EV adoption will help cut CO2 from cars, but the heavy, battery-laden vehicles could make tire pollution worse. To try and solve that problem, U.K. startup ENSO - 2023 Earthshot Prize Finalist has been developing tires designed for EVs that it says can slash particulate emissions by lasting longer than competing products.

On July 31st at 2PM ET, join Canary Media and Clean Energy Associates (CEA) for a discussion that will dive into the current state of the lithium-ion supply chain and an outlook for how it will evolve over the next five years. Register for free here: https://ow.ly/ULtg50SCE2U Daniel Finn-Foley, Director of Energy Storage for CEA, and Aaron Marks, Energy Storage Consultant for CEA, will share insights from CEAs latest pricing, supply, policy, and technology research, answering questions including: - How are storage OEMs, integrators and developers adjusting to new US incentives and tariffs? - Will the carrot and stick approach result in meaningful domestic content becoming the norm for battery energy storage? - Can renewed investment in raw material production drive sufficient growth to meet soaring demand from OEMs? - When can purchasers expect stationary storage costs to decline, given potentially intense supply chain disruption? Don't miss this exciting discussion! #lithiumion #batteries #batterymaterials #cleanenergy #energystorage #lithiumionbatteries #batterysupplychain

In North Carolina, community members and advocates see a path — however narrow — to defeating a proposed gas plant that would threaten state climate goals. “What would happen if there is an accident? If there is a fire or an explosion? It’s a real concern for the children, the teachers, and the staff that work in the school.” Reporting by Energy News Network: https://ow.ly/q59e50SCsbl #dukeenergy #utilities #gasplants #northcarolina #energytransition

A lot of things are driving U.S. electric utility rates higher — volatile fossil gas prices and costly investments in aging grids and coal plants among them. But cheap wind and solar can’t be blamed for sky-high power bills, a new Energy Innovation Policy and Technology LLC report finds.

Don’t blame clean energy for rising electric bills

In the latest industry-backed effort to stifle the clean energy transition, a Washington state initiative aimed at preventing statewide and local bans on fossil gas is likely to appear on voters’ ballots this November. “Special interest groups that have a vested interest in maintaining the gas system see that policies and technologies are moving away from their product. They’re getting desperate and trying to do whatever they can.” Here's the story: https://ow.ly/mhFp50SAlIm #Washington #WashingtonState #climatepolicy #gasban #fossilfuels #gasstoves
