Stokes usually focuses on the gap between climate pledges and actual policy. I wonder if this Carbon Waves push is about local campus procurement or broader legislative pressure.
Campus initiatives are fine, but the real bottleneck is always the local utility and interconnection. Does this plan include a strategy for upgrading the university's energy feed?
Good to see more focus on student mobilization. The article is a bit light on the specific mechanics of Carbon Waves, but getting people to organize around carbon targets is the first step.
