"For Republicans, banning imports of Russian oil and doing everything possible to ramp up supply at home are no-brainers. Expect candidates, including some Democrats, to hammer both themes until Biden relents. Yet, conservatives have an opportunity to offer something more ambitious and transformative than 'Drill, Baby, Drill' 2.0. We can reshape the climate debate and redefine what it means to be serious about environmental stewardship for decades to come."
"Rising global energy costs and questions about the reliability of wind and solar have produced a new moment for nuclear. Governments considering keeping their nuclear power plants operating or adding nuclear to their energy mix should know that it isn’t inevitable that a new reactor will provoke local opposition."
"The MARVEL reactor will be constructed at INL’s Transient Reactor Test Facility. Yasir Arafat, project lead for MARVEL, showed me the site and provided an overview of the project. Arafat explained that microreactors are 'very tiny reactors' compared to today’s more standard gigawatt-scale commercial units. He said they typically produce single-digit megawatt output, although some can run up to 20 MW or more. Arafat noted that microreactors have three key features: they can be built in factories, transported over standard roads, and are self-regulating, that is, they’re automated to operate safely without human interaction."
“This groundbreaking small modular reactor (SMR) design features a fully factory-fabricated NuScale Power Module™ capable of generating 60 MW of electricity using a safer, smaller, and scalable version of pressurized water reactor technology.”
The sooner conservatives blow up the narrative that they don’t care about climate change and don’t have any policy ideas, the sooner we’ll get to a serious debate about durable solutions that will be good for people and the planet.
"Cement is a literal glue that holds much of society together. Since the Roman Empire, cement and concrete have been used as a building block of societies. Today, concrete is the most used man-made material on the planet, used in everything from roads to buildings and more."
After decades of theories and experiments—not to mention public ridicule of the concept—nuclear fusion is close to becoming a reality. Expert consensus suggests that power plants harnessing this vaunted energy source will operate on electrical grids by 2050, but the United States is woefully unprepared to deploy it on our shores. Only a coordinated “all-in”...
Recent legislation in Texas would put the Lone Star State's energy market on a slippery slope to more government intervention and regulation.
Electric vehicles (EV) are slowly but surely gaining in popularity. However, one of the downsides to owning an EV is the recharging time. Many companies are upgrading charging stations for electric cars to make traveling faster and to ease this concern. >>>READ: Can This Tech Company Help Solve the Electric Car Industry’s Charging Bottleneck?
