Yeah, #PGE, I use more energy than the average person because I actually charge my #PHEV. (unlike the average owner ).

You shouldn't shame people for reducing their carbon footprint.

Ditch the #AntiPattern and support people #DeCarbonizing

Is #Oregon's next big #orLeg transportation package going to write ODOT another blank check while failing to make any serious effort toward #decarbonizing, maybe sprinkle some subsidies on #electricCars? I can't believe we're still operating under some assumption that there are adults in the room who understand how #transportation actually works, and people trying to get somewhere without a car will just have to wait for the entire world to be rebuilt in some other future investment package.

…@uwmadisonphysics…constructing and testing fusion energy device known as #WHAM (Wisconsin HTS Axisymmetric Mirror)…transitioned to operations mode, a major milestone for the yearslong #research project that’s received support from #USDoE.

“The outlook for #decarbonizing our energy sector is just much higher with fusion than anything else,” so Cary Forest, @UWMadisonphysics prof… “#FirstPlasma is a crucial first step for us in that direction.”

#Decarbonizing the #IndustrialSector is a noble undertaking, but most are treating it as another opportunity to #grift. #DOE does itself and the taxpayers no favors by throwing largesse at every possible solution imaginable, hoping that one will work. How about some #Leadership instead?

👉Pour se souhaiter la bonne année, c'est toujours intéressant de se rappeler les bonnes pratiques... sans détourner les informations essentielles (=greenwashing 🌏).
On parle de tous les côtés de "décarboner" et le graphisme ci-dessous est assez clair à ce sujet. 🚗 Une voiture électronique, par exemple, reste un moyen de transport très impactant.

Qu'en pensent-ils nos élus ?

This is fantastic, and not before time (and yes, I also subscribe to view that the answer needs ebikes/bikes, high speed rail, transit and 15minute cities, but they will not be fully realised across Canada by 2035)

Negotiators at #COP28 decide whether the world commits to a "phase out" of #fossilfuels or a "phase down." Remember that your business can decide for itself immediately! Great @bcg report showing the benefits of #decarbonizing. #smallactionsbigdifference

"These findings pose a two-fold challenge for #decarbonizing the #steel & #cement industries..governments need to expand essential infrastructure rapidly; on the other hand, industries need to prepare for the risk of deployment failures, rather than solely waiting for large-scale #infrastructure to emerge. Our feasible supply scenarios provide compelling evidence of the urgency of demand-side actions & establish benchmarks for the required level of #resource efficiency"

Getting Rid of #Gas #Stoves Could Lead to Mass Renovictions
#Fossilfuel #emissions from buildings account for 10-15% of California’s #carbon emissions, and building industry as a whole accounts for a quarter of state’s emissions. #Decarbonizing #California's housing stock could have some serious unintended consequences for #renters. Another bill seeks to curb “renovictions” by increasing the relocation costs that #landlords are required to pay when #evicting #tenants. https://www.vice.com/en/article/wxj7wq/getting-rid-of-gas-stoves-could-lead-to-mass-renovictions-advocates-say
