Is Electricity Deregulation the Key to Reaching Net Zero?

Written by

Countries with deregulated energy include the U.S., England, Wales, Portugal, and many more. By enabling consumers to choose their electricity supplier — a concept known as a market system — people can select greener options. But will they? Dig deeper → 3 min

How Insurers Really Impact the Climate Crisis

Whether an insurance company offers worker’s compensation or property coverage, it’s arguable each insurance entity has a responsibility to combat the climate crisis.

How VOCs impact human health and environment
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are emissions from ordinary household goods. Sources include paint, cleaning products, gasoline, and flooring. Side effects depend on the amount of exposure and VOC concentration in the room. Long-term exposure can lead to liver and kidney damage and problems with the central nervous system. Experts are concerned with VOCs in the air because they form ground-level ozone during reactions with nitrogen oxide. Some products are more friendly to humans and the environment because they reduce the impact of VOCs. Dig deeper → 5 min

Why Aren’t Electric Vehicles More Popular in the US?

Written by
why aren't electric vehicles more popular
Electric Vehicles (EVs) are a sustainable option for transportation in America, but why are there so few on the highway? How long will it take for them to become prevalent? Key highlights of the current EV market: America sold 7 million EVs in 2021, but EVs are only 1% of all cars in the U.S. Domestic manufacturers like Chevrolet, Dodge, and Ford have unveiled plans for popular models to turn electric. Buyers are hesitant to buy EVs because of price, charging stations, and driving range. Some experts predict EV sales will outpace gas-powered vehicle sales by 2040. States like California, New York, and Washington have already set deadlines to ban the sale of gas cars by 2035. Dig deeper → 4 min
