Wastewater from overburdened urban septic systems and air pollution from burning fossil fuels contribute to nitrogen pollution, but often runoff of the synthetic fertilizers used in industrialized agriculture is the primary culprit. Seaweed's potential as a solution to this crisis is two-fold, scientists and environmentalists say.

The US is set to get its first ever carbon equivalent tax - on methane. Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas with a global warming potential many times higher than that of CO2. The IRA introduces a charge on methane emissions starting at $900 per metric tonne, before rising to $1,500 per tonne after two years.
