2024 Climate Tech Companies to Watch: Gogoro and its battery-swapping network for electric scooters
Technology tamfitronics Electric vehicles can take a long time to charge up, and places to do so can be hard to find. Gogoro’s innovative technology offers a quick and easy way to swap drained batteries for charged ones at a growing number of stations worldwide. When a magnitude 7.4 earthquake rolled through Taiwan in April, it was the biggest to hit the island in more than a century. Hundreds of Gogoro battery-charging stations did something pretty amazing in response: They automatically powered down to reduce strain on the grid. That saved enough electricity to power thousands of homes until the grid came fully back online. And it all happened without human intervention, thanks to the company’s network of AI-powered battery-swapping stations located all over the island. A big challenge with...
Coming soon: Our 2024 list of 15 Climate Tech Companies to Watch
Technology tamfitronics The work these companies are doing is needed now more than ever. Global warming appears to be accelerating. The oceans are heating up faster than expected. And some scientists fear the planet is approaching tipping points that could trigger dramatic shifts in Earth’s ecosystems. Nations must cut the greenhouse-gas pollution fueling that warming, and the heat waves, hurricanes, droughts, and fires it brings, as fast as possible. But we can’t simply halt emissions without plunging the global economy into a deep depression and the world into chaos. Any realistic plan to cut billions of tons of emissions over the next few decades requires us to develop and scale up cleaner ways of producing electricity, manufacturing goods, generating heat and cooling, and moving people and stuff around the world. To do...
In election year, climate faith leaders urge voters to make environment a priority
Politics tamfitronics (RNS) — Only about 4 in 10 American voters say global warming will be “very important” when they vote for president in November, according to the Yale Center for Climate Change Communication. But while polls show voters are concerned with other issues, such as inflation and immigration, the environment continues to be a top concern for voters, especially younger ones, and crosses lines of faith and politics in ways that other issues don’t.“I think young people just want the issues that we care about, like our communities, our economy and jobs and God’s creation, to be taken seriously,” said Tori Goebel, the spokesperson for Young Evangelicals for Climate Action, founded in 2012.Goebel’s organization doesn’t endorse candidates and instead works to provoke more candid discussion on the topic. “We just want young people to...
