Join the San Francisco Environment Department, in partnership with the Yerba Buena Gardens Conservancy and Climatebase, for a day of sustainability, community, and action at the official kickoff event for SF Climate Week.

"OUSD's enrollment patterns reflect both student need and family choice and vary across Oakland, so facilities planning must go beyond utilization and attendance boundaries to account for equity, housing patterns, choice-driven enrollment flows, program location, facility quality, and capacity at local and regional scales."

The headline catalyst is a Front-End Engineering Design contract awarded to Plug Power to supply a 275 MW GenEco PEM electrolyzer system for Hy2gen Canada's 'Courant' project in Baie-Comeau, Quebec. This project will utilize low-carbon electricity from Hydro-Quebec to produce green hydrogen, which will then be converted into low-carbon ammonia and decarbonized ammonium nitrate for use in the mining and agriculture industries.

San Jose fire officials warned that lithium-ion batteries are highly toxic when ablaze due to 'highly irritating gases' like carbon monoxide.

As a result of these changes, engine and vehicle manufacturers no longer have any future obligations for the measurement, control, and reporting of GHG emissions for any highway engine and vehicle, including model years manufactured prior to this final rule.

Over there in LA, we're at about, like, $6 max, which is something that hits everyone like crazy. But here it's $10. I've never seen that, ever.

These aren't optional programs - these are investments approved by bipartisan majorities in Congress, and the President doesn't get to cancel them simply because he disagrees with them," Bonta told reporters Wednesday.

An all-electric, energy-efficient alternative to gas-burning furnaces, heat pumps are widely seen as the climate-friendly home heater of choice. They can do double-duty as both home heaters and AC units and are pretty good at maintaining a constant temperature inside a home without the blast-then-cool-off cycle typical of a furnace.

Researchers used satellite data to see how much nitrogen dioxide was in California's air between 2019 and 2023. As the number of electric cars and plug-in hybrids rose, neighbourhoods had lower NO concentrations. Everybody knows that electric cars don't emit carbon emissions because they don't burn any fuel. And while there are some studies out there that show how zero-emission cars can improve the quality of air in urban areas, they weren't always definitive.

"California's policies have slowed American commerce long enough," Rep. Randy Weber (R-Texas) said in a post on the social media platform X announcing the bill.

After experiencing one of the wettest holiday seasons on record, still soggy California hit a major milestone this week having zero areas of abnormal dryness for the first time in 25 years. The data, collected by the U.S. Drought Monitor, are a welcome nugget of news for Golden State residents, who in the last 15 years alone have lived through two of the worst droughts on record, the worst wildfire seasons on record and the most destructive wildfires ever.
