Is there a proxy attack on the world as petroleum and munitions industries have record years? Renewable Energy independence is the only path to global peace and prosperity.

Could not agree with this more. From a Northeast perspective, and objectively speaking, there is just no realistic means of meeting state statutory climate requirements while constraining 1/2 to 2/3rds of the economic potential of clean generation resources. Environmentalists should ask themselves whether they'd prefer minor alterations to current development standards for wind, solar and transmission to Quebec, or extend the life of oil and gas-fired peakers. Pretty straightforward.

Big changes are coming to Minnesota's energy landscape! As the state debates its path to carbon-free energy, important questions about our future are being addressed. Learn more about the ongoing discussions and what it means for our communities in this insightful piece by Sahan Journal. 🔗 Read the full article https://lnkd.in/gAJTe4ee #RenewableEnergy #Minnesota #ClimateAction #CleanEnergy #SustainableFuture

The Biden Administration is handing Louisiana regulators new power to attract and approve carbon capture projects at a time when the state’s influential energy sector wants to make the Gulf Coast a hub for the rapidly expanding industry. Americas Energy Summit & Exhibition host state, Louisiana, will be able to issue permits for wells that store carbon dioxide, a critical component of carbon capture and removal technology. In all but two other states, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is responsible for permitting. Proponents of the change say it will speed up approvals of new projects that are critical for reducing climate-warming greenhouse gas emissions. The EPA said the Louisiana agreement standards will serve as a model for other states.

Clean Energy Investor Group's latest submission to the government calls for appropriate changes to how environmental assessments are conducted by the department, not for weaker environmental protections (as some news outlets have recently portrayed). We need environmental assessments to be more timely and the process to be well-structured. This will ensure we have the best chance of meeting our targets, of  keeping energy prices in check, and of maintaining a safe climate outcome for all. Investors are ambitious to meet our climate and energy targets, and ready to unlock capital to do so under the right policy settings. https://lnkd.in/gP3i_RnC Marilyne Crestias Daniel Zelcer Sydney Neijmeijer

This is the summation of the last four years of articles I have written on the importance of energy and the harm that will be done to our country if the current path to Net Zero carbon is not stopped. It is my hope that our elected officials will read it

Some of the dirtiest environmental companies are owned by private equity funds. Here's how they rank in terms of getting clean.

Did you know? Our region is invested in Clean Tech, which are processes, products, or services that reduce negative environmental impacts through significant energy efficiency improvements, the sustainable use of resources, or environmental protection activities. Here are some ways Steuben County is making a difference: Steuben County is the largest producer of onshore wind energy in New York State! Some of the larger turbines in our area produce around 5 MW or 5,000 kilowatts annually. For perspective, a single 5-MW wind turbine can supply enough energy annually to power 1,250 average American homes. How much energy a wind turbine produces depends on generation capacity, which depends on various factors, including weather and if there is enough capacity in the grid to transport all the power generated. Steuben County currently has 5 active wind projects, with 3 more in process, and 8 solar projects, with more in process. Once completed, wind and solar in Steuben County will generate enough renewable energy to power over 500,000 homes. Over the past two years, Steuben County has seen over $1 billion in new construction in the renewable sector, which has led to nearly $2 million in fiscal impact for local communities and schools. Steuben County continues to work on large-scale commercial projects that leverage investments from private companies outside of our economic region, improving our green energy growth and potential. And this is just wind and solar energy! So much more that is not accounted for are investments into things like green hydrogen, clean methane, battery technology, etc., or even how much investment is being made on a residential basis into things like solar and heat pump technology! Research is ongoing to find ways to grow and expand the green energy sector in our beautiful region and measure the environmental benefits these efforts have in our communities. This feature is in collaboration with RWE Clean Energy, LLC and Steuben County IDA. #cleanenergy #renewableenergy #windenergy #steubencounty #fingerlakes #soflx #thisissoflx #cleantech

SB 24-212 “The Renewable Energy Projects Act” is an important first step   in an effort to meet Colorado’s climate, conservation, and community goals, the Energy Siting Coalition, a group of conservation and climate non-governmental organizations (NGOs), worked alongside partners and state officials in the 2024 legislative session to draft and pass SB24-212 “The Renewable Energy Projects Act”.  Check out this great article to learn more. The article is co-authored by Nelson Falkenburg (CATF), Severiano DeSoto (WRA), Chris Menges (TNC), and Daly Edmunds (Audubon Rockies) on behalf of the Colorado Energy Siting Coalition, a group of conservation and environment NGOs advancing siting and permitting of renewable energy while minimizing impacts to wildlife resources and maximizing benefits for communities. The coalition is led by Audubon Rockies, Clean Air Task Force, Conservation Colorado, The Nature Conservancy, Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership, and Western Resource Advocates. https://lnkd.in/g7vVTmd7
