"Touted as the first facility of its kind in the US, datacenters at the campus will be directly connected to the 2.5 gigawatt Susquehanna power plant 'without intermediation by legacy electric transmission and distribution utilities,' which the company claims will allow it to offer the most attractive energy rates in the country."
Centrus Competes Construction, Initial Testing of HALEU Demonstration Cascade
"Centrus’s pioneering cascade uses gas centrifuge machines, which feed uranium hexafluoride (UF6)—heated to a gaseous state—into a rotor inside the centrifuge machine. A rotor spinning at high speed inside a steel casing uses centrifugal force to concentrate the heavier U-238 isotopes at the outer wall of the rotor and the lighter U-235 isotopes toward the rotor center. The streams are then fed to the next machines in a “cascade” to achieve the desired level of enrichment. Centrus will use a 4.95% LEU feed material for its planned HALEU 16 AC100M-centrifuge cascade. It suggests roughly 85% of the separative work units (SWU)—a measure of enrichment needed to produce HALEU—is already contained in the LEU feed material."
House Republicans Wisely Bet Their Future on a Climate and Energy Agenda
Voters Overwhelmingly Prefer the GOP Approach to Creating a Healthier Economy and Planet
Texas Senate Energy Bill to Overhaul Power Grid Will Increase Costs for Ratepayers Across the State
Texas lawmakers should consider ways to maintain electricity market competition in the state while bolstering grid reliability. This means reducing the government's preferential treatment of certain energy sources and maintaining an unsubsidized energy strategy that lets free markets and free people, not politicians, pick winners and losers.
Strong US-South Korea Relations are Key for the Future of Freedom (and Climate)
For the U.S. and our allies such as South Korea, energy security is national security. We need to keep expanding our supplies to provide a better, more secure energy future for everyone, everywhere.
Putting regenerative solutions in the Farm Bill would benefit us all
"Investing in regenerative agricultural solutions shouldn’t be viewed as politically divisive or at odds with economic returns. It can benefit us all. We need strategic investments to accelerate this momentum. We need to invest in farmers and ranchers to unleash powerful, unique climate solutions that our planet and food systems need."
Tapping Into Hydrogen Is A Win For America
An arranged national strategy, involving substantial investment and a supportive policy framework, is needed to ensure America is a competitive player in the global hydrogen economy.
The Race to Build a Better Air Conditioner
Amrith Ramkumar of The Wall Street Journal reports on the race to build better air conditioners. “When air conditioning is needed, the solution is brought in contact with air, absorbing water and removing humidity. The air is cooled within a component called a heat exchanger using a high-efficiency method to lower air temperature by exposing...
2023 Has Been the Year of Carbon Removal
The robust private and public sector investment in carbon dioxide removal is a welcome step for climate-conscious citizens, the economy, and the planet.
Market-Based Conservation is Saving Southern White Rhinos
Market-based conservation efforts are showing the power that incentives and private management provide in protecting endangered and threatened species.
