The EPA has singled out two chemicals, PFOS and PFOA, as particularly harmful, stating in a press release Friday that "there is no level of exposure to these contaminants without risk of health impacts."

As financial safety nets collapse, regulators are letting insurers off the hook.

People are taking steps big and small to move the dial on climate change.

In a mossy stretch of forest on Washington state’s outer coast, streets and sidewalks have appeared in recent weeks.

Climate groups say the world needs to pull carbon dioxide from the sky and rapidly reduce oil production to hit climate goals. An oil company argues it can pull carbon instead of phasing out oil.

In a parking lot and on San Francisco Bay, NPR witnesses two different tests for solar geoengineering to tackle climate change. With much science unsettled, experts say regulations aren't keeping up.

The latest 5-year averages show that temperatures in Europe are running 2.3 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, compared to 1.3 degrees higher globally.

Contrary to the doom and gloom headlines about EVs, suburban drivers are loving their eco-friendly rides. No trips to the gas station? Sounds great. Cleaner air for their children and grandchildren? Very important.

Suburbanites are leading America's EV revolution, not the urban, youthful counterculture we tend to associate with social change. Early adopters are primarily wealthy, single-family homeowners who can power up on private chargers versus those in rental property garages. That's likely to continue: By 2030, 60% of EVs will be in suburbs compared to just 20% in cities and 20% in rural areas, according to the US Department of Energy (DOE).

IM motors has decided that semi solid-state batteries are ready for prime time. In an omen of what Western automakers will need to contend with, it's now launched a futuristic luxury coupe with a next-gen battery pack and crab-walking capability.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency on Thursday released a sweeping set of rules aimed at cutting air, water and land pollution from fossil fuel-fired power plants. Environmental and clean energy groups celebrated the announcement as long overdue, particularly for coal-burning power plants, which have saddled hundreds of communities across the country with dirty air and hundreds of […]

Homes and buildings are the second-largest source of emissions in New England, falling just behind transportation. Buildings emit around one-third of states’ planet-warming emissions. 

The Biden administration’s workforce development initiative aims to boost green employment options.

Oklahoma City and several other cities last year worked with NOAA to map neighborhoods to find out how heat impacts neighborhoods. The data can help cities prepare and adapt to a warmer world.

Coral reefs face a dire future as oceans get hotter. Scientists are breeding corals that can handle heat better, in the hope they can survive long enough for humans to rein in climate change.

Nuclear fusion could one day change the world by producing energy at lower costs than we generate it now — without greenhouse gas emissions or long-term nuclear waste. If we can get it to work. People have been promising nuclear fusion as a new, clean source of power for decades without much tangible success. But lately, billions of dollars from venture capitalists and tech entrepreneurs have flowed into the field. Science correspondent Geoff Brumfiel shares his reporting on some of the companies racing towards what could be the world's first commercial fusion power plants.

As work begins on building the US’s first high-speed rail service – linking Los Angeles to Las Vegas – analysts say the project could serve as a blueprint for similar projects across the country
