Here are the options going forward for regulating existing power plants. Switch to another legal basis for regulation. There’s been a lot of discussion among academics and advocates about instead using section 115 of the Clean Air Act as a basis for carbon regulations. Download as PDF. appeared first on Legal Planet.

Next, we joined the Going-to-the-Sun Road for six miles, a necessary but unpleasant stretch due to the noise and fumes from traffic (a reminder of the carbon emissions that threaten the very glaciers we had come to see). We hiked this section to avoid startling bears, as Montana has the largest grizzly population in the lower 48.

Some SMR designs, such as NuScale, are modified versions of operating water-cooled reactors, while others are radically different designs that use coolants other than water, such as liquid sodium, helium gas, or even molten salts. To date, however, theoretical interest in SMRs has not translated into many actual reactor orders.

One place to look is the power grid , responsible for a quarter of the United States’ carbon emissions. For space heating and cooling, as well as water heating, heat pumps are a great solution for replacing fossil fuel appliances such as gas boilers—even in wintery parts of the country, thanks to new cold-climate heat pumps.

Google officials say their data centers need more water to cool the equipment, but neither the city nor Google will say exactly how much more. The root cause of the issue is global climate change, which can only be addressed by rapidly curbing carbon emissions. Google claims the water-use data is a trade secret.

Trees produce shade, but they also cool the air through transpiration. A building shaded by trees has lower air conditioning costs, which also reduces both direct heat and carbon emissions. Trees remain the best place to start for cooling the city. The best time to plant a tree, as they say, is twenty years ago.

The rocks are then crushed, ground, superheated in a kiln, cooled and rolled before it is finally ready for transport. Due to the prominence of these materials and the heavy industrial processes, it has been difficult to abate emissions in this sector. Making concrete is an energy- and fuel-intensive process.
