in solar power. the price of solar has dropped substantially in the last four years. and, some of that has been because we have subsidized solar. but, it s also been because the industry has figured out how to manufacture solar much faster and more efficiently. we also will need to find ways to draw co2 out of the atmosphere. and there are scientists working now on innovative way to draw carbon from the atmosphere. even the , says something like that is necessary. but right, now the capacity to do that is just way too expensive. and innovation is one step towards getting us there. craig walsh, thank you sir, appreciate it. when the lot. thanks so much. thank you for your time. shortages of everything from cars to smartphones, to washing machines and all because there weren t enough tiny computer chips. will congress just did me change everything.
fires, you are seeing more heat, more drought, less rainfall all in a packed force. and, that combined is helping to fuel more fires. heat waves can affect things in a lot of ways. you can see more fires with themselves, increase the likelihood of flooding. the yellowstone flood, which we saw rain coming on top of snow, which melted up the snow and cost floods and yellowstone. all of this has a climate component. you, know craig, until this week it looked like they were quite mentioning joe manchin was gonna block climate action. and what many say could be the last window for us to react without leaving more doubt and consequences. is there still enough time to avoid the worst? absolutely! and i think what ended up coming out this week with the legislation being proposed by mention of the democrats, as a potential step forward. if this deal passes, craig, it would put $370 in climate program and including key subsidies, and could slash u.s.
right? fires, i guess. to that fact, these fires have been happening within the last 10-15 years. you go back to 2003 and, all of a sudden, something happened. i wonder about folks who live in amazing spots like this, a great find in the 70s, when the fire like this was once in a lifetime. now, it is once every couple of years. do you see it changing the psychology of the folks in these wild places? it takes a special person come live out here. we just hope that if you do decide to live out here, you learn how to prepare yourself, prepare property, prepare emergency escape plan, create some defensible space. as you see here, this person did a great job clearing out some combustable vegetation from the fire. bill weir, cnn, california. though we are, thank you craig walsh, who was excellent
time to avoid the worst? absolutely. what ended up coming out this week with the legislations being proposed by manchin and the democrats is the potential step forward. if this deal passes, craig, it would put 370 billion dollars in climate programs, including key subsidies and it could slash u.s. emissions by 40% by 2030. how much of an impact with this make? that s huge. if you look at where we are heading without those kind of legislations, it is roughly half of that in emissions decline. we are moving more towards electric, electrify in the great with solar, wind, and electric vehicles. the problem is we aren t getting there fast enough. the only way to do that is with some sort of assistance. we need subsidies for consumers, you need subsidies for industries. this bill provides a lot of that. policy is usually important in fighting climate crisis. how important is it for us, as a
recorded. i ve got to tell you, every night this week, we have covered extreme weather from oppressive heat to fires from missouri to kentucky. we ve uncovered what happened with former, special cattle farmers. is all this connected to come crisis? it is. our ability to share these events to climate is improving by leaps and bounds. scientists are able to point to climate in many of these events within hours. the reality is that in forest fires, you are seeing more heat, more drought, less rainfall all impact forests. that, combined, is helping fuel more fires. heat waves can affect things in a lot of ways. you could see more fires and in themselves increase the likelihood of flooding. the yellowstone floods, we saw rain coming on top of snow which melted out the snow and caused floods in yellowstone. all of this has a climate component. craig, until this week, it looked like democratic senator joe manchin was going to block climate action in what many say could be the last windo
