“The technology developed and patented by the UPV and CSIC is based on the phenomenon of the microwave reduction of solid materials. This method makes it possible to carry out electrochemical processes directly without requiring electrodes, which simplifies and significantly cheapens its practical use, as it provides more freedom in the design of the structure of the device and choosing the operation conditions, mainly the temperature."

For a Climate-Concerned President and a Hostile Senate, One Technology May Provide Common Ground
"‘If you look at wind, that was the result of a whole bunch of different, really aggressive policy actions,’ said Rich Powell, executive director of ClearPath, a nonprofit that advocates for conservative clean energy policies. He noted that a combination of federal tax breaks and renewable electricity standards at the state level drove down the cost of wind over decades, and that the same has happened for solar over the past 15 years. ‘We're only seeing the beginnings of all those things for carbon capture.’"
How Hydrogen Is and Isn’t the Future of Energy
"The long-term solution to slow global warming is therefore to electrify everything, as long as that electricity comes from renewable sources. Aye, there’s the rub. We simply can’t run everything on electricity.
Balancing nitrogen between food production and climate change
“It is very clear that only a joint view of organic carbon and nitrogen management will provide the synergies needed to address both food security and climate change. These goals can only be delivered in an effective way by working from the ground up, starting with those who manage the land and providing the site-specific and dynamic information systems that allow a systems view of soil health management. In our opinion, only a joint platform to address the carbon-nitrogen nexus in soil health management will accomplish that.”
Climate change had mixed showing in 2020 elections
“The more climate change was on the agenda, the more it drove up votes in blue states, but it worked against Democrats in purple states, in battleground states,” said a former Obama administration official who spoke on the condition of anonymity given tense intra-party divisions."
Ditch Paris—and Save America
“By one estimate based on a U.S. Energy Department model, the Paris Climate Accord could have cost the average family of four over $20,000 in lost income, raised household energy prices by as much as 20 percent, and cost the economy $2.5 trillion by 2035.”
The 2020 Election was a Rejection of Excess
Voters said no to the ideological excess of progressives and the individual excess of Trump
Nuclear energy is a critical investment
“When it comes to making the hard choices over how best to invest taxpayer dollars, ensuring that America is a global leader in advanced nuclear power is a critical and responsible investment. With all the talk of the radical 'Green New Deal,' it’s shocking to see nuclear energy pushed aside by some on the left even though it is carbon free electricity.”
DOE Accomplishments Pushing American Economy to New Heights
“The energy sector accounts for eight percent of our national economy. But as I often remind people, energy is the first eight percent. Energy forms the foundation for every other sector of the economy. We cannot support the robust, growing economy that marked the past several years – and that will pull us out of the hardship associated with the pandemic – without a dynamic energy sector.”
Lights Out (for the Good of the Planet, of Course)
“Learning to live with whatever may be [climate change]'s effects doesn’t imply abandoning efforts at mitigation, but it does mean rejecting a Zimbabwean model, which will be as destructive as it is pointless.”
