"The first and most immediate step is to prioritize North American oil production over imports from less desirable suppliers. Permian Basin shale oil can be brought online quickly to substitute for the absence of Russian oil on global markets. Alongside the obvious security and economic benefits to the West, the oil-and-gas industry has the opportunity to ensure the Permian is the cleanest hydrocarbon source in the world."
"We can support further development of renewables in Europe and America, and we must continue investing in research and development for innovative technologies, not just for our country, but to export to our allies to help them lower global emissions. In the meantime, we must be practical; renewables are not yet advanced enough without long-term energy storage capabilities. We should be investing in all homegrown energy sources today for tomorrow’s use."
"According to ABF, the company’s batteries will perform at least 10,000 discharge cycles with a 20-30 year lifespan. The products will be designed for storage systems on the utility- and residential-scale level, as well as military uses and certain large electric vehicles like trucks, buses and trams."
"By investing in the next generation of clean technologies at home, we can bring reliable and cost-efficient clean energy to all corners of the globe and enable nations to build the net-zero economies of tomorrow."
"For years, companies have been trying to harness this process to provide practically limitless sustainable energy here on Earth. Now, Tokamak Energy says it has brought us one crucial step closer to achieving this goal."
"America’s only high-grade nickel mine is in Michigan, and it’s expected to exhaust deposits in 2025. Other proposed mines in northern Minnesota are opposed by green groups. The Biden administration has slowed permitting for mining lithium (Nevada), copper (Alaska, Arizona, Minnesota) and antimony (Idaho)."
“'From a 30,000-foot level, I think there’s a lot of half-truths out there,' said Nick Loris, a vice president at C3 Solutions, a conservative firm that lobbies for climate policy and clean energy policy."
"We set ourselves apart from other companies because our proprietary process produces a cost-parity product which is identical in every way to conventionally produced Portland cement and we do not rely on costly carbon capture and sequestration."
"Right now, the operational range for Seatrec’s batteries is limited to the two-thirds of the ocean that experience a temperature difference of 5-10 degrees Celsius between its surface and its depths. That excludes most of the Arctic and Antarctic, as the water is always cold from top to bottom."
"Loris says that the Biden administration isn't entirely to blame for the high energy prices but that it could help ease prices in the longer term by changing course on its anti-fossil fuel policies, pointing to the president blocking the Keystone XL Pipeline and halting new federal land leases as moves that created further uncertainty in energy markets and discouraged investment."
