Debate rages in the Ohio Legislature over House Bill 6, legislation that is highly misunderstood. It would replace the State’s prescriptive renewable-only subsidies and green energy mandates in favor of more general subsidies to all clean-energy sources, which includes all renewables and nuclear.

Every business owner thinks his/her brand should be in the spotlight, and why not? The long hours, the novel ideas, the enthusiasm, the purposeful value proposition: isn’t it evident the media should take note? And from the days of Gutenberg to the 1970s, the process of generating exposure for your brand was pretty straightforward: write some copy–or hire a publicist to do it for you–and take it to the local newspaper (and maybe buy an ad while you were there.).

Throughout my childhood, I was fortunate enough to have ample opportunity to explore some of our planet’s most beautiful natural wonders — from hikes within the Shenandoah National Park to coral reefs along Florida’s coasts, to the creek right in my backyard in Northern Virginia. I have always felt the most at home outdoors, so when I learned about how climate change poses a threat to the existence of these places, my heart ached tremendously.

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.

Renewable energy has made an impact. This is due in part to younger generations, like Gen Z and Millennials, who reached an age in 2018 where their purchasing power has shifted corporate behavior. Prominent among these shifts is an increase in ride-sharing and public transit over car ownership, and an elevated political awareness of climate change. We can be grateful here that younger generations have a tendency to break away from their parents’ viewpoints.

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.
