This is due in no small part to the “ nuclear bros ”: an active and seemingly tireless group of nuclear power advocates who dominate social media discussions on energy by promoting SMRs and other “advanced” nuclear technologies as the only real solution for the climate crisis. What are SMRs?

Some context is helpful, especially for those just getting their arms around measuring and reducing GHG emissions: Scope 1 GHG emissions are “direct emissions” that occur from sources that are controlled or owned by an organization (e.g., Arguably Zoom Video Communications avoids significant emissions.

Electric vehicles already offer a viable route to zero-emission road travel, but more innovation is needed to build better batteries that enable longer journeys and faster charging – and all within an affordable price tag. One of the biggest challenges in tackling the climate crisis will be to clean up our transportation networks.

Manure Expo combines 1) Educational Sessions, 2) Technology Demonstrations, and 3) an Industry Trade Show. Commercial operators work on many farms, meaning that adoption of technology and increased knowledge impact large amounts of acreage. The project is reducing emissions and Phoenix Contact’s carbon footprint.

Yang Fuqiang thinks it is unreasonable to make energy-producing provinces such as Inner Mongolia solely responsible for cutting carbon emissions. If it benefits, it has to help cut carbon. Yet the industry still causes pollution and carbon emissions. Power importers are likely to prefer green power.

As the state moves toward all-electric buildings, replacing older gas-powered furnaces and air conditioning units with heat pumps can reduce carbon emissions and indoor air pollution while increasing efficiency, comfort and resiliency, especially as extreme heat events increase. This is not only a California issue.

Some have argued that weather-dependent energies would, paradoxically, make electricity even more reliable. Adding more variable energy sources to electricity grids, all else being equal, might not in itself make electricity less reliable. But all else is not equal. GW of wind produced at a rate of 0.65

It also incorporates both a warm and a cool period during the oscillation - both of which impact upper atmospheric winds (10). In more recent times, Krakatoa in the East Indies cooled the planet's temperature rise and halted sea level rise for at least two decades, and that was one volcano - albeit an intense one (20).

Coal power, from mining to generation, is among the thirstiest and most polluting ways to produce electricity. But as diplomats meet in Glasgow starting on October 31, with plans to keep the planet from dangerously overheating, water experts say they need to keep more than carbon in mind. These technologies require even more energy.
