Do you ever feel like time is just going too fast and that you can't get round to those things that are important to you. That's how I felt about taking climate action. I just found that I couldn't fit it in.And even when I did start making progress, it just didn't seem enough for the scale of the climate crisis. This all changed when I realized tackling my personal carbon footprint wasn't the golden bullet solution that I was sold to tackling the climate change. Sure, it might seem to make a lot of sense t ...
Trump-Backed Gas Plant Could Become Biggest US Power Polluter
Yahoo Finance· 2026-02-21 16:00
Core Insights - The proposed gas-fired power plant in Ohio, led by SoftBank Group Corp., is projected to be one of the largest sources of carbon dioxide emissions from electricity generation in the US, with a capacity of 9.2 gigawatts and a potential cost of $33 billion [1][2]. Environmental Impact - The plant is estimated to emit approximately 19.4 million metric tons of carbon dioxide annually, based on a 65% capacity factor and typical combined-cycle gas turbine technology, while another estimate suggests emissions could be around 16.2 million tons per year [3]. - This level of emissions is comparable to that produced by 3.8 million gas cars over a year, highlighting the significant climate impact of the project [4]. Industry Context - The gas plant aligns with Japan's commitment to invest $550 billion in the US under a recent trade agreement and supports the Trump administration's efforts to revive the fossil fuels industry [6]. - A coalition of 29 environmental and advocacy groups has urged Japan to refrain from investing in fossil-fuel projects in the US, indicating potential opposition to the project [7]. - While the new gas-fired power could potentially replace coal and reduce overall power sector emissions, it is anticipated that the electricity generated will primarily address the growing demand from expanding data centers [7].

TEDx Talks· 2026-02-04 16:03
[music] [applause] We can't stop climate change, but we can change the way we handle it to slow it down. And therefore, we need to start living a more responsible life. And I believe part of living a more responsible life today means rethinking the way we build our cities for us.and for the next generations. Don't we all want our kids and grandkids to still play outside and chase each other surrounded by nature. But let's be honest, most of us live in cities that are far from natural.Picture this. You wake ...
