Carbon credits: boring af but some operators are doing $10M+/year as brokers.
Forced buyers (companies with ESG mandates) + constrained supply = actual arbitrage.
Everyone’s arguing if it’s “real” while a few people are just taking 20% spreads.

The construction, called Project Helios, will see a solar farm installed in the Maitland Strategic Industrial Area, which will provide electricity to a hydrogen plant adjacent to the Project Ceres urea plant via APA's proposed transmission lines.

Crazy how many CA leaders are still huffing hydrogen even after Trump turned off the tap on the H2 federal money gravy train. It kinda made sense with the IRA/IIJA in place, but not now with data centers and our mad king throwing every policy lever against green energy.
NCTD's CEO defends hydrogen trains and claims that catenary:
- has same fuel cost issues as H2 (fact check: green H2 uses 3x more energy; NCTD's H2 prices went up 160% recently)
- is unsafe in fire zones (H2 is more explosive than fossil gas)
- has visual impacts

Creating local energy markets would make it easier for households and businesses to buy power from local, renewable sources.
This would make new community renewable energy businesses viable, helping to cut carbon emissions and potentially lower energy bills too.
