UP gas generators would be classified as clean energy under bills in state House committee
Republican supporters say the generators use newer, cleaner technologies, and that should allow them to stay in use past deadlines for the state’s clean energy transition.
Geothermal & Heat Pumps Are Quietly Undermining Fossil Industrial Heat
Industrial heat has always been the awkward uncle at the decarbonization dinner table. Loud, a bit old-fashioned, and responsible for about 20% of global carbon emissions, but nobody really wants to talk about him. The climate conversation has been dominated by glitzier topics like electric vehicles and green hydrogen, the … [continued]

Debunking The Myth: Hydrogen Will Not Dominate The Transportation Sector
The belief that hydrogen will dominate the transportation sector is rooted in optimism rather than evidence. It appeals to the imagination but collapses under scrutiny. In practice, hydrogen is being decisively outpaced by two more efficient and cost-effective alternatives: battery electric vehicles and advanced biofuels. The appeal of hydrogen may … [continued]

A Primer On Sea Level Rise
Sea level rise refers to the average increase in the water level of the Earth’s oceans. As ice sheets and glaciers melt, they add more water. A huge toolkit of increasingly sophisticated instruments, deployed across the oceans, on polar ice, and in orbit, reveals significant changes among globally interlocking factors … [continued]

Debunking The Myth: Green Hydrogen Is Essential To Displace Current Industrial Hydrogen Use, Not As An Energy Source
Shifting from fossil hydrogen is akin to turning off a leaky tap—a necessary first step toward stemming the tide of industrial emissions. Despite being promoted extensively as a universal replacement fuel for heavy industry, hydrogen’s role in decarbonization is frequently misunderstood or exaggerated. The perception that hydrogen can broadly replace … [continued]
