"'The end product is inert salts and PFAS-free water,' Dindal says, summing up the results of a recent pilot demonstration project at a wastewater treatment facility in Michigan. There, a mobile Annihilator was used to 'safely and completely destroy' PFAS in contaminated water at a plant operated by Heritage-Crystal Clean."
"In Covanta’s energy recovery facility, waste is burned at temperatures around 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit. There are 21 miles of pipes around the combustor, where the intense heat converts water into steam that turns a turbine, which powers a generator."
"Already a key supplier of high-tech ceramic materials to the global automotive, semiconductor, defense and energy industries, CoorsTek is jumping into hydrogen at a time when engineering and technological improvements are making it more attractive as a carbon-free fuel to electrify heavy-duty trucks, trains, ships, aircraft and other vehicles too large or heavy for battery packs."
Catherine Clifford of CNBC writes about why nuclear energy is on the verge of a renaissance. “That’s largely because nuclear energy is clean energy, releasing no greenhouse gasses. Meanwhile, the world is seeing more of the effects of climate change, including rising global temperatures, increased pollution, wildfires, and more intense and deadly storms.” Read the full article...
"The six conservatives on the court, in an opinion by Chief Justice John Roberts, have officially declared the 'major questions doctrine'—a concept that has appeared in a handful of past court decisions—to be a living, breathing principle. The federal bureaucracy is no longer allowed to impose programs of major 'economic and political significance' on the country absent 'clear congressional authorization.' Hallelujah."
"Although Camelina does not require bees for pollination, it’s flowers are an excellent forage resource for bees and its golden yellow blooming fields are beautiful to see. In recognition of the many benefits of double cropping, the USDA has added coverage for the practice in its crop insurance program."
Benjamin Storrow of E&E News reports on a power line in Maine that would deliver clean energy to the state. “Experts say new transmission is needed not only to connect clean energy projects to the grid, but to ship electricity back and forth across regions to accommodate fluctuations in renewable output. When the National Academies...
"The nation can meet its climate objectives, but we must move quickly. By reforming the permitting process, we can create a dynamic, cheaper clean energy economy in the coming years and ensure that America remains globally competitive into the next century."
"The reality is that tariffs harm most manufacturing jobs. Roughly 60% of all goods imported are intermediary goods or materials used for domestic manufacturing, according to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Many pipeline-manufacturing companies import specialty casings for oil and gas projects. How ironic for any Republican to call for an 'all of the above' energy policy yet support making hydrocarbons more difficult and expensive to produce through protectionism."
"For storm intensity forecasts in particular, NOAA has been developing a new system known as HAFS — the Hurricane Analysis and Forecast System — and hopes to implement it next spring. HAFS will 'provide an operational analysis and forecast out to seven days' and allow scientists 'to see multiple storms at once to understand how they interact,' NOAA says."
