Aluminum is a key ingredient in clean energy tech. But the ubiquitous metal is very dirty to make. In my two-part @CanaryMediaInc project, I look at the high-stakes quest to decarbonize this essential material. Today’s piece takes us to eastern Kentucky 1/ canarymedia.com/articles/clean…

News cycle not fiery enough? 🤓 Let me tell you about Iceland's latest efforts to harness heat from scalding-hot rocks and churning magma chambers—the latest frontiers in geothermal energy development. My latest for @CanaryMediaInc canarymedia.com/articles/geoth…

Landfills are the third-largest source of methane emissions in the U.S. As EPA works to update its (currently inadequate) rules for lowering landfill emissions, states like CA, MD, and WA can show the way, @KeatonPeters reports for @CanaryMediaInc canarymedia.com/articles/metha…

Every state has room to improve on promoting community ownership of clean energy. Out of the 50 states + D.C., none received an A. Only one—Illinois—got a B. Just over half of states received a failing grade of F 🙃 @MariaVirginiaO w the Chart of the Week! canarymedia.com/articles/clean…
