Part 2: Revisiting the Key Findings of an influential Carbon Trading and Environmental Equity Study – Additional Details

Low Carbon Prosperity

While very limited conclusions about net population exposure to air pollution can be drawn from the data presented in the original study, the findings are suggestive that all population characteristics were more likely to experience decreases in GHG pollution exposure from facilities in years 2013-2015 (see Part 1, Figure 3 ).

A decidedly impartial review of Mark Jacobson’s 100% Clean, Renewable Energy and Storage for Everything

Renewable Energy World

Their report revealed that by combining wind, solar, geothermal and hydropower sources, California could, theoretically, meet 100% of its electricity demand with WWS. Hydropower electricity produced in the Pacific Northwest would be imported to fill in the gaps. Jacobson, Mark Ruffalo, and Josh Fox. © Jon Wank. He received a M.S.

The Future(s) of Fossil Fuels - 2020

Mr. Sustainability

They plan to combine green energy provided by wind turbines, biomass, solar panels and hydropower, with agricultural waste and grasses from the Northern provinces in the Netherlands as feedstock for the chemical cluster. Another, potentially even more futuristic example is Heliogen , dedicated to making fuel out of thin air.
