factor."
New satellites can mitigate methane’s outsize impact on climate change
"MethaneSat will be able to capture leaks as low as 5 kilograms per hour per square kilometer — and 'if there’s an oil and gas producing area that’s leaking less than that, you’re doing really, really well' in preventing typical emissions, he said."
Seaweed: An Out-of-the-Box Experiment in Carbon Mitigation
Studies show introducing seaweed into the cattle diet can help the meat industry reduce its carbon footprint.
For FarmWise’s Cofounders, Opportunity Was In The Weeds
"Rented at a per-acre cost, the geo-fenced robots drive along planted rows, capturing images of crops that get uploaded and run through a model trained to classify each image. Weeds get the chop. Vegetables remain. The more time a robot spends at a given farm, the better the AI gets, and so does the weeding. To date, FarmWise’s robots have imaged about 200 million individual crops and partnered with about a dozen of the largest vegetable farms in the U.S."
Disney World to power 40 percent of park with solar power
"Disney World recently announced a major upgrade to its resort that will enable the park to obtain nearly half of its energy from solar power. This news is just one element of a major push from the company to decrease its carbon footprint around the world."
Q&A: Terry Anderson On Adapt And Be Adept: Market Responses To Climate Change
"A carbon tax would impose huge costs on poor people in the United States and across the world, and yet we continue to push it forward, while we appropriately worry about income distribution."
Climate Change Activists Need To Get Serious About Nuclear Power
But global warming may become a real problem, so it's particularly absurd that Earth Day's activists rarely mention the form of energy that could most quickly reduce greenhouse gases: nuclear power.
GM’s Electric Cadillac Lyriq Arrives Spring 2022 With +300-Mile Range, $60,000 Starting Price
"So what exactly do you get for $60,000? In short, a surprisingly sleek looking five-seat crossover with an expected range of more than 300 miles. If that range seems a bit low compared to the 360 miles of a Model X, it should be noted that GM is usually conservative on these estimates and the Bolt can easily outperform its 259-mile rating. Conversely, Tesla’s tend to fall short of their official ratings."
ExxonMobil’s Plan to Capture Carbon
"One of the proven technologies available that could play a major role is carbon capture and storage, or CCS, the process of sequestering industrial emissions and safely storing them permanently underground. CCS also promises the potential to reduce carbon emissions significantly at a cost competitive to other solutions, especially for the manufacturing sector."
Smart Policy And Innovative Technologies, Like Advanced Recycling, Will Deliver On Climate And Sustainability Goals
Unlike traditional recycling, advanced recycling can handle contamination, impurities, mixed polymers, and low-quality, low-density plastics. By producing virgin-grade plastic feedstock, the process also avoids 'downcycling,' which decreases material quality over time. Conceptually, advanced recycling can be an infinite recycling process. "
