Fifty years ago, when the grizzly bear was listed as a threatened species, the federal government intervened to save this iconic American animal. Its recovery is one of the nation’s signature conservation success stories: In 1975, there were at least 700 bears in the northern Rockies.

That was the question looming over a recent hearing in federal court in Beaumont, Texas, where Exxon Mobil has countersued Attorney General Rob Bonta of California and the nonprofit...
Companies developing renewable energy projects know those installations can bring even more value when built on a brownfield site. The ability to repurpose a once-industrial or other area and transform it into a sustainable energy hub, reclaiming the land while providing needed power, can support the surrounding community while providing economic and environmental benefits. A...
Perched at an elevation of more than 10,000 feet in the Colorado Rockies, where thin air and extreme conditions challenge even the most robust machinery, the Cabin Creek pumped-storage hydro facility has been quietly performing vital power grid services for nearly six decades. But as Colorado’s renewable energy revolution transformed the grid below, this high-altitude...
The Middle East waste-to-energy (WtE) market, valued at $1.78 billion in 2024, is projected to reach $2.48 billion by 2033, expanding at a CAGR of 3.7% as regional governments accelerate landfill reduction and clean energy goals, according to a new Grand View Research analysis. The United Arab Emirates leads the sector, capturing nearly 47% of 2024 revenue, followed closely...

Now, they’re planning their second act. The law extended Republicans’ 2017 tax rate reductions while making big cuts to health care and other social programs, adding $3.4 trillion to the national...
The United States faces an energy demand shock with clear national security consequences. After decades of flat demand, the rise of hyperscale artificial intelligence (AI) data centers, the electrification of heavy industry, and the reshoring of critical manufacturing are driving electricity needs upward at a pace unseen in modern history. These assets are not just economic engines; they are...
