The Palisades Nuclear Plant is located on the shoreline of Lake Michigan, a short two-hour drive from Chicago. It came online in 1971 and was retired in 2022, ranked at the time as the eighth-oldest nuclear plant in the country. Now, the plant is set to restart and make history as the first American nuclear plant to do so.
Airloom Energy is debuting a new type of wind energy technology that differs significantly from current offerings on the market.
A new analysis from Aurora Energy Research suggests that deploying 4 gigawatts (GW) of battery storage across the Central U.S. could deliver more than $7 billion in energy cost savings over the next two decades, while also strengthening grid reliability in a region facing some of the nation’s fastest-growing power demand. The study, commissioned by...
Although nuclear fission, which powers nuclear reactors, can provide plenty of energy, it also produces potentially dangerous radioactive waste as a by-product. Now, researchers say they may have found a way to use that waste to help produce a cleaner nuclear energy. Nuclear fusion – the process by which atomic nuclei are combined into heavier...
Alphabet’s Google and Kairos Power will deploy an advanced nuclear plant connected to the Tennessee Valley Authority’s electric grid by 2030, the companies announced Monday. TVA has agreed to purchase up to 50 megawatts of power from Kairos’ Hermes 2 reactor. It is the first utility in the U.S. to sign a power purchase agreement with...
Implementing artificial intelligence may help make nuclear permitting faster, even with existing bureaucratic hurdles.
India aims to allow private firms to mine, import and process uranium as part of plans to end a decades-old state monopoly over the nuclear sector and bring in billions of dollars to boost the industry, two government sources said. Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government plans to expand nuclear power production capacity by 12 times...
An AI-powered recycling firm called Glacier has developed next-generation robotic systems to end waste.
During his 2024 campaign, President Trump frequently talked about the “liquid gold” under our American feet. He meant oil and natural gas reserves. We have fossil fuels in such abundance that we export energy to the rest of the world. It’s quite a change from the 1990s and 2000s when the U.S. was supposedly going...
Peak Energy’s passive sodium-ion battery system cuts costs, reduces fire risk, and onshores key manufacturing Peak Energy has shipped the first-ever grid-scale sodium-ion energy storage system (ESS) to the U.S. electric grid, launching a new era in battery innovation. The company’s fully passive, gigawatt-hour-scale system eliminates moving parts, slashes operational costs, and removes components responsible for most...
