"The world has pledged to wean itself off 'dirty' coal to slow the pace of climate change, so why is China - already the world's top producer and consumer of coal - upping its output?"

"The state is tied for dead last in renewable energy adoption. Little surprise, with so much fossil fuel money flowing to its commissioners."

"These green homes are designed to be as energy efficient as possible. New incentives aim to make them more budget-friendly."

"The U.S offshore wind energy industry says it needs to fight back against disinformation being spread by opponents of wind farms."

"Not a single Republican lawmaker voted for the Inflation Reduction Act in 2022. Since then, many of them have voted to repeal its clean energy provisions and criticized the law as a waste of taxpayer money. But red districts have emerged as the climate law’s biggest winners."

"President Biden’s New Deal-inspired green jobs program has been a target of Republican criticism."

"Concrete is the most ubiquitous man-made building material on the planet, but making it generates massive amounts of CO2 emissions. Companies are experimenting with ways to green the process, from slashing the use of limestone to capturing the carbon generated when it’s burned."

"In a leafy neighborhood in Framingham, Massachusetts, cars traverse a freshly capped trench conveying a newly implanted pipe below the roadbed. From the jet-black strip of tar at the surface, one could imagine that the local gas company just replaced another of New England’s leaky gas mains. In fact, the infrastructure buried this year in Framingham marks a clean break from fossil-fueled business-as-usual. Rather than delivering combustible methane gas, Framingham's newest piping carries tepid water that’s the lifeblood of a geothermal energy system—technology that could help put gas pipes out of business across the United States."

"In Virginia, laws passed so far require agencies to find and address specific sources of PFAS pollution when they have contaminated a public drinking water system. But clean water advocates want the state to require more monitoring now at facilities known to be possible sources of PFAS so that action can be taken more quickly when additional federal limits are finalized."

"Almost nothing stood in the way of the pounding waves that crashed into seaside homes in Staten Island’s Tottenville neighborhood when Superstorm Sandy struck the city 12 years ago....
