The technology is booming in New Zealand and now companies, like Halter, are expanding in the U.S. Similar to electric dog collars, the cattle will hear a beep and feel vibrations when they approach the invisible lines Anson draws on the app. If they don’t turn back, they’ll get a small shock.

Energy Independence: this idea is wrapped around the promise that America can stand apart from global uncertainty by running on its own bountiful resources, immune to worldwide instability and to the control of oil-rich autocracies. Here is the uncomfortable truth: energy independence is a complete myth.
Efficient permitting isn’t a partisan luxury – it's a national imperative. As our nation confronts rising energy demand, aging infrastructure, and growing pressure on our natural lands, the question is not whether we should reform our permitting processes; it’s how quickly and boldly we will.
Economist Thomas Sowell once stated, “There are no solutions. There are only trade-offs.” Nowhere is that clearer than in debates over climate policy, where enthusiasm for low-carbon technologies frequently outpaces planning for their long-term consequences.
The West’s push to build a home-grown magnets supply chain to reduce its reliance on China – led by massive U.S. backing for Nevada-based MP Materials – is running into a critical problem: the scarcity of so-called heavy rare earth elements.

In the small town of Brigham City, there’s one word you would never expect to hear: nuclear. “My initial, initial thought was: ‘Brigham City? Like, of all the places?’” said resident Connor Bennion. On Monday, Governor Spencer Cox and Brigham City leaders announced that two nuclear companies will be working together to build a nuclear power...
Australia’s remote Indian Ocean outpost of Christmas Island has enough power to support a new Google data centre without depriving locals, but its arrival could spur a push to renewable energy, the island’s biggest employer and the tech giant said. Alphabet’s Google announced on Monday it will build a data hub on the tiny island...
As politicians and philanthropists shift their attention to other global issues, many journalists and scientists continue to sound the alarm about climate change.
