"Willow has earned ConocoPhillips scorn from environmental groups, who say the project will emit climate-warming greenhouse gases for decades. But it has found support among some Alaska Natives’ associations, local politicians and the Alaska delegation in Congress. Proponents say that Willow could generate local, state and federal revenue of up to $17 billion and create more than 2,000 construction jobs and 300 permanent jobs."
"'Because those are held out of the market, it’s 10,000 MW that consumers are paying for on their bills that are going to sit on the sidelines until we’re in a crisis,' said Michele Richmond, with Texas Competitive Power Advocates."
"If you support advancing and deploying innovative clean energy technologies, increasing our national and energy security, and advancing America’s energy leadership—all while reducing global emissions and mitigating climate change—then the Lower Energy Costs Act is a necessary step."
"'This is the kind of project we’ve been working towards for decades and fits with our overall climate focus,' said Battelle Energy and Resilience Division Manager Shawn Bennett. 'Direct Air Capture technology is an important bridge to a future that greatly reduces the amount of legacy carbon dioxide in our atmosphere. But in addition to that, Project Cypress will be developed to the benefit of the local community, maximizing local job opportunities for the energy transition.'"
"On Wednesday, Windfall Bio is revealing its mission to the public for the first time and announcing a $9 million round of funding from venture firm Mayfield, with participation from other investors, including Bill Gates’ Breakthrough Energy Ventures."
"Biochar is typically made through a process called pyrolysis where organic material is heated to a high temperature in a low-oxygen environment, creating a high-carbon material. Biochar was used historically to enrich soil, making it more fertile for crops."
"The bill, the work of three committees, would require the federal government to hold quarterly oil lease sales in Western states. It would speed up environmental permitting that GOP lawmakers complain drags on years longer than it should. The package would also allow for more hardrock mining in mineral-rich states like Minnesota and Idaho."
"As a country, we must move to prioritize nuclear energy as a reliable, abundant, and clean energy source in more than just rhetoric. The time is ripe for meaningful congressional action relating to nuclear."
"TerraPower Isotopes aims to bring a scalable solution to the precision medicine market. The proven production methods that TPI employs, along with the vital work of public and private partners, will establish a reliable supply of Actinium-225, and the delivery of this key isotopic starting material to drug developers. This enhanced Actinium-225 supply chain will enable the advancement of drug development trials and increase the research and deployment of advanced cancer treatment options."
"We can aid our allies by increasing energy exports to fill gaps in their supply chains, and we can fill our own shortfalls of critical minerals through public–private collaboration at home and strategic partnerships abroad. Reducing the vulnerability of our allies would discourage China and Russia from further adventurism. These actions would mitigate the risk of all-out conflict while ensuring economic and national security for ourselves and our allies."
