Reforming vague and overreaching efforts to more carefully walk a line that better aligns incentives and works with property owners could help eliminate some of the ESA’s harmful side effects.
Can We Achieve Sustainable Fishing on a Global Scale?
"Small-scale fishing communities tend to regulate themselves in a proactive way to ensure sustainable harvests: The regulators are the fishers, and the fishers are the regulators. The fishers in a certain area today will be the same fishers in that same area tomorrow, the next day and the next year. It is in their interest to catch enough to make a living but not so much as to deplete next year’s catch."
Why Kenya could take the lead in carbon removal
"Because the earth’s crust is thinner than usual along the rift, it has vast geothermal potential. The American government reckons Kenya alone could generate 10,000mw of geothermal power, more than ten times the amount it currently produces. A by-product of such power stations is plenty of waste steam, which can then be used to heat dac machines. Moreover, since close to 90% of Kenya’s power is renewable, the electricity these machines consume does not contribute to more global warming."
It’s not just energy — our slow permitting process is also harming conservation
"Put simply, permitting issues are holding North American conservation back, but Congress can fix it. This is a responsible and bipartisan way to ensure that American sportsmen and women can pass on their passions and appreciation of our natural resources, not just to their children and grandchildren, but also to keep these cherished outdoor traditions alive for generations long after. And our environment will be more resilient as a result."
Nuclear power could end blackouts and fight climate change
“When the Legislature takes up normal operations again in January, serious consideration should be given to changing the renewable standards to include hydro and nuclear power. Both meet the twin needs of providing safe, non-carbon power to Californians.”

Oil Major BP Gives a Taste of How It Will Go Green
“The move is a signal of intent for BP’s low-carbon plans…It gives a real-life example of how the company plans to fulfill its ambition to sell integrated low-carbon power packages to companies and cities—one of the two green businesses it wants to develop.”
Nuclear Energy Among the Least Popular Sources of Power in the U.S., Polling Shows
“Nuclear energy has an image problem, despite advocates pushing its development as a crucial piece of decarbonizing the U.S. energy sector and combating climate change.”
Nuclear fusion reactor could be here as soon as 2025
“If a fusion reactor reaches that milestone, it could pave the way for massive generation of clean energy.”
No better time to modernize America’s energy infrastructure
“Renewable energy has made remarkable gains over the past decade. Targeted federal investment in physical infrastructure can maintain that momentum while creating jobs, sparking economic activity, and improving environmental performance.”
