Geothermal energy is a highly promising and reliable zero-emission technology. Besides critical investments in R&D, the biggest hindrances to geothermal development are permitting and other regulatory barriers that are more stringent than for oil and gas.

“The expanded role of natural gas in America’s energy mix is the single largest factor in power sector emissions reductions reaching 25-year lows.”

“The shutoffs were necessary because of the state’s reliance on renewable energy. Cloudy days and still weather meant renewable power sources could only serve 18% of Californian’s demand — nowhere near enough…California could avoid this problem in the future by embracing nuclear power.”

“When the Legislature takes up normal operations again in January, serious consideration should be given to changing the renewable standards to include hydro and nuclear power. Both meet the twin needs of providing safe, non-carbon power to Californians.”

“We are in the midst of a battery revolution, one in which batteries will eventually power cars and trucks for thousands of miles on a single charge, provide reliable, carbon-free electricity to the grid after being charged by renewable resources, or even power airplanes on short to medium-length flights. And those are just the more obvious applications.”

Vistra will break ground on nearly 1,000 megawatts of renewable energy and storage while retiring its entire Midwest coal fleet.

“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 Department of Energy has announced a $72M investment into carbon capture technologies.

“Fiat Chrysler says Jeep will have electric options on each of its vehicles in the next few years.”

"Google aims to power its data centers and offices using solely carbon-free electricity by 2030."
