Perspective: The Role of Offsets in Climate Change Legislation

Green Car Congress

This article shows that including offsets in climate change legislation would likely make an emissions program more cost-effective by: (a) providing an incentive for non-regulated sources to generate emission reductions; and (b) expanding emission compliance opportunities for regulated entities. Assuming the offset is legitimate—i.e.,

This Fusion Reactor Is Held Together With Tape

Cars That Think

We just hope we can do it in time to be a major part of the solution to the climate crisis.” To make YBCO tape, some manufacturers first use a laser to vaporize bulk YBCO into a plume. We showed that we could basically hand-build 16 winding coils and assemble them into one high-performing magnet,” says Sorbom.
