It had been about a year and a half since he left his job at an aerospace company to found a clean energy startup in San Francisco with three of his friends, but the path to success he’d once envisioned had crumbled. Charm would use the same technology, but instead of turning plants into a useful energy product, it would offer a service.

EQT’s move comes on the heels of a similar announcement from Chesapeake Energy, one of the pioneers of fracking which recently emerged from bankruptcy. But it’s difficult to pin down what “responsibly sourced” gas means, in part because of a growing number of competing certification programs that all offer their own definitions.

And that is exactly where it hurts most: once there is no more multi-year ice, the Arctic is per very definition ice-free during summer and the unit is broken. In the absence of thick multi-year ice, which can be up to five meters deep, any water that refreezes would take the form of much thinner, more navigable seasonable ice.

Food is basically a combination of energy, water and nutrients. Some plants and micro-organisms can make food ‘out of thin air’ by simply rearranging carbon, water and oxygen molecules using energy from the Sun. Lab-grown meat dramatically cuts back on carbon emissions , methane emissions, water consumption and land use.
