"Hydrogen has key advantages. One is that it can be used in modified versions of existing power plants and other machinery designed to run on coal, gas or oil. That will help countries avoid scrapping billions of dollars of legacy assets as they transition to a new-energy future."

Endangered species recovery requires flexibility, not strict regulations
"The success of conservation policy must be measured by its outcomes — not by the number of, or stringency of, regulations. The focus must instead be on supporting local conservation efforts that use some of the most effective species recovery tools we have: private citizens and American industry."
U.S. solar has largest first quarter ever
"New industry data shows the first three months of 2021 saw the addition of over 5 gigawatts of new U.S. solar power generating capacity, the largest first quarter ever."
Americans Know Energy Is Infrastructure
"Americans know what infrastructure is, and they know energy is central. Infrastructure affects everyone, everyone agrees it needs to be repaired, and everyone should have a stake in its success. President Biden and the Democrats would be making a huge mistake to try and shove yet another expensive, partisan spending package this summer in the name of infrastructure. It’s time for them to reach across the aisle and work seriously on behalf of America."
Biden’s Infrastructure Plan Confuses Costs for Benefits
"Despite the president's claim that his American Jobs Plan will be a generation-defining investment in the future, his administration remains committed to preserving outdated red tape that will inevitably impede whatever it ends up trying to build."
Republicans to unveil a GOP-only climate caucus
"The group will be open only to Republican lawmakers and will be used to share science and data about climate change, clean energy and jobs, according to three sources close to the effort. It's being spearheaded by Rep. John Curtis (R-Utah) and is expected to be unveiled in the coming weeks, with membership numbering about two dozen lawmakers."
As A Proven And Flexible Technology, Carbon Capture Can Help Enable Net Zero – If We Support It
"A breadth of solutions is needed to remove carbon emissions, such as hydrogen, sustainable bioenergy and various approaches to reducing and reusing the energy consumed in our homes, offices and factories. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) will play a significant role as well."
Why Carbon Capture Can Help Solve Climate Change
"If the CO2 emissions generated through the production of hydrogen can be captured and sequestered, hydrogen can be generated and used without CO2 emissions — a two-for-one proposition that could have a great impact on climate recovery."
Grid-Scale U.S. Energy Storage Capacity Could Grow Five-Fold By 2050
"Across all scenarios in the study, utility-scale diurnal energy storage deployment grows significantly through 2050, totaling over 125 gigawatts of installed capacity in the modest cost and performance assumptions — a more than five-fold increase from today’s total. Depending on cost and other variables, deployment could total as much as 680 gigawatts by 2050."
Building sustainable, high-performance data centers – a conversation with Jim Connaughton, CEO of Nautilus
"The partnership will help meet global data center needs with energy-efficient and water-conserving facilities which use 70% less power for cooling and eliminate the consumption of drinking water. The partnership will help to transform the environmental footprint of the data center sector and to close the digital divide by deploying to cities, rural communities, and developing economies around the world."
