Biden-Harris: The work begins. Joel Makower. Sat, 11/07/2020 - 10:39. Whatever your political leanings, the election of Joe Biden as President of the United States increases the odds of bringing America back into the community of nations addressing the climate crisis. “Increases the odds” is the key phrase in the above sentence. There’s a lot of work to do, and not just by our elected representatives, to regain our footing on this issue — and to regain our standing on the global stage.

An area of nearby Beacon Fell in the Forest of Bowland, was felled by high winds a few years ago and then recently cleared by forestry operations leaving acres of tree stumps. It is an area where we have taken over 100 daily walks in 2020, since the first lockdown back in March, giving the privilege to watch the area regenerate through spring, across the summer months and now into autumn, preparing for new growth.

In today's industrial landscape, the pursuit of sustainable energy optimization and decarbonization has become paramount. Manufacturing corporations across the U.S. are facing the urgent need to align with decarbonization goals while enhancing efficiency and productivity. Unfortunately, the lack of comprehensive energy data poses a significant challenge for manufacturing managers striving to meet their targets.

Former vice president Joe Biden will be the next president of the United States, after securing the needed electoral votes in key swing states to defeat incumbent President Donald Trump. The Democratic candidate made clean energy and climate change a central part of his campaign, promising to spend $2 trillion on the energy transition in his first term.

With the first wave of the energy transition, renewable energy sources (such as solar and wind) have begun replacing coal power generation. However, some sectors are lagging behind and struggling to decarbonize more than others, including large-scale transportation like commercial aviation, shipping, and rail transit. Electrofuels (aka eFuels) are the next generation of solutions to help the hardest-to-abate sectors pivot from their reliance on fossil fuels.

But experts warn that without control of the Senate the President-elect may struggle to deliver on his promised net zero strategy and green recovery package. Joe Biden is poised to become the 45th President of the United States of America, after CNN and the Associated Press both projected that he has secured enough votes in key swing states today to dash Donald Trump's hopes of a second term in the White House, thus putting the world's biggest economy on course for a swift return to the Paris Ag

America's departure from the Paris Agreement will be short and sweet, and with Joe Biden's victory the global consensus on the urgent need for climate action suddenly looks stronger than ever. And just like that, a modicum of sanity was restored. The world's most powerful office is set to be held by a dignified man who accepts climate change is the gravest long term threat faced by human civilisation and a canny politician determined to do something about it.

With 191 country signatories to the Paris Climate Agreement now hard at work in the race to zero carbon by 2050, much of the heavy lifting in ecosystem sustainability falls on the shoulders of the world's densely populated urban centers.

Best selling autos included the Volkswagen ID.3 and MG ZS EV. Old school combustion vehicles are now barely above 10% of the market and quickly disappearing.
