"The Nucor fusion plant would be about 10 times the capacity of another facility Helion plans to build to provide fusion-generated electricity by 2028 for Microsoft. The Microsoft deal, believed to be the fusion industry’s first commercial agreement, was announced in May."
Before further buying into the degrowth narrative, policymakers and citizens should look to history, economics, and science. Green growth and economic freedom have alleviated poverty, accelerated innovation, and delivered meaningful climate progress.
When it comes to thwarting climate change, scientists, innovators, and entrepreneurs are paving the way for a cooler world.
"A survey in May by the International Chamber of Shipping association said nuclear fuel was being viewed with more interest than in 2021, with some seeing nuclear-powered commercial ships being viable within the next decade."
"The new container ship, ordered in 2021, has two engines: one moved by traditional fuels and another run with green methanol — an alternative component, which uses biomass or captured carbon and hydrogen from renewable power. Practically speaking, the new vessel emits 100 tons of carbon dioxide fewer per day compared to diesel-based ships."
"Vaulted Deep’s approach involves collecting sludgy organic waste such as animal manure, inedible food and pulpy paper and injecting it deep into wells, which can be sequestered for thousands of years. That prevents it from decomposing and emitting the potent greenhouse gas methane, said Vaulted Deep CEO Julia Reichelstein. She touted other co-benefits, such as preventing chemicals associated with these waste streams from leaching into groundwater. The technology builds on patented geologic slurry injection methods used by the parent company."
"An X-energy spokesperson on Thursday told POWER that the company is currently focusing its mobile microreactor work 'around one practical, cost-effective microreactor that can be deployed for use in remote military locations as well as commercial or industrial use.' X-energy’s transportable microreactor 'is designed to generate in the range of 3 to 5 MW and is differentiated to be cost-competitive with remote diesel power. The microreactor is designed to use TRISO-based fuel,' he said."
"The production process begins with sifting waste from local towns and a nearby army base to remove metals and minerals. The material is then ground into a powder and converted into bioplastic in a reactor using UBQ technology that doesn’t require water. The resulting thermoplastic is then shaped into pellets that can be blended with other materials and has production costs that the company says are comparable to making plastic."
Our New Primer Tries to Capture What Actual Scientists, Not Activists, Are Saying About Climate Risk
"Spanish farmer Miguel Moreno was an early adopter of so-called cover crops. He began growing grasses alongside trees almost 30 years ago to stop water draining away down the hill on his 74-hectare olive grove in the southern region of Andalusia."
