Warning: The world won't hit climate goals unless energy innovation is rapidly accelerated
on July 2, 2020 at 4:11 am
Solar and wind power are <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2020/05/28/business/coal-renewable-energy-solar-wind/index.html" target="_blank">booming</a>. Electric vehicles are so promising that <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2020/07/01/investing/tesla-market-value/index.html" target="_blank">Tesla is now worth more than ExxonMobil</a>. Coal is collapsing. And yet energy watchdogs are warning that <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2019/10/21/business/renewable-energy-solar-iea/index.html" target="_blank">not nearly enough is being done</a> to fight the climate crisis. The International Energy Agency sounded the alarm Thursday about the "critical need" to rapidly accelerate clean energy innovation. That's because the climate goals set by governments and corporations around the world depend on technologies that have not yet reached the market. "The message is very clear: in the absence of much faster clean energy innovation, achieving net-zero goals in 2050 will be all but impossible," Fatih Birol, the IEA's executive director, said in a statement. Major parts of the world economy don't have clean energy options as yet. Power companies are dumping coal in favor of increasingly affordable solar and wind power. And all the major auto makers are racing to develop the best electric vehicles to compete with Tesla. Yet there are few technologies available to bring emissions down to zero in areas such as shipping, trucking and aviation, the IEA said. The same problem exists in heavy industries like steel, cement and chemicals. "Decarbonizing these sectors will largely require the development of new technologies that are not currently in commercial use," the report said. And that is no slam dunk. It took decades to scale up solar panels and batteries to make them economical. And plenty of technologies failed along the way. "Time is in even shorter supply now," the IEA report said. 'Disconnect' between goals and efforts That's not to say progress isn't being made. Late last year, Heliogen, a <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2019/11/19/business/heliogen-solar-energy-bill-gates/index.html" target="_blank">clean energy startup backed by Bill Gates,</a> discovered a way to use artificial intelligence and a field of mirrors to generate extreme amounts of heat from the sun. The goal is to use that carbon-free sunlight to replace fossil fuels in certain heavy pollution industrial processes, such as making cement, glass and steel. Still, the IEA said there are "no single or simple solutions to putting the world on a sustainable path to net-zero emissions." About three-quarters of the cumulative reductions in carbon emissions to get on that path will need to come from technologies that have "not yet reached full maturity," the report said. For instance, while battery technology has evolved significantly, the IEA said "rapid progress" is required to transition battery prototypes to the world's long-distance transportation needs. Yet there isn't enough money being deployed by corporations or the public sector toward researching next-generation energy solutions. "There is a disconnect between the climate goals that governments and companies have set for themselves and the efforts underway to develop better and cheaper technologies to realize those goals," the IEA's Birol said. Pandemic deals blow to energy spending That disconnect, like so many others now, is being amplified by the pandemic. Although social distancing and health restrictions are causing carbon emissions to tumble, investment in energy is also falling sharply. Spending in the energy industry is expected to <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2020/05/27/business/iea-energy-investment-climate/index.html" target="_blank">plunge by a record $400 billion,</a> or 20%, this year, the IEA previously estimated. That slowdown in spending undermines efforts to develop clean energy solutions. At the same time, questions about the future of the economy, especially the energy and transportation sectors, will make it harder for startups to attract capital. Governments grappling with dual <a href="http://www.cnn.com/world/live-news/coronavirus-pandemic-07-01-20-intl/index.html" target="_blank">health</a> and <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2020/07/01/economy/june-jobs-report-preview/index.html" target="_blank">economic</a> crises may be tempted to divert money away from developing clean energy at exactly the wrong time. "Failure to accelerate progress now," the IEA report said, "risks pushing the transition to net-zero emissions further into the future."
This Upstate town is moving forward with its July 4th celebrations
on July 2, 2020 at 3:20 am
LIBERTY, S.C. (FOX Carolina) - Concerns swirling around COVID-19 have put some plans for the 4th of July on hold, but the town of Liberty is still moving forward with its festivities. Last year, 5,000 people took in the celebration, and mayor Brian Petersen says they're hoping to make this year even better, all while following recommendations from health officials, albeit without a mask requirement. “We believe if we’re taking all the prescribed methodologies to hand to protect our citizens the best that we can, and there’s also the freedom of choice and that’s why we all live in America is, we do get to make choices,” Petersen told us. Signs will be posted throughout the Liberty Athletic Complex detailing COVID-19 recommendations and urging for people to practice physical distancing. The town will also pass out 2,500 free masks, and touchless hand sanitizer stations will be located throughout. Gloves will also be provided and required for certain activities. "We will make sure that the right thing is being done to protect our citizens here,” Petersen said. The celebration is on Saturday, July 4, from 6 p.m. until 10 p.m.
Yancey County 911 lines will be unavailable Wednesday night
on July 2, 2020 at 12:57 am
YANCEY COUNTY, N.C. (FOX Carolina) - Yancey County residents will need to save a different phone number if they need emergency services Wednesday night. According to Yancey County E-911, the 911 lines will be unavailable from 10:30 p.m. until 2 a.m. This is because Frontier will be working on fiber lines, which affects the service. Yancey County residents can call the 911 offices by calling the administrative lines at (828) 678-9463. Some residents on the west side of Yancey County may see an outage with cell phones as well. If you can't call the 911 center, you're advised to go to the West Yancey Fire Department, where fire personnel will be stationed. Cell phones on the east side of town shouldn't be affected.
