This has been the issue with methane for a while: it's worthless at the wellhead because there's a huge amount being extracted.
Given how miserable the extraction is to be around, it would really help to have a way to create regional prosperity without the extraction.
Emissions from in-house data centers of Google, Microsoft, Meta and Apple may be 7.62 times higher than official figures
Exclusive: Labour will also boost environmental efforts by reestablishing climate role cut by Rishi Sunak
I'll note that the last attempt was by somebody who was basically a nihilist school shooter type who saw that he might be particularly famous if he killed the President.

It's on voters to impose them by keeping him out of office
New operator, Neso, will also oversee Great Britain’s gas system as part of ‘clean energy superpower’ mission
There has been a fair bit of discussion about what parts of the electrical supply system need to be publicly owned to enable all households to move to public ownership in order to achieve full decarbonization. The system operator, which manages day-to-day decisions about generation, is a key one in pretty much all of them.
The problem is that we'll still have a Republican-appointed Supreme Court. It takes more than just electing a Democratic President to change things there; it takes a willing Congress and (maybe) a few justices dropping dead.
Absolutely, but the executives started claiming that EVs would require less labor to manufacture. It's utter bullshit, but they managed to panic a bunch of the workers.
- Big batteries need cooling during charging.
- A/C units need to do heat exchange.
- Aesthetics
It's not as fast as I'd like either, but it's a lot better than the original USPS plan to replace them with diesel trucks.
Per the article:
as the planet warms further, the increase in risk actually falls heaviest on those swimming in money rather than floodwater.
It may not kill, but it's going to be incredibly expensive.
It's more that there needs to be a lot more discussion of the fact that converting to EVs doesn't mean fewer jobs. So the autoworkers unions don't need to fight it.
That 'sprint to the middle' happens in every general election campaign. You can't get elected if you don't do it.
To very different degrees
A ton of Democrats have turned down that money.
Very surprised at the price claims; in the US, doing a conversion has been expensive enough that it's rarely done
The two actions are not mutually exclusive.
It's link based; vote.gov doesn't actually register — they connect people with the correct state voter registration website.
A lot of people don't pay attention to politics, and don't realize things like the need to register to vote since their last move, since their name changed when they got married, etc. They just want to shake it out.
I figure it's the spray-tan which doesn't go on right next to the eyes.
A big chunk of Swifties are in their 30s at this point
She likely needs to win in Pennsylvania to win, and opposition to fracking would cost her votes there.
Attitudes in the state are changing, but not yet at the point where she can openly oppose fracking and win.
Taylor Swift endorsed Biden in 2020. She did not endorse Clinton, though apparently considered it.
