As mentioned in an earlier update, my A/C died this spring. Few things we can personally do to decrease our own carbon footprint are better than electrifying your home and car.
Vermont utility proposes funding batteries for all its customers, saving them $ in the long run!!! Now that is forward thinking!Īctions we can all take to help preserve a livable world, for our and everyone's kids/grandkids:ġ. Toyota is making new batteries that can charge very fast, get 600 m range, and still be cheap and safe!Ĥ. Scientists find success in direct carbon capture in oceans - much more efficient than direct air capture and is absolutely necessary to preserve a livable planet.ģ. MN utilities cooperate to strengthen the grid, to be able to handle more wind power.Ģ. Will we demand our politicians take action on climate? Or just wait and hope?ġ. Scientists are warning us about decreasing food production. The summer food went weird - crops stunted by searing heat. Home insurers cut natural disasters from coverage! In risky areas, if you can't get insurance, you can't get a mortgage, so you can't buy a house (or sell one)!Ĥ.
Will we wake up in time to preserve water resources sustainably?ģ.
People, animals and crops all need fresh water for survival.
