Energy & Climate
This section covers the business of energy and climate. We examine the latest trends in climate change and business sustainability in four sections: climate, energy efficiency, renewable energy, and clean tech. Articles focus on greenhouse gas emissions, business sustainability and carbon emissions trading.

As a reporter covering business and the environment, I don’t want to let the perfect become the enemy of the good. We should cheer, or at least politely applaud, the small changes that companies make to lighten their environmental footprint. But we ought not to fool ourselves into believing that incremental change is adequate to the tasks ahead—of slowing down climate change, dealing with water issues, or eventually making our economy sustainable.
-
BILLERICA, Mass. -- Millipore Corp. unveiled a goal on Wednesday to reduce its carbon footprint by 20 percent during the next five years.
