Capitol News Illinois Article Summary Congress’ latest budget package slashed federal tax incentives for solar developments. Industry insiders said the latest federal policies create “a lot of uncertainty.” Illinois facilitates significant funding for the renewables industry, particularly for solar, which provides some insulation against the federal action. Still, advocacy groups fear energy prices will rise at a faster rate as the federal changes alter the trajectory of renewable energy production in the U.S. Industry groups are calling on the state to offer more incentives to renewables, notably battery storage. This summary was written by the reporters and editors who worked on this story. President Donald Trump and congressional Republicans earlier this month curtailed federal tax incentives for the solar energy industry and for individuals and companies that purchase solar panels. The move sent shockwaves through the industry nationwide, pulling key incentives for major projects and residential rooftop solar alike. But in Illinois, members of the industry say state policy gives a bit of cover. While they have seen a wave of business before Biden-era tax breaks sunset, solar companies are left with uncertainty in the long-term. Others fear Trump’s actions will drive up prices by slowing the pace of renewables entering the market as fossil fuels exit for economic reasons. The spending plan that Trump signed into law on July 4 will end several decades-old tax incentive programs between now and 2027. Those programs, which offer credits for rooftop solar systems and investment in large-scale projects, were expanded under the Inflation Reduction Act, a major initiative of former President Joe Biden. Trump followed the bill signing with a July 7 executive order aimed at quickly ending any subsidies for “expensive and unreliable energy sources like wind and solar.” Between the spending bill and the executive order, the federal government will also stop offering a tax credit for the manufacture of wind power components and instead offer a similar subsidy to the coal used in steel production. The new law also denies incentives to any projects that are owned by certain foreign entities or use a significant amount of supplies from those entities, like the Chinese government and its affiliated businesses. This is particularly difficult for battery storage and solar projects, which often rely on minerals and components mined in or manufactured in China. This leaves many consumer advocates and energy experts looking to Illinois to further insulate the industry, which is a key part of how the state plans to replace fossil fuel-generated electricity with carbon-free sources by 2045 as required by state law. Read more: Trump’s ‘big bill’ takes center stage in Illinois’ U.S. Senate race Energy price increase The bill will likely result in higher energy prices across the country, according to an analysis from the REPEAT Project, a joint research effort by Stanford Professor Jesse Jenkins’ Princeton Lab and Evolved Energy Research. A separate analysis from think tank Energy Innovation, whose CEO was a senior Biden advisor involved in drafting climate change-related legislation, links the cost increases to a reduction in the number of renewable power plants that will be built under the new law. This will affect electricity capacity markets directly as well as increase the wholesale price of natural gas due to the power sector’s increased reliance on it. Federal data indicates natural gas is currently used for about 17.3% of all electricity generation in Illinois. Estimates of the scale of the electric bill cost increase for a typical household vary. REPEAT pegs the increase at $280 per household per year by 2035 nationwide. Energy Innovation’s model suggests $170 annual increase by 2035 and $180 in Illinois. A spokesperson for the Citizens Utility Board, a consumer advocacy group in Illinois, echoed the sentiment and said ending the tax credit programs “is a gut punch to consumers and our economy.” Solar industry ‘uncertainty’ Jon Carson, the managing partner at Trajectory Energy Partners, said the law is another part of the “solar coaster” — an industry euphemism about the ups and downs of solar tax credits. This part of the coaster, Carson said, will result in less investment. “This change in law and the uncertainty from the president's executive order, it just means that less projects are going to get built in the short term,” Carson said. Carson, a longtime campaign and White House staffer under former President Barack Obama, founded Trajectory Energy Partners in 2017. “We fundamentally believe that this is a real bump in the road for solar, it's a bump in the road for individual projects, but that ultimately the United States needs more power, and it's going to come from wind, solar and battery storage,” he said, referencing three technologies Trump is against. Others in the industry have raised flags that the “bump in the road” may be more obtrusive for some companies. The investment tax credit that’s ending under the new law offers a credit of 30% of project costs, with an optional 10% on top of that if a project meets certain labor standards. A similar tax credit exists for both residential and commercial projects. Brian Haug, president of Oak Brook-based Continental Energy Solutions, said the credit is a “critical” part of Continental’s business model. “The investment tax credit is a perfect tool that we use to make these projects financially interesting for larger companies,” Haug said. Continental works on microgrids, rooftop solar and battery storage projects for commercial and industrial customers and claims to be the largest solar installer in the state. Solar installation companies, customers and individuals still have time qualify for tax credits at the higher, Biden-era rates. Eligible projects must commence construction within the next 12 months or be placed in service by the end of 2027, almost a decade ahead of what was outlined in the IRA. The rapid sunset has resulted in a short-term boom in requests for solar projects, according to Windfree Solar CEO Eric Heineman, whose Chicago-based company installs solar for commercial and residential projects. “We don’t know how it’s going to impact us in the long term. What we know in the short term is that we know we have buyers who have been dragging their feet, they’ve got proposals for years with us, and now they’re just coming out of the woodwork,” Heineman said. “They’re signing up left and right.” But even for projects started today, there’s not a guarantee they will receive any tax benefits from the federal government. Trump’s executive order signaled that his administration could revise guidance on what counts as the “beginning of construction.” Open interactive chart in new tab Illinois’ renewable haven Illinois has increasingly subsidized the solar industry in recent years, most notably through the 2021 Climate and Equitable Jobs Act, or CEJA. That state law significantly expanded programs like Illinois Shines and Illinois Solar for All, which provide incentives to individuals and solar developers. At a campaign stop while the Trump-backed spending plan was being considered in Congress earlier this month, Gov. JB Pritzker said Illinois’ policy wouldn’t be affected by the feds’ repeal of Inflation Reduction Act tax credits. “We put that bill together before the IRA was passed at the federal level, and so we anticipated that we needed to incentivize clean energy, and we did,” Pritzker said on July 2. Industry experts credit the state’s policies generally, and CEJA specifically, for positioning the Illinois solar industry well as Trump’s policies threaten solar broadly. Heineman, who was former Gov. Pat Quinn’s director of sustainability, pointed to the state’s solar renewable energy credit, or SREC, programs as a driving factor. “Our sales are our revenue. Sales are driven by SRECs. If we don’t have revenue, we go out of business,” Heineman said. “Illinois is more insulated than any other state in the country.” Heineman estimated that a typical solar project takes three years to pay for itself with current incentives. After the federal credit is repealed, it might take five years. Without state incentives, though, it could be as much as 10 years.

That bill, a version of which was considered in the spring legislative session, could also include regulations of data centers, which are a major contributing factor to decreasing grid reliability and increasing energy prices. Some environmental groups are using the federal spending plan as leverage to further push state lawmakers into supporting the initiative. Illinois Environmental Council senior policy manager Cate Caldwell said the state has “long led” on environmental issues and that lawmakers should act in their shortened October legislative session. “While this federal budget threatens to reverse that progress, Illinois can instead double down on its climate commitments and invest in real, bold climate solutions that modernize our grid, ensure energy-hungry data centers act as good neighbors, and deliver cost savings to hardworking families across the state,” she said in a statement last week. Hiccups in Illinois’ climate record  Despite the overall positive sentiments from the renewable energy industry and environmental lobby, the state has failed to live up to the promises it made in the Climate and Equitable Jobs Act, according to a report from the state’s auditor general. That audit report, released last week, found that the state’s Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity failed to properly implement requirements for at least four jobs or workforce programs outlined in CEJA, including ones aimed at finding jobs for people returning from prison and to help communities disproportionately affected by climate change and pollution. In the report, the Department acknowledged its errors and noted that it had hired someone to manage one of the programs in an interim capacity. A DCEO spokesperson said the department has made “substantial progress on key initiatives” since the audit was conducted, including approving grant recipients in many of the programs listed in the report and launching community-hubs for people seeking jobs in the renewable sector.   Capitol News Illinois is a nonprofit, nonpartisan news service that distributes state government coverage to hundreds of news outlets statewide.

C’est l’un des enjeux majeurs pour l’avenir de la bande de Gaza : la prise en charge des très nombreux blessés du conflit. Depuis octobre 2023, au moins 123 000 Gazaouis ont été blessés, 4 000 ont dû être amputés. Selon l'Unicef, plus de dix enfants par jour perdent une, voire deux jambes. Pourtant, il n'y a actuellement que neuf techniciens spécialisés dans la fabrication de prothèses et d’orthèses dans toute l’enclave. L’ONG Handicap international a ouvert fin juin un centre de fabrication de prothèses temporaires basé à Zawaida, dans le gouvernorat de Deir el-Balah. Au quotidien, les prothésistes doivent faire face aux bombardements israéliens, à la difficulté de faire venir du matériel, mais aussi au difficile tri des patients face à une demande de soin qui ne cesse d’augmenter.

Lightspring/Shutterstock Cada vez que ocurre una ola de calor, una inundación o una sequía, surge la misma pregunta: ¿es culpa del cambio climático? La ciencia de la atribución intenta responder esa pregunta, analizando cuánto ha influido el calentamiento global en un fenómeno específico. No se trata de afirmar que el cambio climático es el causante, sino de estimar cuánto más probable o más intenso se ha vuelto por las actividades humanas. Para hacerlo, los científicos comparan el mundo real con cambio climático y un “mundo alternativo” con una menor influencia antropogénica. Por ejemplo, el núcleo de altas presiones y las temperaturas de una ola de calor que afectó a España en 2018 fueron más intensos de lo que hubieran sido en el pasado. Igualmente, si una ola de calor de 40 ºC en Madrid antes ocurría cada 20 años y ahora cada dos, se puede decir que el cambio climático la ha hecho diez veces más probable. Atribución de la ola de calor de la península ibérica de 2018. Reconstrucción del evento (1-7 agosto 2018) en condiciones presentes (derecha; 1984-2017) y pasadas (izquierda; 1950-1983). Los contornos indican una altura geopotencial en 500 hPa (m) y el sombreado la temperatura potencial en 925–700-hPa (°C). Las líneas gruesas indican valores de referencia de la intrusión cálida. Tomado de Barriopedro et al. (2020), CC BY-SA Entre los fenómenos extremos, las olas de calor (y de frío) son los más fácilmente atribuibles al cambio climático porque contamos con buenos registros históricos, modelos capaces de simularlas y bases físicas para relacionarlas con el calentamiento global. En las últimas décadas, esta ciencia ha avanzado, y hoy podemos afirmar que algunas olas de calor recientes en Europa, Asia o Norteamérica habrían sido extremadamente improbables sin calentamiento global. Retos actuales Pese a estos avances, aún existen algunos desafíos importantes: Disponibilidad de datos: en algunas zonas (por ejemplo, en regiones vulnerables del sur global), los registros son escasos o de baja calidad, lo que impide analizar extremos, validar modelos y estudiar procesos. Se necesitan redes de observación más densas y precisas y plataformas abiertas para compartir datos, junto con formación y recursos en países en desarrollo. Modelos más realistas: algunos mecanismos relevantes para las olas de calor (por ejemplo, las interacciones suelo-atmósfera, los efectos urbanos o los procesos de pequeña escala, como la formación de nubes) no están bien representados en los modelos actuales, generando incertidumbres y sesgos. Se requieren modelos más realistas que integren escalas y establecer protocolos de evaluación basados en procesos. Comprensión de procesos: la variabilidad natural del clima y los factores regionales (aerosoles, deforestación, etc.) y locales (urbanización) modulan los efectos del calentamiento global y dificultan la detección de señales antropogénicas. Además, los patrones atmosféricos que causan olas de calor (por ejemplo, las intrusiones cálidas saharianas) podrían estar cambiando. Los eventos compuestos (como olas de calor y sequías) y aquellos con causas no solo climáticas (por ejemplo, incendios forestales) son especialmente complejos y podrían requerir metodologías específicas. Contexto y comunicación: cómo se define (región, duración) y analiza (cambios en frecuencia o intensidad) un fenómeno afecta a los resultados. Diferentes métodos pueden dar respuestas aparentemente contradictorias. Es esencial estandarizar los métodos de análisis y comunicar los resultados de manera clara y adaptada a diferentes usuarios, incluyendo información sobre incertidumbres. ¿Cómo podemos mejorar? Hasta ahora, la atribución ha sido una herramienta para concienciar sobre cómo las actividades humanas están alterando el clima. Pero para que influya en la toma de decisiones –por ejemplo, distribuir fondos tras un desastre o prevenir futuros desastres–, debe evolucionar. Esto supone avanzar hacia una atribución operacional, rápida, estandarizada y global, que pueda informar a gobiernos, medios y agencias de emergencia. El desarrollo de servicios climáticos (por ejemplo, la Plataforma Temática Interdisciplinar de Clima y Servicios Climáticos del CSIC) y las nuevas tecnologías basadas en inteligencia artificial (por ejemplo, el Proyecto H2020-CLINT) pueden ser clave. Para lograrlo, es importante adoptar un enfoque que combine evidencias de distintas fuentes (observaciones, modelos) y formas de analizar cada fenómeno. Algunos métodos estiman cambios en probabilidad con modelos estadísticos, otros usan características del evento para calcular cambios en intensidad y otros simulan cómo sería sin emisiones humanas. Cada enfoque responde a distintas preguntas, y cuando se analizan en conjunto ofrecen una imagen más completa y robusta. Por otra parte, es preciso ir más allá del fenómeno y analizar sus consecuencias. La atribución de impactos examina en qué medida los daños (muertes, pérdidas económicas) fueron agravados por el cambio climático. Una misma ola de calor puede causar muchas muertes en una ciudad y pasar desapercibida en otra mejor preparada. Por eso, es fundamental integrar datos climáticos con factores socioeconómicos, y desarrollar modelos interdisciplinares en colaboración con expertos y actores locales. En resumen, el cambio climático está haciendo que las olas de calor sean más frecuentes, intensas y duraderas. Gracias a la ciencia de la atribución, sabemos que muchos fenómenos recientes no habrían ocurrido o no lo habrían hecho con la misma severidad o frecuencia sin el calentamiento global. Se trata de una poderosa herramienta para entender cómo el cambio climático está afectando nuestras vidas y ayudarnos a planificar el futuro con políticas de adaptación y resiliencia más efectivas. Avanzar hacia nuevos sistemas de atribución integrales permitirá guiar la acción y justicia climática, el debate sobre pérdidas y daños atribuibles al cambio climático y la toma de decisiones frente a los impactos del calentamiento global.

Walkie talkie bat hasi da seinaleak ematen Zeraingo (Gipuzkoa) ostatuaren kanpoko aldean. «Trikuak badatoz!», aditu da bertatik. «Barkatu, zer dator hor, lasterketaren bat?», galdetu du emakume batek. «Ez, ez, espedizio bat!», zuzendu dio irribarrez Irune de la Maza Euskarabenturako koordinatzaileak. Hiru taldetan banatuta datoz jzioquitarrak, ohi bezala, abiadura desberdinetan: trikuak, kattagorriak eta erbiak. Handik gutxira, 16:00ak aldera hasi dira, tantaz tanta, kamiseta urdin eta laranjako kideak frontoira iristen. «Etxean bezala, inon ez» dio esaera zaharrak, baina badira egun gutxiren buruan etxe bihurtzen diren taldeak edo proiektuak ere. Euskarabentura da horietako bat, zalantzarik gabe, eta ekuatorera iritsi da dagoeneko espedizioaren zazpigarren aldia, Araiatik (Araba) Zerainerako etapa eginda. Beste hamabost egun beharko dituzte Getxora (Bizkaia) heltzeko. Oier Martinezek ezagun zuen gaurko abiapuntua, Araiakoa bertakoa baita. Iaz espedizioa herritik igarotzen ikusi zuen, eta aurten bertako kide bihurtu da, kamiseta laranja soinean. Lagun batekin batera eman zuen izena, baina hura ez zuten aukeratu, eta bakarrik joan da azkenean. Gustura dabil, halere. «Araiatik pasatu garenean egon naiz kontatzen ikusten ari ginen guztia zer zen. Eta, gero, bidean amarekin-eta gurutzatu naiz; jada agurtu ditut!», esan du. Lide Urrestarazu, Haizea Iturrioz eta Oier Martinez, Zeraingo frontoian (Gipuzkoa). ANDONI CANELLADA / FOKU Bidea luze samar egin arren, pozik dago Haizea Iturrioz. Etxetik gertu egingo du lo gaur, baina estera gainean, Itsasondokoa (Gipuzkoa) baita. «Burbuila moduko batean gaude hemen, eta gure ingurura bueltatzea pixka bat arraroa egiten zait. Gainera, hemen familia daukat, eta esan didate bisita egingo didatela». Bat dator Iturriozekin Lide Urrestarazu ere. Ordizikoa (Gipuzkoa) da. «Badakizu gertu zabiltzala, baina ematen du zure egunerokotik urruti zaudela, ia-ia mundu paralelo batean gaudelako». Bigarren aldiz da espedizioan, baina kamiseta urdinarekin, mediku moduan joan baita. Bere kasuan, ordea, bi asterako etorri da oraingoan, eta gaur du azken eguna. «Pena pixka bat ematen dit, baina banekien aurten horrela izango zela; era berean, polita da ikustea nola Atharratzen [Zuberoa] hasi, eta oinez Goierrira, etxera, iristen zaren». Etxeko erosotasunean lo egingo du gaur. Konfiantzazko giroa Etapa amaitu ondorengo minutuetan, deskantsatzen geratu dira espedizioko kideak, frontoian. Batzuk koloretako hariak hartu eta korapiloak eginez, eskumuturrekoak sortzen itxaron dute aterpetxeko uretan dutxatu arteko denbora, eta, besteek, berriz, zirkulu bat osatu eta atseden hartzen itxaron dute, lo kuluska egiteko baliatuz. Euskarabenturako parte hartzaileak, etaparen ondoren, atseden hartzen. ANDONI CANELLADA / FOKU Espedizioko errutinara ohituta daude dagoeneko, Iturriozek esan duenez. «Bai, hasieran pixka bat kosta egin zitzaidan egokitzea. Baina behin egokitzen zarela, bizkor pasatzen da. Dagoeneko pena pixka bat daukat, ez dut bukatzerik nahi». Ez baita etxeko ohea, ez baitira betiko lagunak, baina, aipatu dutenez, nabaritzen da dagoeneko bi aste igaro direla abentura hasi zenetik; 126 kidek parte hartzen dute, eta harreman sarea ari da pixkanaka estutzen. «Oraindik denak ez ditut ezagutzen, baina harreman onak egin ditugu; eta espero dut gehiago egitea!», azaldu du Martinezek. Beste hamabost egun ditu horretarako. Izan ere, hilabetez 24 ordu partekatzen dituzte espedizioko kideek, euskararen erabilera bultzatzeko helburuz, Euskal Herria ezagutu bitartean. Jendea «oso jatorra eta irekia» dela esan du Iturriozek, eta jendea ezagutzeko jarrerarekin joan direla guztiak. «Bai, eta bukatu eta gero espedizioak jarraitzen du, harremanek jarraitzen dute estutzen», ohartarazi die Urrestarazuk. Euskara da harreman horien ardatza, eta testuinguru soziolinguistiko ezberdinetako gazteak elkartzen dira Euskarabenturan; askok lehen aldiz dute euskara hutsean bizitzeko aukera. Errealitate erabat ezberdina da askorentzat; Iturriozi, adibidez, horretaz jabetzeko aukera eman dio. «Nire ingurua oso euskalduna da, eta egunero egin dezaket euskaraz. Baina ibili gara Iparraldean, Araban eta abar, eta asko harritu nau zer zailtasun dituzten ikusteak. Azkenean, euskaraz ikasi dute eskolan horietako askok, eta hortik kanpo ez dute erabiltzen». Aldiz, «erdiko puntuan» dago Martinez. «Araian, kalean barrena zoazela, batzuk badakite euskaraz, eta besteek, berriz, ez. Orduan, hori ere ez da guztiekin euskaraz egitea. Hemen badago jende bat hori egiteko aukera badaukana. Beste batzuek, aldiz, ezin dute inorekin euskaraz hitz egin». Guztientzako da espedizioa horretaz ohartzeko espazio bat, esperientzia horiek partekatzekoa. Eta etxean sentitzeaz ari direla, badakite gaurko afaria berezia dela. Zerainen urtero prestatzen baitiete herri afari eder bat, plazan, eta, espedizioan gutxitan bezala, mahai eta aulkietan jango dute. Badakite, jakin, gaurko afaria berezia izango dela. «Hori zen gaurko gure motibazioa!» esan du Martinezek. Eta, postrerako, berriz, Maddi Aiestaran eta Aner Peritz bertsolarien bisita izango dute. Gaur, hortaz, etxean bezala afalduko dute. Etxetik gertu edo etxetik urrun, baina etxean bezala, Euskarabenturan.
