"While utilities rushed to meet state renewable energy mandates—one reason California’s electric rates are double those in neighboring states—tree-trimming and burying power lines were a low priority. Some of the state’s most destructive wildfires were caused by utility power lines and equipment."
"Nvirovate launched in May 2021 and recently landed $850,000 in angel investments from two clean-tech focused investors — VertueLab and E8 Angels — as well as Diversified Chemical Technologies; Willamette University; Keeler Investments; Family Angel Management Fund; and an individual investor."
"CCS technology has been used for years, often to enhance oil well production rates, but rising carbon prices in regions such as Europe have lifted hopes it might take off as a stand-alone business in the future."
Kenneth Schrupp outlines why California should invest in forest management in The Orange County Register. “If California is serious about improving the environment, the state’s top priority ought to be preventing mass wildfires that make breathing worse than smoking cigarettes and cause asthma in children — not magic trains that won’t be completed before the...
"Recharge reported in 2020 that Minnesota-based utility Great River Energy was planning to build a 1MW/150MWh grid-connected demonstration storage plant using Form Energy’s secret battery technology – providing 1MW of output for 150 hours straight – as it closes all but one of its fossil-fuel power plants."
"Exxon's Beaumont expansion marks a return to an era of steady refining capacity gains through processing tweaks and adding new equipment to existing plants."
"PERMIAN FIRSTExxon is starting with 700 sites in the U.S. Permian basin to end routine flaring globally by 2030. It installed acoustic sensors, optical gas imaging cameras, additional pipelines and is expanding technology to quickly shut down operations remotely if needed."
By promoting an innovation-led, “all of the above” strategy, Congress can continue to unleash ways for America’s energy sector to meet families’ needs while charting a path forward on environmental progress.
By implementing pro-growth policies at the state and federal levels, policymakers can ease burdens to allow innovators and entrepreneurs to continue this remarkable progress.
"The Rochester lab found that 'reddmatter' could exist at 69 degrees Fahrenheit and 145,000 pounds per square inch, or psi, of pressure—about 1/360th of the pressure in Earth’s core. That is about a 10-degree Fahrenheit increase in temperature and a drop to about 1/1000th of pressure compared with its predecessor from 2020."
