The key to transitioning from gasoline-powered cars to electric hinges on efficient, long-lasting batteries.
Most of the world’s supply of lithium comes from just four countries: Australia, Chile, China and Argentina.
The company’s spokes are smaller facilities that would be closer to where the batteries are coming from, thereby cutting down on transportation costs.
The strategy is linked to the government’s plan to get automakers to build electric cars in Ontario, with batteries also built locally from minerals extracted in the province.
I may have missed it in your article, but I don’t think you mentioned that not all pots work on an induction stove top; they need to be cast iron or steel.
For his safety, after every time we use the stove, we place a cool pan or pot over the hot spot until by conduction it cools the stovetop to room temperature.
Several readers, including Marlene Campbell, wrote in with a caution for people with pacemakers or insulin pumps: the magnetic fields generated by induction stoves can interfere with these devices.
There’s also a radio show and podcast! As countries work to phase out fossil fuels, what can be learned from Aberdeen, Scotland, the oil capital of Europe? This weekend, an encore play of What On Earth’s documentary The Trouble with Transition.
Whether it’s political discourse or the efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines, the major platforms have been fairly lax about policing erroneous statements.
Its definition of misinformation is quite broad, including posts that deny the existence of human-caused climate change, content that “misrepresents scientific data” and mendacious statements about extreme weather events.
In a statement, Pinterest said, “The expanded climate misinformation policy is yet another step in Pinterest’s journey to combat misinformation and create a safe space online.” This is a significant step given the sheer quantity of counterfactual content on social media.
One of the downsides of solar power is it only generates electricity when the sun shines, and not necessarily when the most power is needed.
The investment tax credit would reimburse carbon capture projects that grab pollution at the source to prevent new emissions by up to 50 per cent.
Currently, most of the captured carbon dioxide in Canada is used in a decades-old process called enhanced oil recovery, where CO2 is pushed into an oil or gas reservoir to scrub out more fossil fuels.
In January, 400 academics signed a letter to Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland urging the exclusion of the oil and gas sector from the credit.
Bernstein sees the financial reward of the investment tax credit as a way for Canada to continue its production of fossil fuels for now.
Other industries are poised to benefit from the investment tax credit, including cement, steel and chemical production — all processes which produce greenhouse gasses.
