Honestly, I’m still getting used to an environment that isn’t such a positive one for climate technology. A recent announcement about climate tech hit me in much the same fashion. Over a dozen major projects in climate technology have gotten killed so far this year, as the nonprofit E2 tallied up in a new report last week. On Monday, the Big Green Machine team released a new update, one that Turner called “concerning.”Since Donald Trump took office on January 20, about $10.5 billion worth of investment in climate tech projects has progressed in some way. So by total investment, there’s been more bad news in climate tech than good news, according to Turner’s tracking.
