Reducing the amount of agricultural sprays used by farmers — including fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides — could cut down the amount of runoff that ends up in the environment while at the same time reducing farmers’ costs and perhaps even enhancing their productivity. A classic win-win-win. A team of researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology...
As data centers consume more power, energy solutions are necessary to meet increased energy demand while lowering carbon emissions. Expanded geothermal power might provide a solution that meets both these objectives.
Whereas traditional farming has distinct planting and harvest seasons, Controlled Environment Agriculture goes beyond that. It enables year-round planting and harvesting of crops by utilizing climate-controlled indoor spaces, such as greenhouses and vertical farms.
March 24 (Reuters) – South Korea’s Hyundai Motor Group announced a $21 billion investment in the United States with President Donald Trump at the White House on Monday.

On any other day, David Rodriguez’s truck would have been helping extract oil, and as he sucked mud from a well beneath a towering drilling rig, any passersby might have assumed he was doing just that. “Compared to oil and gas, it’s the same thing, man,” Rodriguez shouted over the motor. But he was working to produce...
The Biden Administration spent hundreds of billions of dollars to push renewables, and the result was a 30% increase in national utility prices. And yet, despite producing, (intermittent and expensive) electricity, no amount of wind and solar can make rubber or plastic or the millions of products we use, nor can they forge steel or...
Data Center Alley, a 30-square-mile stretch outside Washington D.C. and home to more than 200 data centers, consumes roughly the same electricity as Boston. So power company officials were alarmed when a big chunk of those centers – 60 of them – suddenly dropped off the grid one day last summer and switched to on-site...
The U.S. Department of Energy said on Monday it has disbursed $57 million of an up to $1.52 billion loan guarantee for Holtec’s Palisades nuclear plant in Michigan, which the company hopes will be the first U.S. commercial reactor to restart after ceasing operations. The conditional loan guarantee was part of an effort by the administration of former President...
Beyond consumer electronics, these chips enhance economic efficiency and reduce environmental impact. They drive advancements in electric vehicles (EVs), smart grids, and energy expansion, making them an essential tool for sustained economic growth and technological progress.
Policymakers must recognize that wildfires are both an environmental and an economic problem and require common-sense solutions to address fire risk. A new tool may help them do just that.
