Texas Is Leading in Power Grid Investment
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...

Corning Leads Carbon Capture Innovation with Honeycomb Substrates
As the fight against climate change intensifies, carbon capture technology has become a critical solution for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Leading this innovation is Corning’s ceramic honeycomb substrate—originally designed to reduce vehicle emissions, now repurposed to capture carbon dioxide (CO2) at an industrial scale. Carbon capture extracts CO2 from the atmosphere or industrial exhaust streams...
