You're talking about VPP or virtual power plants. The administration is trying to pump ALOT of resources in this. If we can store energy during off hours more efficiently and able to distribute that during peak hours we will go a long way The goal is to make every household and establiment a VPP and pay them for their energy
Wrong. It's already here. Started in 2015 under the right-leaning Boris Johnson, UK ULEZ zones are meant to reduce local air pollution. Pretty much all cars since 2006 (not just electric ones) meet the low emission standard. In the US, we already have a low emission standard, and you have to pay a yearly fee to ensure you meet it.
HELENA, Mont. (AP) — Young environmental activists scored what may be a groundbreaking legal victory Monday when a Montana judge said state agencies were violating their constitutional right to a clean and healthful environment by allowing fossil fuel development. The ruling in this first-of-its- kind trial in the U.S. adds to a small number of legal decisions around the world that have established a government duty to protect citizens from climate change. If it stands, the ruling could set an important legal precedent, though experts said its immediate impacts will be limited and state officials pledged to seek to overturn the decision on appeal. District Court Judge Kathy Seeley found the policy the state uses in evaluating requests for fossil fuel permits — which does not allow agencies to evaluate the effects of greenhouse gas emissions — is unconstitutional.
Judge sides with youth in Montana climate change trial, finds two laws unconstitutional Judge says failure to consider emissions, climate impacts violates state constitution The State of Montana’s failure to consider greenhouse gas emissions from energy and mining projects violates the state constitution because it does not protect Montanans’ right to a clean and healthful environment and the state’s natural resources from unreasonable depletion, a judge ruled Monday in a victory for 16 youth plaintiffs who sued the state. Lewis and Clark County District Court Judge Kathy Seeley sided with the young plaintiffs in her decision in the Held v. Montana trial, striking down as unconstitutional the so-called “limitation” to the Montana Environmental Policy Act, which was amended by the legislature this year, as well as another portion of law surrounding greenhouse gas emissions that was changed this past session. Seeley permanently enjoined the 2023 version of the MEPA limitation, passed via House Bill 971 more than halfway through the session, as well as a portion of Senate Bill 557, saying both were unconstitutional and the latter “removes the only preventative, equitable relief available to the public and MEPA litigants.” “Plaintiffs have a fundamental right to a clean and healthful environment, which includes climate as part of the environmental life support system,” Seeley wrote in her decision.
LOL..... 2009? He died in 2020. The important thing is.... what would Dyson say on 8/16/23 when we have an additional 14 years of new data.
How convenient. At any rate.... 2009 is still a bit ago and you are reaching for the bottom of the barrel to convince folks this is regional or natural.
For you to think Freeman Dyson is at "the bottom of the barrel" is like an amoeba talking about Albert Einstein. Actually, Dyson worked with Einstein lol.
LOL. I know who Freemon Dyson is...Just sad you have to drag his statement from 2009 and say "see!" in 2023. So yea.... bottom of the barrel of trying to make the case climate change is regional or not man made..... or whatever nonsense you believe.
3.3 trillion dollars is ****ing crazy. People have no idea what's coming around the corner. America is literally going be a different country in a decade
To some Dyson was a genius to other he was crazy. Dude came up with all sorts of ideas - like covering a star with objects to harness its energy (the famous Dyson Sphere). It should be noted that although he was of the great theoretical physicists, he literally had nothing to do with climate science other than belonging to a climate denier association. But I respect him greatly nonetheless even though his views on climate science were pretty strange. He once suggested planting a trillion trees to address climate change for instance.
