However, in a time of climate triage, nuclear energy is getting a renewed look. The best-known example is Bill Gates’ advanced nuclear reactor company TerraPower, which teamed up with GE-Hitachi Nuclear Energy and Berkshire Hathaway’s BRK.B, 0.44% power company, PacifiCorp, to eventually build a next-generation small nuclear reactor using new fuel technology.
Our world needs forests. Humans need trees for our very survival. Forest restoration is a critical goal that needs innovative solutions. Thankfully, technology is bringing the innovative roadmaps we need.
"The Via solution sits in a shipping container in the middle of the manufacturing process and acts as a filtration system for whatever is being produced."
As the world looks for serious solutions to climate change in the coming weeks at COP, global leaders and delegates would do well to heed the words of Dr. Kerry Emanuel and embrace nuclear energy.
With the need for nuclear energy being so obvious in reducing emissions while providing reliable power to consumers, it is important to have entrepreneurs such as Clay Sell and his team at X-energy creating the innovations that are needed to power the world.
"A new frontier for nuclear energy in the United States is under exploration, and Xcel Energy is at the forefront with a project to produce hydrogen, most likely at its Prairie Island plant near Red Wing, Minnesota."
"According to a new study, we could reduce these emissions by up to 68 percent – by switching to a sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) derived from plants. Specifically, the non-edible oilseed crop Brassica carinata, a variety of mustard plant. And it could be more cost-effective than petroleum fuel."
"No matter the industry, it’s clear that climate change simply cannot be passed off as another business’s problem. It will affect companies on a number of fronts – their customers, their employees, their suppliers, their factories, and their facilities."
"Marsh plants, which are ubiquitous along the world’s shorelines, can play a major role in mitigating the damage to coastlines as sea levels rise and storm surges increase. Now, a new MIT study provides greater detail about how these protective benefits work under real-world conditions shaped by waves and currents."
"A key focus for climate-monitoring satellites is methane, a potent greenhouse gas that leaks erratically from wellheads, pipelines and storage tanks, making it tougher to detect—especially in remote locations and authoritarian countries that don’t allow field inspections or aircraft overflights."
