US Climate Advisor sees essential need to retain nuclear units : Energy & Environment

19 May 2021 Share The USA will need its existing nuclear power plants to help meet the Biden Administration s net zero by 2035 pledge, White House National Climate Advisor Gina McCarthy said yesterday during a webinar held by Columbia University Centre on Global Energy Policy. Last month, President Joe Biden announced a target to cut US emissions by 50%-52% from 2005 levels by 2030. White House National Climate Advisor Gina McCarthy US Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm told the House Appropriations subcommittee on 6 May that she was open to the idea of subsidies for nuclear plants. Asked about this topic, McCarthy said: In many areas, continuation of the existing nuclear, as long as it s environmentally sound and it s permitted, is going to be absolutely essential because we need the time to actually find a way to get renewable energy [to be] a bigger part of the [energy] mix.

Biden Test-Drives New Truck to Promote Electric Vehicles - New Delhi Times - India s Only International Newspaper

May 19, 2021 Share On a day many motorists in the southeastern United States could not find gasoline, President Joe Biden promoted the transition to electrical vehicles while warning that China is ahead in the race to build the next-generation automobiles. “They think they’re going to win, but I got news for them. They will not win this race. We can’t let them. We have to move fast,” said the president during a visit to a Michigan plant where electric pickup trucks are made. Ford on Wednesday will formally unveil its F-150 Lightning, an all-electric version of its best-selling pickup truck, which the president drove on a test track following his remarks.

IEA Says Climate Goals Out-of-Reach with Continued Investment in Fossil Fuels – gCaptain

By Nina Chestney LONDON, May 18 (Reuters) – Investors should not fund new oil, gas and coal supply projects if the world wants to reach net zero emissions by mid-century, the International Energy Agency (IEA) said on Tuesday, in the top global watchdog’s starkest warning yet to curb fossil fuels. Any abrupt halt to new oil and gas projects by next year still appears unlikely, however, as energy majors’ spending plans still tilt heavily towards hydrocarbons, and oil-producing nations such as Norway plan new licensing rounds. “The pathway to net zero is narrow but still achievable. If we want to reach net zero by 2050 we do not need any more investments in new oil, gas and coal projects,” Fatih Birol, the IEA’s executive director, told Reuters.

Alex Wong/Getty Images White House climate adviser Gina McCarthy said yesterday that the administration will continue to back carbon capture and storage projects after an environmental justice advisory panel to President Biden called for omitting initiatives that use the technology. Speaking virtually at a Columbia University Center on Global Energy Policy summit, McCarthy said the White House would look to address challenges raised by advocates and suggested there could be ways to counter traditional pollutants from CCS to blunt what she called the discriminating burden on some communities.
