control sufficiently our burning of fossil fuels and face the growing possibility of<span style="mso-spacerun:yes" class="ContentPasted0">

North America. <span style="mso-spacerun:yes" class="ContentPasted0"> </span>The plant in Nova Scotia will be powered by wind and will produce 200,000 tonnes of hydrogen a year for export to the EU.

the fact of emergency. Meanwhile, the fossil fuel industry spins out tales of the destructiveness of renewables.

underway, and the Inflation Reduction Act has not even kicked in yet. <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2023/03/01/clean-energy-hits-record-us-2023-sustainable-energy-factbook/11324041002/" class="ContentPasted0">
