A Connecticut-based developer of distributed energy resources said it has begun construction on solar power installations at four municipal landfill sites in that state. Verogy, a West Hartford-headquartered group and distributed energy integrator focused on commercial, industrial, and utility-scale projects, on June 16 said each project is participating in Connecticut’s Non-Residential Renewable Energy Solutions (NRES) program. The NRES...
The term “moon shot” was launched in the 1940s, according to research by the Oxford English Dictionary. “The real result of all the work which would have to go into the moon shot,” Rotarian magazine wrote in 1949, “would be the knowledge of how to build and operate rockets of such size.”
The U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve has fallen to the lowest level in more than 40 years as emergency stocks are released to help ease the supply disruption triggered by the Iran war. The SPR stood at 340.3 million barrels as of June 12, the lowest level since the summer of 1983, according to data released...
With the AI and data boom underway, electricity has become the top economic infrastructure for growth. Electricity has long been foundational to our society, powering our homes and businesses, but now, it is the primary infrastructure on which the digital economy, advanced manufacturing and an American industrial resurgence depend.
The Great Salt Lake is drying up. Since the mid-1980s, the lake has dropped 22 feet, and its surface area is 60 percent smaller than it once was. If that doesn’t sound like a lot, consider this: it takes 12 minutes and 13 seconds to walk from where the lake’s shoreline once was to where it is today.
A major grid-tech company is asking the Trump administration to fund a project it says could significantly boost the nation’s ability to move power around — without building a single new transmission tower or line. Open Access Technology International (OATI) is a Minneapolis-based firm whose software is used by nearly every North American transmission grid operator to manage the flow...
For five days, the equivalent of 350 Olympic-sized pools’ worth of sewage flooded into the Potomac River in a suburb of Washington, D.C. The cause? A clear failure in our permitting systems.
Energy Secretary Chris Wright said that nearly 100 vessels have used the Jones Act waiver granted by President Donald Trump, which allowed refiners to use foreign-flagged ships to transport fuel between United States ports. The Jones Act waiver “has been used enormously,” Wright said in testimony Wednesday before the House Science Space and Technology committee. “I think...
The Great Salt Lake is in decline. Shorelines that once defined northern Utah’slandscape have receded dramatically over the past two decades, exposing thousands of acres of dry lakebed and intensifying concerns over dust pollution, ecosystem collapse, and long-term water scarcity across the Wasatch Front. Scientists have warned repeatedly that if current trends continue, the consequences will extend...
The United States is the most energy-rich nation on earth. We have motivated capital, human ingenuity, a wide range of resources, and innovative technologies. With unprecedented energy demand needed in the next few years, the United States needs more power generation, more pipelines, and transmission lines.
