Jason Plautz of E&E News reports on Wyoming’s leadership in renewable energy. “The onshore wind project supported by the TransWest line is projected to be the largest project of its kind in the country. The Chokecherry and Sierra Madre Wind Energy project, under construction near Rawlins, will host about 600 turbines on 1,500 acres of...
Matthew L. Wald writes in The Breakthrough Institute about emerging advanced nuclear reactors. “At the moment, the new reactors with the shortest path to commercial deployment look to be light-water reactors: they use fuel that is already commercially produced and most of their various components are already in production. Of the new light-water reactors, the...
"Beijing’s domination of critical minerals gives it the power to disrupt our daily lives and threaten our national security. Rather than drag our feet as China progresses, let’s work together to make a change."
"The LWCF supports the preservation of our country’s most cherished outdoor areas, and we are calling on the Department of Interior to move swiftly to implement a new 5-year offshore leasing program to protect the LWCF, and with it, the thousands of parks, pools, and recreational centers that allow us to enjoy the great outdoors in all its glory."
"Scratching through the big numbers, two issues deserve the world’s deeper understanding. The first is that China’s successful clean technology campaign has more to do with its economic strategy than its climate commitments. The second is that, alongside its impressive achievements in renewable energy, China is also one of the world’s biggest polluters. Neither is likely to change imminently."
"The breakthrough could lead to the scale-up of long-duration fluorenone-based flow batteries, which PNNL unveiled in 2021, according to PNNL. Flow batteries store energy in liquid electrolytes."
"For its part, TerraPower is developing a 345-megawatt sodium-cooled fast reactor coupled with a molten salt energy storage system. Founded by Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, the company has raised $750 million to build an operating demonstration reactor in Wyoming. TerraPower announced in December that it would delay the planned deployment of its reactor due to a lack of HALEU availability, in part because it has pledged not to use Russian-sourced uranium."
"Green ammonia is emerging as a potential enabler of the green hydrogen economy, as a sustainable fuel in maritime transportation and other applications, and as a replacement for synthetic ammonia in agricultural applications. With a market demand expected to almost double in the next 7 years and the quest for novel, sustainable production processes, it also presents a significant opportunity for venture investments."
"Too often, their work is made much more difficult — if not impossible — by far-left environmental groups who use strategic lawsuits to prevent forest management activities from taking place. It’s time that elected officials in the nation’s capital put an end to these abusive lawsuits or, at a minimum, roll back some of the worst impacts."
"Wyoming’s accessible permanent geologic storage and existing infrastructure and Colorado’s developing policy environment to 'evaluate the regulatory, economic, technological, and research opportunities in the carbon dioxide removal and direct air capture area,' are cited as driving forces behind the partnership."
