A recent United Nations provision has banned the use of mercury in spacecraft propellant. Although no private company has actually used mercury propellant in a launched spacecraft, the possibility was alarming enough—and the dangers extreme enough—that the ban was enacted just a few years after one U.S.-based Mercury is a neurotoxin.

They] will lock in high greenhouse gas emissions, water use and mercury pollution for decades. The study notes that the plants would also emit hydrogen sulfide and mercury, which, if not properly scrubbed and treated, are potentially harmful to human health. —Robert B. —Chi-Jen Yang. Resources.

Cutting particle pollution, nitrogen NO x , and SO x by more than 25% as a co-benefit. EPA is using four “building blocks” to determine state-specific goals: Reducing the carbon intensity of generation at individual affected electric generating units (EGUs) through heat-rate improvements. Expanded lower-carbon generation.

Continue efforts to decarbonize the economy, with emphasis on the electricity sector. Broadening the tax credit for wind to include all forms of renewable energy, replacing the annual renewal with a longer time horizon of 5 to 10 years. Examples include electric cars, geothermal heat pumps, and advanced biofuels.

A new report from the National Research Council examines and, when possible, estimates, “hidden” costs of energy production and use—such as the damage air pollution imposes on human health—that are not reflected in market prices of coal, oil, other energy sources, or the electricity and gasoline produced from them.

Lithium iron phosphate batteries are green, non-toxic, non-polluting, raw materials from a wide range of sources, and cheap. The actual specific capacity is low, with poor electrical conductivity, slow diffusion of lithium ions, and high times when charging and discharging. Energy storage equipment for solar and wind power generation.

We also think that with more people realizing that global warming is our greatest challenge, and that evolving the transportation sector to zero-carbon via cellulosic ethanol plug-in hybrids plus electricity from renewable sources may be our best strategy, the discussions about payback are a narrow answer to big questions.
