The US and Israeli governments will jointly invest in energy projects and technologies that will be used to reduce carbon emissions, the [Israeli] Binational Industrial Research and Development Foundation (BIRD) has announced. The new funding cycle will focus on carbon-free technologies that reduce carbon emissions as part of an effort to address climate change and the global climate crisis.

Quote: ” ‘BIRD can assist US and Israeli companies and universities in their search for potential partners,’ Limor Nakar-Vincent, deputy executive director for business development at BIRD, said. The US and Israel will invest up to $1 million per project, BIRD stated.”

NAME THAT ISRAELI

This Jew died in 1923, so strictly speaking he was not an Israeli; however, he was instrumental in the eventual establishment of Israel. On hearing Theodore Herzl’s plans for creating a Jewish state, he is said to have declared, “If you are insane, we are insane together. Count on me!” Herzl and he are credited with founding the modern Zionist movement. A thoroughfare in Tel Aviv is named after him.

Can you name him?
