Geothermal energy presents a unique opportunity for renewed American leadership with a resource that is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year regardless of weather. This relatively untapped source of power uses energy stored in the earth to generate electricity or provide heat. It is inherently resilient and reliable, strengthens the grid, reduces...
Scientists have achieved a major milestone in energy storage after developing a nuclear battery that can convert atomic waste into electricity. A team in the US has already tested the next-generation battery with a prototype device capable of harvesting enough nuclear radiation to power microchips. Nuclear batteries have been hailed for their potential to generate electricity for decades without...
Today, most farmers advocate for strengthening NRCS (Natural Resource Conservation Service) voluntary conservation programs, recognizing the importance of environmental stewardship.The good news is that strengthening these programs doesn’t have to come from monetary investments alone.
Amid surging demand for data centers to train and use cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) models, there is a consensus that an expensive build-out of America’s electric power system is unavoidable. President Trump declared a national energy emergency on the first day of his administration and has pledged to fast-track new power plants to fuel the data...
In the world of energy entrepreneurship, MIT’s course 15.366, better known as MIT Climate & Energy Ventures, is making headlines as a major force in clean energy commercialization.
Changing climate doesn’t mean the same thing to everyone everywhere. To some, warming will mean that already hot places will become even more temperature-challenged. To others, it might actually create new opportunities for things like growing food and new crops.
A $200 million EPA grant aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions in Minnesota’s food systems is generating significant interest from businesses, nonprofits, and local governments. Administered by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA), the funding will support efforts to make food production, transportation, and waste management more sustainable while improving food security and public health....
However, the United States can now boast of being the only country that has been able to couple nuclear power with desalination. Better yet, the nuclear reactor itself desalinates the water.
The electric grid has been described as the world’s largest machine. I’d like for you to take a moment to consider the generation and delivery of an electron to your home or business and how incredible today’s electric grid truly is. An electron is created by heat, inversion or friction at a power plant. That...
A coalition of Texas energy and industrial organizations urged the new head of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to swiftly grant the state primacy over carbon capture and storage (CCS) permitting. The groups argue that this shift would stimulate private investment and accelerate the deployment of carbon capture technology. In a letter to EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin,...
