Small modular reactors (SMRs) are disrupting conventional notions surrounding nuclear power. Smaller, more compact, and producing minimal emissions, this innovative alternative to traditional nuclear power is receiving more public and private sector attention as governments scramble to meet global energy needs reliably and responsibly.
As of Thursday morning, more than 137,000 people have evacuated their homes. Unsurprisingly, the politicization of wildfires has already begun, with politicians quickly blaming climate change or other policymakers for mismanaging forests.

9. Mark Ruffalo The Avengers and Spotlight star has called climate change the “biggest story of our time,” but led the charge to shut down the Indian Point nuclear power plant in New York. The carbon-free electricity that the nuclear plant generated was lost, leading to an immediate 37% uptick in emissions in the Empire...
The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) awarded Constellation Energy more than $1 billion in combined government contracts to provide nuclear power to 80 federal facilities representing more than 13 federal agencies.
"Now, we’re on the third iteration, which seems to be piecemeal version of the old plan. What is the Green New Deal now? Everything, still. Infrastructure. Transit. Food."
The high cost of energy is perhaps the biggest challenge UK business faces in being globally competitive. In a world where Donald Trump’s energy policies are likely to lead to even more of a differential in costs between the UK and US, it is almost impossible to see how UK companies generally can be competitive.
While more approvals are necessary to begin operations, recommissioning nuclear power plants will play a vital role in meeting America’s growing energy demand and increasing nuclear energy capacity in the U.S.
Community-driven clean energy projects often address local problems more effectively than big corporations or governments can. In Taos, New Mexico, Kit Carson Electric Cooperative improved an unreliable power supply by installing microgrid-small-scale, self-sufficient power grids that generate electricity for a localized area.
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has granted West Virginia primary enforcement responsibility of Class VI wells under the Underground Injection Control Program. The state is the fourth—after Louisiana, North Dakota, and Wyoming—given primary authority by EPA to oversee and administer its Class VI program, known as primacy. The authority allows the state to permit...
