Shares of geothermal developer Fervo Energy soared in their public-market debut, a sign of investor appetite for energy companies as the U.S. faces record amounts of new power demand. Fervo’s stock climbed 35% to $36.54 from its $27 initial public offering price. It trades on the Nasdaq under the ticker FRVO. The details Houston-based Fervo uses...
California just gave plastic producers until 2032 to make all their packaging recyclable or compostable — the most ambitious deadline in the country. Advocates say it doesn’t go far enough. Producers say it goes too far. At least one of them is threatening to sue. The sweeping regulations, finalized at the start of the month,...
The Trump administration on Monday said it would repeal a Biden-era rule that allowed public lands to be leased for conservation purposes, abandoning an effort to protect millions of acres from both industrial development and the effects of climate change. The rule, issued by the Bureau of Land Management, had prioritized the use of federal...
After decades of stalemate over what to do with radioactive waste from nuclear power plants, the U.S. Department of Energy is hoping states can be convinced to take in some of that used fuel as part of a broader effort that could include advanced industries, power generation, data centers — and the promise of long-term...
Politicians—especially those facing reelection this year—are starting to hammer the energy affordability debate once again. There’s often a disconnect between political discourse and reality. But in the case of energy affordability, the data tells us that perhaps there is less hyperbole in these debates than usual. The following chart shows the change in prices for residential electricity,...
When I came to Congress, I was committed to giving farmers, producers, and working families a seat at the table and delivering results for those who make Iowa’s 4th district a strong and productive community. Serving one of the largest agricultural districts in the nation, I kept a clear goal: pass a strong, comprehensive Farm...
I didn’t come to the Senate from politics — I came from the field. I started as an engineer in Oklahoma’s energy sector and eventually led a company building and maintaining critical infrastructure.

In the coming months, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will finalize a slate of rulemakings that, taken together, represent the most consequential overhaul of America’s nuclear regulatory framework in nearly 70 years. The modernizations will address many significant regulatory cost drivers that have disadvantaged advanced nuclear energy as a reliable, emissions-free, dispatchable source of power. For nuclear energy to be a viable option, it needs to work for the American taxpayer and ratepayer. The NRC’s reforms give all forms of nuclear power a better shot at doing so.
The chemicals industry, which accounts for about 5% of global emissions, can seem like a black box. Fossil fuel-based feedstocks go in and out pop plastic toys or agricultural fertilizer or laundry detergent. But most of us don’t understand what happens in between. That’s the part of the supply chain where Trillium Renewable Chemicals is...
On 5 January 2026, the skies of Yibin were briefly darkened by the S2000 Stratosphere Airborne Wind Energy System (SAWES) – a buoyant air turbine (BAT) measuring 60m in length, 40m in width and 40m in height (197 × 131 × 131ft). The helium-powered platform rose to around 2,000m (6,560ft) in 30 minutes, generating 385kWh-hours (kWh) of power...
