The village deliberately chose to spend solar income on welfare rather than individual dividends, a decision Jeon says residents made themselves rather than being persuaded. If you divide money as individual income, people feel disconnected.

"We just have not kept up with water supply and water infrastructure like we should have. And it's decades in the making," said Peter Zanoni, the city manager since 2019.

"Americans deserve to know how much energy data centers are sucking up and what that's doing to their utility bills. The EIA's mandatory survey is an important first step towards holding data centers accountable, but people are hurting right now."

Senate Bill 1167 has received the most favorable press, based on the understanding that the e-bike problem is actually an e-moto problem. The ruckus and ER visits are not caused by pedal-assist class 1 and 3 e-bikes, but by throttle devices that often fail to cut off at 20 mph, leading to safety concerns.

"We were considering multiple forms of capital when we started. It just felt like the opportunity is so large that venture capital gives us the opportunity to take those risks upfront and have the possibility to generate an outsized return."

The average price for a gallon of regular unleaded at 17 stations visited was $5.92, which is on par with California's statewide average of $5.89, according to AAA.

Metafuels' aerobrew technology converts renewable methanol into drop-in jet fuel, delivering up to 90% lower lifecycle emissions than conventional kerosene, with no modifications needed for existing aircraft.

SB 343 forces dairy product manufacturers to remove vital recycling guidance from the very cartons Californians rely on every day. This law ignores the reality of our recycling infrastructure and unconstitutionally restricts our right to provide transparent recycling instructions to consumers. We are seeking to stop this policy before it leads to more waste and disrupts our ability to deliver milk to California families and schools.

"For the first time ever, we are able to capture farmers' valuable waste and turn it into cash... so join us, MoFarm, in turning emissions into earnings, and farts into fuel."

"I think it surprised me how easily people are swayed by headlines," says Suderman, noting that wartime information flows are often strategic and conflicting. "You have to learn in a wartime to take everything with a grain of salt in the context of what you observe."

"Lowering speeds does reduce fuel consumption, especially at highway speeds, because aerodynamic drag increases rapidly as speed rises. A reduction of around 10 km/h can realistically lead to fuel savings in the order of 5-10 per cent, depending on the vehicle and driving conditions."

At a meeting at the Paris headquarters of the intergovernmental body dedicated to global energy security, Wright referred to the "destructive illusion" of the IEA's commitment to massively reducing greenhouse gas emissions sourced from fossil fuels. The US, one of 45 member and associate countries of the IEA that represent 75% of the world's energy demand, is threatening to withdraw from the body if it does not quit its energy transition goals in the next year.

Nobody expects today's high prices to last and we could very likely get back to the low $60 [per barrel] environment we faced just a few weeks ago. Experts say the unique geology of California's fields, and the nature of its heavy crude, make new projects, and efforts to pump more oil out of existing ones, costlier and more energy-intensive than drilling in other parts of the country.

"California's policies have slowed American commerce long enough," Rep. Randy Weber (R-Texas) said in a post on the social media platform X announcing the bill.

An all-electric, energy-efficient alternative to gas-burning furnaces, heat pumps are widely seen as the climate-friendly home heater of choice. They can do double-duty as both home heaters and AC units and are pretty good at maintaining a constant temperature inside a home without the blast-then-cool-off cycle typical of a furnace.

Octopus Energy Generation is investing nearly $1bn in Californian clean technology projects, deepening its exposure to the US energy transition and accelerating plans to deploy $2bn across the country by 2030. The funding, channelled through Octopus-managed funds, spans carbon removal, heat battery technology and solar-plus-storage infrastructure, reinforcing the company's strategy of backing next-generation decarbonisation assets in advanced markets. Octopus will support two California-based carbon removal companies focused on grassland restoration and reforestation, converting degraded land into high-quality carbon-absorbing assets.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has announced a restructuring of the $5 billion Clean School Bus Program and opened a public consultation on alternative fuel technologies ahead of the 2026 funding round. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency on February 19, 2026 outlined a path forward for revising the Clean School Bus (CSB) Program, including the launch of a Request for Information (RFI) and the cancellation of the 2024 CSB Rebate Program.

We can implement that in other buildings in the city [where] it makes sense, in your local hospital, your libraries, even your apartment complexes,

Many cities have also banned polystyrene foam containers. While this movement is gaining ground, it still faces strong opposition. Each American uses about 365 single-use plastic bags every year. With a population of 330 million, this adds up quickly. Only about 9% of all plastic ever made has been recycled. The rest ends up in landfills, waterways, or breaks down into microplastics found in human blood, tap water, and table salt.

Last year, the nonprofit Climate Central launched an online database to track the most costly weather- and climate-related disasters across the country. The effort was led by the same lead scientist who tracked those costs for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration-until the Trump administration axed the project in May. In 2025, the US experienced 23 such disasters with costs totaling at least $1 billion, for a total of $115 billion, Climate Central concluded.
