‘Green’ Germany Prepares To Fire Up the Coal Furnaces
"Germany's plight is disturbing testimony of where you can end up if you commit yourself to a vision of a 'green' future that has no place in it for the most reliable source of clean-ish electricity. By contrast, neighboring France plans to build as many as 14 new nuclear reactors because of, not despite, its environmental goals."

Amogy Raises $46 Million in Funding to Accelerate the Commercialization of its Ammonia-to-Power Technology Across Heavy Duty Transportation
"Comparatively, Amogy’s solution leverages ammonia, an energy dense, carbon-free molecule, which is crucial to zero-emission heavy duty transportation. Moreover, because the chemical has been used industrially for more than a century, existing storage, handling, and delivery infrastructure is already in place globally, making ammonia an optimal fuel for long-haul trucking, locomotives, aviation, and shipping – so-called 'hard-to-abate' areas that have all proven difficult to decarbonize."

Wastewater recycling startup CEO says we need to overhaul our ‘flush and forget’ society
“'We are capturing all the dirty water that you would normally send into the sewer, and we’re turning that into clean water, into soil, and into recovered wastewater heat,' said CEO Aaron Tartakovsky. 'We are helping these buildings to recycle up to 95% of their water so that is 95% less fresh drinking water we have to pull in from the city supply, and we can instead recycle water right on site, right where it’s produced.'"

Europe Turns to an Unlikely Source to Replace Russian Energy: Ukraine
"Maxim Timchenko, DTEK’s chief executive, said that once the statcoms or batteries are in place, exports can rise slowly to 1.6 gigawatts a day, up from current deliveries of about 350 megawatts a day to Poland and Moldova, and that they could rise further if more power lines to Europe are restored. 'Ukraine can become one of the major suppliers of clean energy to the European countries,' he said."
