America needs more electric transmission, the high-voltage lines that carry electrons from power plants to communities nationwide. But under today’s policies, building those lines takes too long and costs too much. Without a substantial expansion in transmission capacity, the country is at risk of rising energy costs, a less reliable electric grid, and stymied global leadership in AI.
To remain competitive on the global stage, the United States needs more energy infrastructure, and we need it sooner than our current system allows. New data centers, a resurgence in American manufacturing and emerging technologies are critical for growth but demand more power. We need more generation and transmission, stronger supply chains and faster deployment...
According to a recent report from ETH Zurich (the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, “policymakers should not rely on, or fund, fusion power as a core pillar of future clean energy systems” for the two primary current fusion designs (magnetic and laser inertial) because of their low “experience rates” (economies of scale). Fusion industry professionals already pursuing...
By many measures, the Texas electricity grid was put to the test in 2025. The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) reported near-record power demand, with electricity use in the first three quarters of 2025 up about 5 percent from the prior year – the fastest growth of any U.S. grid. Since 2023, wind, solar, and energy storage have been the fastest-growing sources of electricity in Texas, all helping meet rising demand.
Electricity bills are up, and data centers are getting the blame. But in the data so far, the states with the fastest-growing power use have mostly seen rates rise slower than elsewhere, not faster. Rising demand is supposed to push rates up, not down, but there are good reasons to think rising demand has held electric rates down in some areas. The question worth asking is whether we can count on that to last.
Chinese officials have held initial talks with providers of equipment to make solar panels as they consider limiting exports of the most advanced technology to the United States, said five people with knowledge of the consultations. Such a clampdown would risk investments by U.S. firms and set back a race for space-based computing, as China,...
In a welcoming milestone, TerraPower received approval from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for a construction permit for its advanced nuclear power plant in Kemmerer, Wyoming. The review, completed ahead of schedule, provides a hopeful signal that the United States is finally turning the corner on one of the biggest barriers to clean energy innovation: an outdated, slow, and unpredictable licensing and permitting system.
There is a powerful movement underway to reindustrialize America, a recognition that our nation’s economic strength and military security are built in its factories. For our country to compete, we must be able to make things– and make them quickly.
Tokyo is preparing to redirect industrial investment toward clean electricity at scale. The Japanese government plans to allocate 210 billion yen, equivalent to $1.34 billion, in subsidies to support companies that rely entirely on decarbonised power, aiming to stimulate renewable energy demand while anchoring new economic activity in regional areas. The initiative, announced late Monday...
