People who live in urban areas, cities, they expect their trash to be cleaned up and the sewer to work. People who live in rural areas often have septic and they have to operate them on their own. Catherine Colman Flowers: Shouldn't a septic system be built to at least last as long as a mortgage? Greg Dalton: On this climate one, we've been looking ahead at what lies in store for climate in 2023.
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.
