Across the United States, billions of tons of industrial waste could hold the key to revitalizing the country’s struggling critical metals sector. PHNX Materials is unlocking that opportunity by transforming waste into high-value materials for the agriculture, semiconductor, and building materials industries.
Farm Bill debates this year have been riddled with pesticide fights. While the House was passing its farm bill, the Supreme Court was gearing up for a major case that could change how pesticide companies are held liable for their labeling. At the heart of these debates is one chemical in particular: glyphosate.
DJI Agriculture’s 2025 Agricultural Drone Industry Insight Report puts a number on something the precision agriculture sector has been claiming qualitatively for years: that drone-based crop application meaningfully reduces the environmental footprint of farming at scale. The cumulative figures through end of 2025 are specific enough to be useful to anyone building agricultural sustainability metrics into a...
Millionaire investor Kevin O’Leary dismissed mounting opposition to his massive AI data center proposal in Utah as “ridiculous” and accused China of helping to fuel a smear campaign against his Stratos project. “I think a lot of those concerns are based on misinformation and just straight-out lies,” O’Leary said in an interview with NewsNation’s “The Hill” late Tuesday. The proposed development in the...
Nuclear energy is safe, clean, reliable, and scalable. It can power the artificial intelligence (AI) revolution, revitalize industrial communities, and help meet our environmental ambitions. So why does building a nuclear plant in the United States cost so much?
The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) has initiated a programme to encourage battery energy storage systems (BESS) and other inverter-based resources to adopt grid-forming technology. Established 26 May, the Nodal Protocol Revision Request (NPRR) “establishes a one-time advanced grid support incentive programme to encourage inverter-based resources (IBRs) that would not otherwise be required to...
Previous studies showed that transmission competition can provide meaningful cost savings, but some questioned whether the additional effort of competitive solicitations was worth it, especially if they delay needed transmission, Kent Chandler, one of the report’s authors, said in an email. “Our analysis found no evidence that competitive solicitations have added time to the overall...
Florida-headquartered NextEra Energy, one of the largest U.S. power utilities, is set to buy Virginia-based Dominion Energy in an all-stock deal valued at about $67 billion. The companies announced the deal on May 18, one day after several outlets including POWER reported the energy groups were discussing an agreement to create a utility giant that would have assets...
A giant energy-storage project in South Dakota will soon turn cheap wind energy into clean industrial steam for a neighboring biofuels facility. The startup Antora Energy said it recently began booting up a 5-gigawatt-hour thermal energy storage system at Poet’s ethanol-production plant near Big Stone City, close to the Minnesota border. With a fleet of more than 200 batteries, Antora’s project is expected to become...
America needs more electric transmission, the high-voltage lines that carry electrons from power plants to communities nationwide. But under today’s policies, building those lines takes too long and costs too much. Without a substantial expansion in transmission capacity, the country is at risk of rising energy costs, a less reliable electric grid, and stymied global leadership in AI.
