“‘Supporting the development of local renewable energy is another way we can deepen our positive environmental impact and this premier project will start the charge in achieving our long-term and ambitious sustainability goals in this vital field, which will only become more important in the future’ said Mr Richards.”
Doubling Down on a Centralized Grid Is More Expensive Without Distributed Energy
"Not only is it the most cost-effective way to meet our nation’s climate goals, but it will also boost resilience as local communities and businesses contend with wildly variant weather patterns — increased storm severity, more devastating wildfires and longer and stronger hurricane seasons — stemming from the climate crisis.”
Green Energy Useless during Cold Snaps
“Solar power is even less reliable in severe weather conditions. Frigid temperatures are often associated with bright sunny skies, but the temperatures drop way down at night — you know, when there is no sunlight. Also, snow and ice often disable the panels.”
Mini Nuclear Reactors Offer Promise of Cheaper, Clean Power
“The pitch: small modular reactors, or SMRs, that can be housed in compact containment structures and operate safely with less shielding and oversight."
Commercial Carbon Capture And Use Takes A Step Forward With Carbon Clean
“While initially carbon capture and storage was associated with the concept of clean coal, the idea that carbon capture would enable the world to continue to use fossil fuels."
The might of metals in the clean energy transition
“Green businesses could find big opportunity in focusing on a clean metals’ solution. Investors too can play a part by embracing and backing cleaner, greener minerals extraction concerns.”
EVs Are the Lowest Climate Priority
Holman W. Jenkins argues on The Wall Street Journal that electric vehicles should be the lowest climate priority. “EVs are wonderful for many reasons but not for the reasons that climate-sanctimonious politicians promote. I won’t repeat an earlier column on climate policies that might actually be worth pursuing. Notice that the one innovation that greens opposed, fracking,...
Bill Gates-Led Fund Backs Tech to Use Natural Gas Without the Carbon Impact
"The company has developed technology to lower the greenhouse-gas emissions from using natural gas. Instead of burning the fuel to produce carbon dioxide and water, C-Zero passes the gas through a mixture of molten salts."
How to Transform Garbage Into Greener Fuels
“The newer, cleaner process, known as waste gasification or pyrolysis, involves cutting and drying non-recyclable trash from homes and offices, such as packaging and bottles, before blasting it with 4,000-degree-Fahrenheit steam and oxygen to break it down into hydrogen and carbon monoxide."
Elon And Exxon Agree: Carbon Capture Is Set To Explode In 2021
“'As consumers and investors increasingly reveal preferences for lower CO2 emissions, market agents are shifting their investment and marketing strategies.'"
