"China has mastered the technology to design and construct gigawatt-class nuclear power plants with pressurized water reactors, it adds. Breakthroughs have also been made in ‘multiple frontier technologies including those associated with fast reactors and advanced small modular reactors.’"
Biden’s climate crusade: How his plan to cut carbon emissions, create jobs could impact U.S.
“Biden’s goals include carbon-free electricity by 2035, more wind and solar to get the nation to net-zero emissions and 100% clean energy by 2050."
Agribusiness announces $2 billion project to store captured carbon from ethanol in North Dakota
"Although final details and permits have yet to be worked out, an Iowa agribusiness company announced plans on Friday, Feb. 19, to build a $2 billion pipeline network that will carry liquefied carbon dioxide from ethanol plants in four states to underground storage in North Dakota."
How Economic Freedom Creates a Healthy Environment
As the 2021 Index of Economic Freedom reminds us once again, it is the freer economies that do far better job of achieving more dynamic growth while creating a healthier, cleaner natural environment.
CO2 tax support is based in myth: Taxing essential energy harms more than it helps
"The CO2 tax is a regressive burden on the energy that keeps Americans comfortable and healthy, and it will impose its greatest financial burdens on the businesses and communities that can least afford it. Americans already are drastically cutting emissions, and the arguments in support of the tax undercut the very market mechanisms upon which supporters claim to rely."
Disney World to power 40 percent of park with solar power
"Disney World recently announced a major upgrade to its resort that will enable the park to obtain nearly half of its energy from solar power. This news is just one element of a major push from the company to decrease its carbon footprint around the world."
Another California Drought with No New Reservoirs
"In 1979, California’s population was a little more than 23 million. Today, it is more than 39 million. Yet in that entire time, California did not construct one additional, large-scale water storage project – meaning water infrastructure that once suited the state’s irrigation, livestock, and human needs has become chronically inadequate to meet its essential tasks."
End the War on Nuclear Power—Start with Radiation
"Nuclear energy is the cleanest, safest, densest, and most reliable energy source. The value proposition for nuclear energy is unparalleled; it’s the only commercially proven, dispatchable clean energy technology that can be scaled up fast enough to meet the demand for electricity in a decarbonizing scenario."
As A Proven And Flexible Technology, Carbon Capture Can Help Enable Net Zero – If We Support It
"A breadth of solutions is needed to remove carbon emissions, such as hydrogen, sustainable bioenergy and various approaches to reducing and reusing the energy consumed in our homes, offices and factories. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) will play a significant role as well."
Global nuclear sector has much to offer a decarbonizing power sector
One established generation source that is often left out of public energy discussions is nuclear energy, which generates roughly 40 percent of all low-carbon power and, similar to Texas, about 10 percent of total global electricity.
