Thats why I believe the Climate Accountability Act is a critical step for Wisconsin, especially given all the ways the federal government is trying to move us backward on addressing climate change. the federal government is trying to move us backwards on addressing climate change. Madison is our home.
While the Ontario government has unleashed housing sprawl on agricultural lands, including trying to undermine the Greenbelt – it has slammed the door shut on ground-mounted solar in all agricultural lands including Ontarios marginal farmland. Stacking the deck in favour of naturalgas developers.

Toronto | Traditional territories of the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishinaabeg, the Haudenosaunee, and the Wendat – We are disappointed to see the Ontario government make unsupported claims about the proposed federal clean electricity regulations. Ontario is going the wrong way when it comes to clean electricity.

Even so, it compares favorably with the national governments in places like the U.S. Two thirds of generation capacity is based on fossil fuels, split evenly between coal and naturalgas, with 17% nuclear, and 14% hydro and other renewables. 50% coal, 26% gas, and 25% nuclear. and Australia.
Governments, including COP28 host the United Arab Emirates, acknowledge this fact. A poignant example is Mozambique, where foreign companies, notably Eni and TotalEnergies, have injected nearly $30 billion into offshore natural-gas reserves and liquid naturalgas (LNG) capacity.
Affordable Gas Transition Act (AGTA) While the RAPID Act focuses on supporting renewable electricity infrastructure development, AGTA represents the Hochul Administration’s attempt to facilitate a transition away from naturalgas. However, AGTA endeavors to decelerate further expansion of the naturalgas system.

In a pathbreaking opinion, the German Constitutional Court ordered the government to adopt much stricter emissions targets for 2030. Another required the state, “mindful also of its responsibility toward future generations: to protect the “natural foundations of life and animals.” Here, I want to briefly summarize some key rulings.
Over the past 20 years, enough research studies and investigations have been done to clearly demonstrate many of the health risks posed by shale gas development, said Alison L. Any call for more studies should not preclude swift and meaningful action on the part of our government. Now is the time for Gov. Thats their job.

A key provision (IRA § 60114) appropriates $250 million to support emission reduction planning by state governments. climate policy.
This “plan to plan” indicates that the provincial government has come a long way from the ideologically-driven cancellation of over 750 clean power projects and the days of removing EV chargers. Ultimately, it will be judged based on where the province lands on a number of policies, including the role of naturalgas in Ontario.
A few critical points puncture the industry’s empty rhetoric: When hydrogen is burned, it can emit as many nitrogen oxides as naturalgas combustion —if not more —which can cause significant respiratory health problems. Hydrogen infrastructure is not the same as naturalgas infrastructure. degree C target within reach.
