Power Outages are Increasing at an Alarming Rate Power outages and blackouts were unfortunately common last year, affecting millions of people1 in the path of severe storms and wildfires. On the East coast, 60 mph winds cut power to more than 1 million customers - toppling 4,000 power lines - and on the West coast a raging fire in California forced utility companies to shut off electricity to hundreds of thousands.2 The bad news is that these are only two examples of disasters and blackouts in 2

The Earth’s climate is changing. 97 percent of climate scientists agree that global warming trends are clear and “extremely likely” due to human activities, most prominently the rising emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the burning of fossil fuels. CO2 is a powerful greenhouse gas that blocks heat from escaping into the atmosphere, and the dramatic increase in our use of carbonaceous fossil fuels like coal and oil since the 19th century has increased atmospheric concentrations of CO2 from 2

(Hi all. In the last couple of months the scientific and policy worlds have issued some dire reports. The IPCC released its assessment on whether, and how, the world could hold warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius (and the dire consequences of not doing so). And over Thanksgiving, the US National Climate Assessment came out. I wrote this last month about what businesses should be doing in the wake of the IPCC report.

The Ugly Facts of Climate Change It’s hard to speak about climate change without using frightening statistics. The science is conclusive. Just this month the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)1 stated that our planet’s temperature is rising at an alarming rate, and faster than we initially thought. By the year 2030 - unless we act now - there will be even more extreme drought, wildfires, floods and food shortages for hundreds of millions of people due to the rise in

Overview. Economics are a primary concern in a well-designed strategy to reduce carbon. The potential ways to reduce carbon emissions vary dramatically on an economic basis. Some are so beneficial that they return more money to the economy than they cost, like LED lighting which is now commonplace in homes and businesses. At the other extreme are very costly solutions, although some achieve sufficient justification based on co-benefits.

With the first wave of the energy transition, renewable energy sources (such as solar and wind) have begun replacing coal power generation. However, some sectors are lagging behind and struggling to decarbonize more than others, including large-scale transportation like commercial aviation, shipping, and rail transit. Electrofuels (aka eFuels) are the next generation of solutions to help the hardest-to-abate sectors pivot from their reliance on fossil fuels.
