One reason for decarbonization journey's complexity is due to the diverse key roles and their relationships. Understanding their contributions provides insight into where the bottlenecks will occur as we decarbonize.

Having a feel for how much electricity is expected from solar and wind power and how much land it requires makes you better informed in participating in discussions about or perhaps contributing to the implementation of solar and wind power.

There's been a significant amount of talk about the urgent need for more transmission lines recently with the infrastructure initiatives. There are two driving factors behind the talk...

Much can be learned from podcasts and there are plenty out there on energy, climate change, and decarbonization.

We need to put a portion of the decarbonization urgency behind the development and implementation of capturing carbon dioxide technologies sooner rather than later.

Every topic discussed - by technologists, economists, politicians, activists, deniers, lawyers, bureaucrats, and even people that don't know what they are talking about - leads back to a component of the carbon cycle.

In simple terms, decarbonization has two basic components:
- The elimination of producing CO2 from fossil fuels
- The removal of excess CO2 already in the carbon cycle

Numbers. When talking about decarbonization, there are lots of numbers. And they pertain to all aspects in the decarbonization journey- technology, economics, politics, and regulation. How do you know the numbers are accurate? How do you know if they are true? Who can you trust? It's important to know where the data is coming from.

Climate, Weather, and Climate Change…what’s the difference?

Decarbonization is an extremely complex goal to achieve. It will come from disparate actions from the various facets that will make mistakes along the way, course adjust, and accommodate when faced with the critical need to integrate.
