"The National Flood Insurance Program—the main provider of flood coverage in the U.S., with more than five million policies—is rolling out an overhauled pricing method starting Friday in an effort to reflect more accurately the flood risk that individual properties face. The issue has gained importance with climate change, which scientists say is fueling sea-level rise and contributing to more-severe weather."
"Nuclear energy is the largest source of carbon-free electricity in the United States. Despite this, some environmental groups seek to stop any and all nuclear energy development by pushing misleading and alarming rhetoric, along with increasing government overregulation. As a result, by 2050, nuclear’s share of energy generation in the U.S. could decline from 20% to 11%."
As the world celebrates Nuclear Science Week, it is important that the United States has leaders such as Bud Albright that are dedicated to educating the public and advancing innovative solutions to the world’s greatest energy and environmental needs.
"WasteFuel, is working to build facilities across the country that produce “bio-methanol” from corn husks, discarded wheat straw, and other agricultural scraps — a low-carbon fuel produced in tiny volumes today."
"This isn’t the first Tesla subsidiary that is in Texas. Gambit Energy Storage previously announced its construction of 100-megawatt batteries in Houston.

"The world invested $920 billion in clean energy deployment and innovation in 2021, a record high. However, in order to meet the goal of net-zero emissions by 2050, this figure must at least triple in the next few years, warns a report out Thursday from BloombergNEF."
"Starting next year Cruise will add purpose-built, electric Origin vans supplied by GM to its fleet and thinks having them do double duty throughout the day, acting as robotaxis during rush hour peaks and shifting to grocery and food deliveries when ride demand drops, will maximize revenue, Vogt says."
"The fact that we are still talking about the Texas grid a full after the storm indicates just how much of an impact the blackouts had on so many. It changed our awareness of things we once took for granted and has taken center stage in our politics. But, while we have made some progress, to say the grid is fixed would be premature, we are not yet done."
