GIS Owners in California Must Comply With SF6 Regulation

Latham's Clean Energy Law Report

CARB’s SF6 Regulation applies to all entities that own GIS, including many entities that do not otherwise emit and report greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions such as wind farms, solar parks, and geothermal plants. In 2009 and 2010, CARB conducted a rulemaking to develop the regulation for monitoring and limiting SF6 emissions.

On the Future of our Food

Mr. Sustainability

Food is basically a combination of energy, water and nutrients. Some plants and micro-organisms can make food ‘out of thin air’ by simply rearranging carbon, water and oxygen molecules using energy from the Sun. The trick is to grow plants inside and replace the Sun by red and blue LED lights, making them shine purple.
