there's been lots of drama at Air Products - the largest hydrogen company in the world - as of late. a successful shareholder revolt, a CEO ousting, you name it. the result is that the company is backing away from its once lofty clean hydrogen ambitions heatmap.news/climate-tech/a…

the House committee budget proposals released this week are very, very bad news for Tesla, which relied on selling regulatory credits (which are now set to go away) for ALL of its net income in the first quarter of this year heatmap.news/electric-vehic…

historically risk averse utilities are starting to turn to tools like AI-based platforms that can give insight into climate-related risks to utility infrastructure. rhizome just raised $6.5 million to further build out its grid analysis platform heatmap.news/sparks/rhizome…

the house preserved 45Q, the carbon capture tax credit, but without tax credit transferability, 45Q might not do really do all that much to help the nascent carbon capture industry at all heatmap.news/politics/trump…

i'm familiar with climate activist's opposition to direct air capture, but i rarely hear those concerns echoed by climate-focused investors. here i dig in with Tom Chi from At One Ventures on why he's steering clear of DAC heatmap.news/climate-tech/n…

with the AI race in full swing and tech companies awash in anti-trust legislation, clean energy is looking more like a vague preference than a priority for a group of tech giants that once loudly positioned themselves as climate champions heatmap.news/politics/micro…

microreactor company Radiant looks well positioned to be the nuclear company of the Trump admin's dreams, as it seeks to commercialize 1 mw microreactors for military bases and other remote outposts by 2028 heatmap.news/climate-tech/r…

America's ability to commercialize its fusion energy breakthroughs is seriously jeopardized by the current state of Republicans' IRA rollbacks. Great reporting by katie brigham

nuclear got a reprieve in the latest version of the budget bill, but the carveout that extends tax credit eligibility for new nuclear does NOT include fusion, which may now ~truly~ be on the verge of commercialization heatmap.news/climate-tech/o…

This is a great catch by katie brigham: Right now, the One Big, Beautiful Bill would cut off all tax credits for nuclear fusion — even though it’s likely to extend them for advanced nuclear fission and geothermal.

Of course, I'm not opposed to CCS or CDR. I'm not opposed to building transmission lines. I'm not opposed to building housing. I just have a very narrow and unworkable set of criteria that need to be satisfied for me to support it. Of course, we need it all though.
