Texas is proud to be the energy capital of the world, producing nearly half of American crude oil and more wind and solar than any other state. Today, Texas is poised to dominate yet another new renewable energy source: hydrogen. This new energy frontier has the potential for billions of dollars in economic and environmental benefits for...
Decarbonising the steel industry is one of the massive challenges in meeting climate goals, but could end up being extremely profitable for companies and governments prepared to take the risks. The steel value chain accounts for 7% to 9% of global carbon emissions, the largest single industrial contributor and thus a prime target for the...
Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) and remote sensing technologies are reshaping how global agriculture addresses food security challenges. A recent study introduces a Bayesian Probabilistic Updating Model (BPUM) that leverages historical data and real-time satellite imagery to enable early crop identification with high accuracy. This innovation signals a paradigm shift in how agricultural stakeholders can manage...

Nuclear energy holds immense potential to meet growing energy demands, and researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory are working on a breakthrough technology that could revolutionize the recycling of nuclear fuel and other valuable materials. Their research focuses on a smaller, more localized approach to recovering uranium, transuranic elements, and...
The Supreme Court appears poised to keep at least some Clean Air Act disputes in federal courts outside of D.C. — preventing what at least one justice described as “home court advantage” for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The justices heard a pair of cases on Tuesday about whether certain Clean Air Act disputes should be heard...
The world needs more energy. Whether delivering electricity to a community in Africa for the first time or powering the data center revolution, energy access is essential for human flourishing. While many global politicians and business leaders talk about an energy transition, economic reality demonstrates that the world is headed for an energy expansion. We need energy of all kinds—above and below the ground.
South Korea and the United States have reportedly reached an understanding to remove South Korea from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)‘s “sensitive countries and other designated countries list” (SCL). Sources revealed on March 21 that South Korea, as a long-time ally, argued for its removal to ensure continued cooperation in nuclear energy and scientific...
“Under President Trump’s leadership, the Department of Energy is taking critical steps every day to help American families prosper,” DOE Secretary Chris Wright said in a statement. “By removing burdensome regulations put in place by the Biden administration, we are returning freedom of choice to the American people, ensuring consumers can choose the home appliances that work best for their lives...
America stands at an energy crossroads. The United States is the world’s top oil producer, a natural gas juggernaut, and a nuclear pioneer—yet its potential remains shackled by bureaucratic inertia and ideological gridlock. To conservatives, the solution is clear: unshackle markets, slash red tape, and let innovation roar. But this isn’t just about ideology—it’s about...
