As states and the federal government take steps to transition away from fossil fuel generation, it is important to pay attention to recent clean energy developments in states where energy legislation has historically been less proactive, and the traditional integrated utility monopoly model has held influence over the policymaking process.

This electrification of industry, buildings and transportation will help displace fossil fuels and cut pollution. Coal phaseouts result in sudden and dramatic decreases in carbon pollution. Making renewables preferable to natural gas. And the cleaner the electricity, the greater the benefit.

The co-founder and chief scientist of the nonprofit Rewiring America, formed in July, has mapped out with his colleagues how to ditch fossil fuels for the billion fossil-fuel-powered machines involved in energy production and use, which he said account for 87 percent of U.S. CO2 emissions. Next is the demand side.

And a Bank of America analyst even compared the investment opportunity in the sector to that of smartphones before 2007. While previous estimates found Canada to already be a top-10 global hydrogen producer, supplying some three-million tonnes annually for industrial use, most of this hydrogen is made using fossil fuels.

Under growing pressure to rein in greenhouse gas emissions, developers of liquefied natural gas (LNG) are turning to questionable claims about “carbon neutrality,” “net-zero,” or “green LNG,” in order to pass muster with governments, investors, and society, who are becoming increasingly anxious about the climate crisis.

In 2020, the world produced an estimated 353 million tonnes of plastic waste , vast amounts of which have gone on to pollute landscapes, oceans, and even the air, causing detrimental impacts to our climate, ecosystems, and health. Plastics are everywhere, and the problems they pose are well documented.

President Biden recently announced a “temporary pause on pending approvals of liquefied natural gas exports.” Natural gas, while much cleaner than coal, still emits greenhouse gases when burned. Some have also argued that prioritizing domestic needs for natural gas should come before exporting it.
