“The outlook for domestic #solar remains positive … and that comes down to 2 straightforward reasons: Solar is the cheapest source of new power generation by far, & it’s an increasingly large employer in the U.S., particularly in Republican-led states.” https://t.co/FVmtskQlXD
Proud to have produced these videos on behalf of the Bay Area Air District to raise awareness about the harmful impacts of wood smoke – the leading source of wintertime air pollution. Follow @AirDistrict to stay informed about air quality and how to protect your health.
The daunting decades long push for international cooperation to address global climate change continues with some advances at #COP29 despite the major headwinds thanks to courageous envoys & deeply committed advocates. https://t.co/TlAGkfuVyR
"We have already changed the climate," emphasizes Marine Biologist and author @ayanaeliza , "but there’s still so much we can do. We have the solutions we need, we’re just being slow at scaling them." https://t.co/DLwR6t0qIC @UrbanOceanLab@how2saveaplanet#MarineBiology
Clean economy upgrades are sweeping across every sector, even society’s “building blocks.” @hd_materials plans to deploy carbon capture technology to reduce CO2 emissions in cement production. https://t.co/XmqEQhrlwC #CarbonCapture#Cement#CleanEconomy
I analyzed the ~1,150 clean energy projects that have been built in the last two years.
