EPA emissions rules add to decarbonization tailwinds
A pathway in the proposal to decarbonization based on adoption of clean hydrogen as a fuel source at new and existing gas plants could also be a boon to the nascent clean hydrogen sector, noted Stan Meiburg, director of Wake Forest’s graduate program in sustainability. Given the lengthy development timeline for large-generation projects, Meiburg agreed that developers are likely to embrace the certainty associated with abiding by the rules while taking advantage of IRA incentives to implement the required emissions reduction systems.

Familiar battle lines over emissions plan
Duke Energy’s strategy aligns in some ways with the proposed new rules because the new gas-powered plants will also be capable of operating on clean-burning hydrogen, said Stan Meiburg, a former deputy administrator at the EPA who now directs Wake Forest’s graduate program in sustainability. “If you want to take a natural gas approach, this (proposed) standard says you can do that but you have to put in technology to control carbon emissions.”

Wake Forest graduates more than 2,000 at Monday’s commencement
Commencement speaker Kathy Killian Noe (’80), who has spent her life providing “radical hospitality” to people living in the margins, encouraged graduates to go out into the world and use their power for good.
“You understand that what gives purpose and meaning to life is not what we get, but what we give.

Is it true that ‘what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger’?
