This week has seen various impactful stories in the renewable energy and climate change sphere. Most notably, high schoolers have successfully built a solar car capable of reaching speeds of 70 miles per hour. This innovation is testament to the possibilities of solar energy and its potential for transportation. Another significant story revolves around the increasing efficiency of electric vehicles, using only half the energy of gas-powered vehicles. This reiterates the importance of transitioning to greener energy sources for transportation. Additionally, a project in Duluth seeks to reuse warm water discharged from a wastewater plant to heat low-income neighborhoods, showcasing innovative and sustainable solutions for communities. Notably, the world's largest sovereign wealth fund in Norway is pushing major oil and gas companies to hasten the transition away from planet-warming fossil fuels, marking a significant shift in investment priorities. Amidst the positive strides, challenges persist, such as Southern California grappling with the impacts of powerful storms further exacerbated by climate change.
