High Costs and Few Benefits from California’s Proposed Sustainable Aviation Fuel Tax Credit This credit would reduce road funding, raise gasoline and diesel prices, and deliver small and expensive carbon emissions reductions. In California, road construction, maintenance, and repairs are …

California wants to subsidize sustainable aviation fuel. But when policies interact, the result may be higher gas prices, lost road funding, and small emissions gains

This chart shows annual hours of smoke-filled skies in Calgary from 1953 to 2023.

As the first wildfire smoke of the 2024 season blew in this week, it's hard to convey the sadness it elicited in a lot of folks.

There's a growing realization this is our new reality. And a genuine sense of mourning.
