Environmental Impact

Environmental impact is the mark we leave on nature—from pollution to resource use. Understanding it is the first step toward a greener future. 🌍♻️

Energy regulation: The rules of power

Carbon capture is like a coffee filter for the planet—trapping CO₂ before it can heat up our world. From high-tech smokestack filters to nature’s own photosynthesis, here’s how we can clean up past pollution, prevent future emissions, and turn a climate problem into a resource.

Coal: The hero and the villain

Coal’s story isn’t just about energy—it’s an epic rise and fall. Once hailed as a savior of progress, this black rock powered cities and built empires. But behind the smoke lies a darker legacy. Join me as we uncover the truth about coal—its power, its peril, and its place in our future.
