As the fight against climate change intensifies, carbon capture technology has become a critical solution for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Leading this innovation is Corning’s ceramic honeycomb substrate—originally designed to reduce vehicle emissions, now repurposed to capture carbon dioxide (CO2) at an industrial scale. Carbon capture extracts CO2 from the atmosphere or industrial exhaust streams...
America faces an energy crisis. With skyrocketing energy demand and threats of increased blackouts, we’re left with question after question—but nuclear energy may just offer some answers. As promised, President Trump has already embarked on his mission to make the U.S. energy-dominant. To do this, he’s begun work on several key initiatives that will drastically improve...
While the hilltop overlook here boasts a splendid view of the Pacific coast, the land all around us is far less impressive. Municipal garbage trucks rumble along gravel roads to an adjacent landfill. Stumps and branches of dead eucalyptus trees form huge piles, refuse left behind by a former commercial forestry operation. Aclara Resources, the...
A bipartisan group of U.S. senators introduced a bill to limit, not prohibit, the sale of crude oil from the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR). The Banning SPR Oil Exports to Foreign Adversaries Act was filed in the U.S. Senate by Sens. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, John Fetterman, D-Penn., and Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich. U.S. Reps. Chrissy...
Arizona’s energy landscape may be changing. Three of the state’s largest utilities; Arizona Public Service, Salt River Project, and Tucson Electric Power are exploring a joint venture to bring a Generation III+ Small Modular Nuclear Reactor to Arizona. The plan is to take advantage of a $900 million grant from the Department of Energy. Arizona is one...
If in doubt, double down. Seven years ago President Donald Trump ordered 10% tariffs on US imports of aluminum with the stated aim of increasing domestic primary metal production. They haven’t worked. This time the tariff is going to be 25% without “exceptions or exemptions” effective March 4. Together with a similar-sized duty on steel imports,...
Battery production is a highly energy and water-intensive process. Lithium-ion batteries, which power everyday devices like smartphones, laptops, watches, and even electric vehicles, are sourced from critical materials like cobalt, graphite, and lithium.
Last week, the Senate voted to confirm former North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum as Secretary of the Interior. As Secretary and expected chair of the soon-to-be-established National Energy Council, Burgum has promised to follow President Trump’s directive to increase oil and gas production. But, if Burgum’s unique record is any indication, his approach might also involve carbon...
China dominates solar power supply chains, but the era of American energy dominance could change that. Recent domestic manufacturing investments in the solar industry have totaled more than $40 billion since 2022, further unleashing the industry’s potential here at home. Solar has firmly cemented itself as a key part of our all-of-the-above energy strategy and has steadily grown in...
The 2024 Global Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) Census reveals an industry at the cutting edge of technological transformation. As farms scale and optimize operations, the adoption of smart technology, AI, and renewable energy is accelerating. These innovations are driving efficiency, sustainability, and profitability in an industry poised to reshape global food production. AI and Automation:...
