Cities throughout our region and the entire US have been adopting CAPs with baseline GHG emission inventories. Years later, what progress has been made? Are we on track to meet climate goals?Can we identify precisely where emissions are coming from? Would knowing help us prioritize remediation efforts? Are there improved measurement tools? How can they be applied to SD county and beyond? Please join our Special Guests Dr. Kevin Gurney, (NAU), Dr. Nilmini Silva-Send (USD), and Dr. Ralph Keeling (Scripps), who will share their groundbreaking work & introduce the concepts of Emissions Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV), all of which Read More ...

We are on the cusp of the fastest, deepest, most profound disruption of the energy sector in over a century. Like most disruptions, this one is being driven by the convergence of several key technologies whose costs and capabilities have been improving on consistent and predictable trajectories – namely, solar photovoltaic power, wind power, and lithium-ion battery energy storage (SWB).  Adoption of SWB is growing exponentially worldwide, and with the right choices many regions can achieve 100% clean electricity as soon as 2030. “Solar and wind potential is far higher than that of fossil fuels and can meet global energy Read More ...
