1 in 5 new car sales globally were EVs in 2023, and that's curbed oil demand – IEA

Without clean energy and EVs, the global rise in emissions in the last five years would have been three times larger, new IEA analysis shows.

Is this via a Solar to Hydrogen Investment Trust (SH*T) investment vehicle? Glad they will be using their waste water instead of putting Chromium in drinking water.

...In 2023 heat pumps outsold gas furnaces in the United States for the second year running, a climate win. Electrical heat pumps are the cheapest and most energy efficient ways to heat and cool homes, and they do not emit the carbon pollution that is overheating the planet.​

​

No state has adopted them faster than Maine....​

Great acronym!

Great acronym!

same as the Carbon Capture BS that 1 could not make a measurable impact to carbon levels and 2 uses carbon to run the carbon capture


watch Engineering with Rosie on youtube, very informative

The old 'catch and release' drill. LOL

thats a bit different, if you handle the fish correctly once caught, it will keep living in the oceans after release

Same with CO2, it totally reverses the efforts when it leaks back out. LOL

dont forget about the methane diaster

"Methane is more than 28 times as potent as carbon dioxide at trapping heat in the atmosphere. Over the last two centuries, methane concentrations in the atmosphere have more than doubled, largely due to human-related activities."

Yep, it's amazing how much less China emits per capita and they are producing most of the goods the world enjoys. So what does the US do to generate all that pollution? Leisure activities?

I’m thinking fracking is a source of methane leaks for the usa

World's Largest Deposit Of Natural Hydrogen Gas Discovered In Albanian Mine

Huge quantities of almost pure hydrogen were measured within the mine.

www.iflscience.com

"The largest natural flow of hydrogen gas ever discovered has been detected seeping through a pool of water deep within a chromium mine in Albania."

Well, I guess chromium IS good for you. LOL

To be fair, the US is the number one producer of oil and NG. So that is a source of carbon and methane. It isn't like we are all sitting on the couch.

The US has a problem with SUVs and distances driven. Very few of us live in public transportation citiies. Our other problem in all the flights. Tons of people fly to various places for work. And then we have large houses.

Being rich and spread out - like no other country in the world - was bound to be high carbon even if we were otherwise reasonable (which we aren't).

Good argument for public transportation in cities and Intercity trains.
Europe has much better infrastructure. I've lived there and used city busses and trains as well as Intercity trains. Europe bans short haul flights.

Talk about big houses. People on NextDoor complaining about high natural gas bill (>$500) while mine and many others are <$100. Big houses, old leaky windows, poorly designed homes (open floor plan, vaulted ceiling), swimming pool and hot tub in the back yard, etc. It's like the Queen of France telling me that life is hard. LOL

Agree, even if you have it $$, it’s about simplifying and consuming less, reuse, recycle
My wife and I share our MY, lucky right now we have no work commutes
