While a wind-powered cargo vessel may seem like a 19 th Century idea, the Grain de Sail may be a herald of a greener future rather than a nostalgic nod to the past. Building more vessels that travel at this slower speed regardless of using wind power or conventional engines will also lead to quieter oceans and less air pollution.

Over its lifetime, a gasoline, diesel, propane or natural gas school bus will be responsible for more than 800 metric tons of global warming pollution. An electric school bus on the other hand drastically reduces climate pollution by well over 80 percent. But lower climate emissions aren’t the only benefit.

Minnesotans are facing concurrent crises of climate change, high energy prices and inflation, and the inequitable public health impacts of fossil fuel air pollution. Renewable energy will help with all of that—but we need a grid that is designed for wind and solar instead of having to rely on expensive coal and gas plants.

That means they are going to politicians with their hand out to receive more of your tax dollars with nothing to show for it except receipts from past failures like leaking pipelines, harmful air pollution, and dangerous explosions. It’s focused on increasing the price of natural gas to increase its bottom line.

Investing in renewable and battery storage: Under DTE’s proposed plan, the company would add 15,400 megawatts (MW) of new solar and wind power by 2042, which it says is enough to power approximately 4 million homes. DTE currently has 3,000 MW of existing and approved solar and wind resources.)

With this loss goes flood protection, air pollution removal, plants and animals (including some of the most rare and endangered), food production, and recreational opportunities. The rapidly falling prices and greater efficiencies of solar and wind power should make the switching and growth even easier.

Wind and solar energy facilities emit no air pollution and have minimal environmental effects as compared to fossil fuel plants, but like all types of development, renewable energy projects do have impacts. However, misinformation sometimes leads those impacts to be misunderstood or exaggerated.
