A few months ago I wrote a story called Carbon Removal's Existential Question, where I reported on a seeming divide over how to define what carbon removal is. Today's piece is a follow-up looking at a new company trying to unite the industry around a single standard. heatmap.news/climate/abso...

One thing I find interesting about the echo chamber complaint is that an echo chamber just won a presidential election.
Put aside the convo of whether it’s “good” or “bad” for a moment. The far right has devoted enormous resources + time to building echo chambers & loathes spaces they don’t control
We need to speak plainly and not about high principles or institutions but impacts. The weather is getting worse and more dangerous. The summers are more scorching, and the floods are higher -stop talking about science and stop talking about how dumb other people are for not agreeing with us

Introducing a carbon removal tax credit
This bill will allow innovative American companies working to permanently remove carbon from our atmosphere to access critical incentives that can power their work — in turn unlocking climate benefits, economic growth + in-demand jobs across the country. www.carbonremovalalliance.org/policy-work/...
Today, we were proud to work with U.S. Senators Michael Bennet (D-Colo.) and Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) to introduce important bipartisan legislation to stimulate the carbon removal market in the United States. www.bennet.senate.gov/public/index...

First I’m seeing this and I’m legit 50/50 on whether this is real or a joke
Dispatches on how shocked Susan Collins is are so back
So far the conversation about AI and nuclear has focused on the demand from big tech to lock up clean, firm megawatts for years to come.
Atomic Canyon is flipping this dynamic on its head, by focusing on how AI can help usher in a new golden era for nuclear power.
