☆ Solar is growing faster than any electricity source as Big Tech seeks clean energy for data centers
  + stars: | 2024-06-19 | by ( Spencer Kimball Gabriel Cortés | Spencer Kimball | Gabriel Cortés | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +13 min
In 2023, Texas led the nation in solar installations on its power grid, surpassing California for its second consecutive year. Explosive power demand poses a challenge to the Biden administration's goal of converting the U.S. power grid to 100% clean electricity by 2035. Nextracker is a leading U.S. solar firm, building systems that allow panels to track to the position of the sun, improving the efficiency of solar power plants. Shugar pointed to the massive number of renewable projects in the U.S. seeking connection to the power grid. But as energy demand increases, the value of each additional hour should rise, eventually making longer duration batteries more cost effective, he said.

☆ How Apple made its first 'carbon neutral' product
  + stars: | 2023-10-06 | by ( Catherine Clifford | In Catclifford | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +4 min
In September, Apple announced its next-generation smartwatch models would all have a "carbon neutral" option, at the same price as the non-carbon neutral options, starting at $249. For Apple, making a product "carbon neutral" means that it changed its operations — including manufacturing, packaging and shipping — to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions associated with making and selling its watches. Depending on who you talk to, dubbing a product "carbon neutral" when the accounting requires buying carbon credits is either Apple acting responsibly and doing the best it can to contribute to climate mitigation strategies that are available right now, or an irresponsible misrepresentation of what "carbon neutral" should mean. The relative effectiveness of nature-based carbon credits is contentious because some forestry carbon credits have been shown to be nullified when, for example, the forests set aside for carbon credits burn in wildfire season. Even if the carbon credits Apple buys are of the highest quality, carbon credits are, by their very nature, an accounting strategy.
