Beyond solar: Here’s what the clean energy future might look like
Images of a clean-energy future tend to feature wind turbines and solar panels, iconic symbols of the struggle to halt global warming. But the United States is pursuing a much wider range of solutions to drive down greenhouse gas emissions. Soon, a direct air capture facility, or a carbon capture and storage project, or a clean hydrogen hub could be proposed in a town near you. Maybe one already has. Two recent laws — last year’s bipartisan infrastructure legislation and this year’s Inflation Reduction Act — offer developers billions of dollars to build these kinds of projects.
Experts say these technologies are needed to tackle climate change. They can help cut carbon from hard-to-decarbonize parts of the economy that cannot simply switch over to renewable electricity. But there are very few large-scale examples operating today. To help people visualize what …

Reindeer
- Scientific name: Rangifer tarandus
- Conservation status: Vulnerable
Reindeer are large deer found in cold northerly regions in the northern hemisphere. Although they’re the same species, reindeer found in North America are known as ‘caribou’.
Reindeer (caribou) in Canada make the longest migration of any (non-flying) land animal. In a single year they can travel as far as 3,000 miles / 5,000 km.
Reindeer have become closely associated with Christmas since the early nineteenth century. In the traditional festive legend, Santa …

Release: Groups Share Bipartisan Principles for 2023 Farm Bill
Letter Calls on Members of Congress to Promote Farmer and Taxpayer-friendly Reforms
Washington, DC, November 29, 2022 – Today, the National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition (NSAC), R Street Institute, Taxpayers for Common Sense (TCS), and U.S. PIRG released a joint set of farm bill reform principles in preparation for the 2023 Farm Bill reauthorization.
“NSAC is grateful for our partners who recognize that this is a pivotal moment to support farmers, especially beginning, diverse, and socially disadvantaged farmers most frequently left out of farm programs.” said Billy Hackett, Policy Specialist. “We must also steward a more responsible and responsive use of public dollars which creates returns on consumer investment, including production of more nutrient-dense foods.”
This joint letter represents …
Floods differ in a warmer future
Nature Climate Change, Published online: 28 November 2022; doi:10.1038/s41558-022-01541-z
A lack of observed increases in flooding with climate change has been difficult to explain. Now, research shows a decline in snowmelt to be the cause.

Behaviour as leverage
Nature Climate Change, Published online: 16 November 2022; doi:10.1038/s41558-022-01531-1
Behaviour change is essential for effective solutions to climate threats. Thus, policy-relevant behavioural science studies are needed for a shift towards human-centred climate actions.
