Cleaning up the minerals we need for clean energy, record-breaking carbon pollution, and how each of us can scale clean energy adoption--this week's newsletter connects the dots between science, policy, and action.

🌱 Nickel, but make it low-carbon! Scientists in Germany have developed a new way to extract nickel, cutting emissions by 84%—a major step forward for the clean energy supply chain.

📈 Another year, another record (and not the good kind). CO₂ levels at Mauna Loa just surpassed 430 ppm for the first time in recorded history—as, just last week, the new US budget defunds the entire national greenhouse gas monitoring network.

☀️ Could your property help power the future? Leasing rooftops, parking lots, or open land for solar energy can be a win-win for climate and your organization's wallet. It's worth finding out if your property qualifies.

We can’t fix climate change alone—but we can, together. Now, more than ever, we need to share what we know with others, so they too can be part of the solution.
