UK Power Grid Could Have First Commercial Fusion Reactor By 2030s

"'Fusion can offer low impact, zero carbon, effectively limitless energy produced through a triumph of science,' concludes Edelman. 'It can do this without the drawbacks of most other sources of energy...Fusion can make up the yawning gap between the energy we know we need by 2050 and the energy that we know can be produced in low and no carbon ways by 2050.'"

How a Canadian Small Reactor Will Support Industrial Decarbonization

"The ARC-100 is an advanced small modular reactor (aSMR) with a very simple design and small footprint, approximately 10 acres. It is a sodium-cooled fast reactor (SFR) which uses liquid sodium as a coolant instead of water. This allows the coolant to operate at higher temperatures and lower pressures than current traditional reactors which improves the efficiency of the system.  Our technology is an advanced reactor and meets the goals for Generation IV nuclear technology: improved safety, sustainability, efficiency, and cost."

Rural America Needs Permitting Reform

"As Chairman of the Congressional Western Caucus and Chairman of the Energy and Mineral Resources Subcommittee on the House Natural Resources Committee, we see the threat the Biden Administration poses to rural communities across the country, and we’re acting against it. If rural America is to continue producing the food, resources, and power our Nation depends on, the Senate needs to pass H.R. 1, and its permitting reform provisions now, before it’s too late."

Progressive Politicians Are Regulating Their Own Projects Into Oblivion

"A well-functioning marketplace requires rules—institutions such as property rights, an unhindered system of profit and loss, and a fair and stable law of contract. It also requires an abundant level of freedom within the confines of these institutions. Fundamentally, most government interventions into the market tinker with these institutions and hamper that freedom."

Mine waste finds new life as source of rare earths

"Australia's RMIT University estimates there are 16.2 million tonnes of unexploited rare earths in 325 mineral sands deposits worldwide, while the U.S. Idaho National Laboratory said 100,000 tonnes of rare earths each year end up in waste from producing phosphoric acid alone."

Texas regulators should consider a combination of metrics to establish reliability standard, stakeholders urge

"Utilities, system operators and regulators often rely on a 1-in-10 reliability standard that requires planning margins sufficient to ensure load shedding occurs only once in a decade. But power experts say this standard may no longer recognize the reality of today’s constrained electric grids, and requiring greater reliability means higher prices."

Type One Energy Raises $29M to Work on a Crazy Fusion Device

"Stellarator fusion devices rely on a pretzel-shaped torus of magnets to contain the plasma where fusion takes place. They have a design that’s strikingly different from, say, the giant tokamak that’s being built for the multibillion-dollar ITER experimental fusion reactor in France, or the laser-blasting device at the National Ignition Facility in California that recently hit an energy-producing milestone. Some have gone so far as to call stellarators the 'fusion reactor designed in hell.'"
