Felicia Marcus, a visiting fellow at Stanford University's Water in the West program: Dam removal is a big deal. She says there are also important dialogues going on to get hydropower operators and river rafting groups talking about managing resources better. "I see this whole looking at more nature-based solutions or living more in harmony with nature as an enormous movement that's getting some steam," she says.
2022 was a banner year for climate – both in terms of climate-fueled disaster and historic federal investments in clean energy, electric vehicles and home electrification. The questions now: How will the programs be implemented ? How will the money be spent – and who will benefit? This week, we examine the coming trends in raw material prices, the impact of the Inflation Reduction Act, new investments in clean tech, tighter rules on pollution and western water negotiations.
