*Which U.S. Cities Are Safest From Climate Change?*
Apr 21, 2022  Climate havens or climate destinations are cities that are 
situated in places that avoid the worst effects of natural disasters and 
have the infrastructure to support a larger population. Many of these 
legacy cities are in the U.S. Northeast. Watch the video to see where 
Americans can move to avoid the risk of wildfires and flooding from 
rising seal levels, and learn how these destination cities can translate 
climate migration into an economic triumph.

Millions of Americans are living in communities with precarious climate 
conditions, in houses that feel overpriced.
There is a solution for many of these people, though: Move to one of the 
so-called climate havens.

Climate havens or climate destinations are situated in places that avoid 
the worst effects of natural disasters and have the infrastructure to 
support a larger population. Many of these legacy cities are located in 
the Northeast.

Jesse Keenan, associate professor of real estate at Tulane University, 
named the following cities as possible climate havens:

    Asheville, North Carolina
    Buffalo, New York
    Burlington, Vermont
    Detroit, Michigan
    Duluth, Minnesota
    Madison, Wisconsin
    Milwaukee, Wisconsin
    Minneapolis, Minnesota
    Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
    Rochester, New York

Anna Marandi, who served as the program manager of climate resilience 
and sustainability at the National League of Cities, added four other 
places to the safe haven list: Ann Arbor, Michigan; Charleston, South 
Carolina; Chico, California; and perhaps surprisingly, Orlando, Florida.

Orlando makes the cut, Marandi said, because the city has introduced 
measures to decarbonize. While the natural environment, such as being a 
noncoastal city, is an advantage, cities can “earn” the designation by 
working to provide benefits like affordable housing and being committed 
to economic sustainability.

“I see climate migration as an opportunity for these cities to avoid the 
mistakes of urban sprawl,” Marandi said. “They often have a vibrant, 
walkable downtown that might just need a little bit of revitalization.”

Keenan also stressed that climate haven cities need to help their own 
residents, which in turn will attract more climate migrants.

“This isn’t we’re going to build a community for tomorrow,” he said. 
“We’re going to build a community for today. And that’s going to be the 
foundation for the building of a community for tomorrow.”

Correction: Anna Marandi at the National League of Cities added two 
other places to the climate haven list: Ann Arbor, Michigan, and perhaps 
surprisingly, Orlando, Florida. An earlier version misstated the cities.

Apr 21, 2022  If the world is getting too hot, why not give it some

*Zinc Bromide GEL batteries. Cheaper, greener, simpler & safer than 
lithium -ion!*
Jun 5, 2022  Energy storage is becoming an increasingly crowded market 
which, at least at utility scale, is still dominated by lithium-ion 
technology. But cheaper, greener and safer alternatives are being 
developed all the time. One of the latest candidates uses well 
established zinc-bromide chemistry but with a completely new twist, all 
wrapped up in very inexpensive and easily recyclable packaging from 
existing battery production lines. Very clever!

/[The news archive - looking back - at immoral sabotage ]/
/*June 7, 2010 */
June 7, 2010: Washington Post writer Ezra Klein condemns Sen. Lisa 
Murkowski (R-AK) for her proposal to strip the EPA of its authority to 
regulate carbon emissions.

    *With friends like Lisa Murkowski, the climate doesn't need enemies*
    If you were to zoom out on the BP oil spill and try to draw some
    lessons about prevention, you'd probably come up with these:
    Continued reliance on fossil fuels carries costs that travel far
    beyond what we pay at the pump. Things that will eventually go wrong
    do go wrong, and lack of planning makes the eventual catastrophe
    much harder to solve. When regulators can't, or don't, do their
    jobs, bad things happen. And finally, prevention is better, safer
    and cheaper than cleanup.

    But that's not what Sen. Lisa Murkowski has taken away.

    Murkowski plans to offer a resolution barring the Environmental
    Protection Agency from regulating carbon emissions. In other words,
    Murkowski plans to offer a resolution making it less likely we move
    away from fossil fuels, making it less likely we act to prevent a
    foreseeable catastrophe (in this case, global warming) from
    occurring, blocking regulators from doing their jobs, and disrupting
    one of our best opportunities to prevent climate change rather than
    scramble to respond after its incalculable effects rip through our
    atmosphere.

    Murkowski says that her effort is much simpler than all that. “My
    decision to introduce this measure is rooted in a desire to see
    Congress – not unelected bureaucrats – lead the way in addressing
    climate change," she wrote. But Murkowski has not led the way in
    addressing climate change. She has not joined with Lindsey Graham,
    Joe Lieberman and John Kerry in their efforts to negotiate a
    bipartisan climate bill. And as everyone involved in climate-change
    politics knows, congressional action is much likelier if backed by
    the threat of EPA action. As Graham told me, preempting the EPA is
    one of the major deliverables to get both Republicans and business
    groups on board.

    Bar the EPA from acting and you make it less likely that Congress
    will act. The calculus is as simple and straightforward as that.
    Murkowski, a crucial Republican vote in a closely divided Senate,
    could usher climate-change legislation to completion. Instead, she
    is working to delay action on our addiction to fossil fuels and the
    terrible and foreseeable consequences. Just ask the residents of the
    gulf how well that tends to work out.
