"The fusion demonstration is a reminder not of what is inevitable but of what is possible. And it is not just fusion. The advance of wind and solar and battery technology remains a near miracle. The possibilities of advanced geothermal and hydrogen are thrilling. Smaller, modular nuclear reactors could make new miracles possible, like cars and planes that don’t need to be refueled or recharged. This is a world progressives, in particular, should want to hasten into existence. Clean, abundant energy is the foundation on which a more equal, just and humane world can be built."
Hydrogen plane startup looks to reshape aviation industry
"It's an ambitious timeline that will require arduous regulatory approvals and new infrastructure at airports. 'If we have all these beautiful engines with no fuel at the airports, nobody's gonna fly them,' he told Axios."
Green is the New Gold: Clean Technology Investment Breaks Records in 2022

Greta Thunberg Has Embraced Nuclear Power: Will The Greens Follow?
"No energy industry is perfect, including nuclear power. Nevertheless, it is one of the cleanest and most efficient sources of energy we have. Opposing nuclear power is allowing perfection to become the enemy of the good."
It Took 15 Years for the Feds To Approve a 700-Mile Electric Line
"With all the permission slips finally locked down, construction on the line will begin later this year, and the 3,000-megawatt line could be operational by 2028, EnergyWire reports. By then, it'll be 23 years since the project was first proposed in 2005."
It’s Time to Take the Unnecessary Politics Out of ESG and Retirement Savings
"If the purpose of ERISA is to protect retirement savings, both sides of the aisle should focus on the duties of loyalty and prudence owed to beneficiaries and plan participants, and less on an Administration’s policy agenda. Ironically, this is what ERISA was originally intended to protect against."

Steam made by heat pumps can help clean up industry and manufacturing
Jeff St. John of Canary Media reports on AtmosZero and its mission to clean up manufacturing. “Typical residential heat-pump systems deliver about 300 to 400 percent as much energy in the form of heat as the energy they use to transfer it. AtmosZero’s heat-pump boilers can practically deliver about 200 percent of the same energy input as heat, he said. But...
California Green Hydrogen Machine Maker Raises $73 Million
"Electrolyzers split hydrogen from water, yielding a fuel that can be produced and used without spewing greenhouse gases into the air. Although hydrogen is seen as a potential fuel for everything from city buses to data centers, most of it sold today goes to oil refineries and fertilizer plants, and it’s stripped from natural gas in a process that gives off carbon dioxide."
Carbon capture projects bring new opportunity for Texas energy
"The CCS opportunity in Texas is enormous, and we have the same kind of competitive advantage that Texans have grown used to in our energy sector. The only barriers are bureaucracy and bad policy."
