Hawaii’s historic youth-led pollution lawsuit, Atlanta’s rapid adoption of an e-bike rebate program, and California's innovative mosquito control strategy. We also discuss Canada’s new anti-greenwashing law and China’s accelerated decarbonization efforts. Plus, listener mail from Tasmania.

  • Personal Updates: Brian shares his latest news and James recounts his experience storm chasing with his adult son.

Main Stories

  • Cummins Fined: Cummins faces a $2 billion fine for pollution violations.
  • Canada's Anti-Greenwashing Law: Canada passes a law to combat greenwashing, leading to the shutdown of Alberta’s oil propaganda war room.
  • Hawaii's Settlement with Youth: The state of Hawaii settles a lawsuit with 13 young plaintiffs, agreeing to decarbonize its transportation system by 2045.
  • China’s Clean Energy Surge: Recent data shows significant declines in thermal power generation and increases in solar and hydroelectric output in China.
  • California’s Mosquito Experiment: The state is releasing irradiated, sterile male mosquitos to combat population growth. What could go wrong?

Listener Mail

  • Tasmanian Listener: We hear from a listener in Tasmania, the Australian province known for its clean air and eco-tourism. Brian responds with insights into Tasmania's environmental significance.

Lightning Round

  • The UK's rapid transition away from coal power.
  • Wildfire risks for utilities operating without insurance.
  • The global solar industry’s record-breaking growth.
  • Innovative pilot projects integrating PV into noise barriers.

And Finally This Week

  • Atlanta’s E-Bike Rebate Program: A partnership between the Atlanta Regional Commission and Propel ATL aims to make e-bikes more accessible to moderate and low-income residents, with impressive early adoption rates.
