According to a recent report from ETH Zurich (the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, “policymakers should not rely on, or fund, fusion power as a core pillar of future clean energy systems” for the two primary current fusion designs (magnetic and laser inertial) because of their low “experience rates” (economies of scale). Fusion industry professionals already pursuing...
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has released a draft Fungicide Strategy and invited public comment on measures intended to reduce harm to federally listed wildlife and plants. The agency says the draft recommends practical, science-based protections for more than 1,000 species while preserving flexibility for states, growers and applicators. EPA frames the effort as part of its...
As nuclear energy regains traction, the uranium market is facing a timing problem. Demand is rising, but new supply remains slow to develop—leaving North America reliant on imports and legacy inventories. Triton Uranium’s Atlas Project in northern Saskatchewan is being positioned as part of a potential solution. The company is aiming to shorten development timelines by combining near-surface geology...
The Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Office of Nuclear Energy and the National Reactor Innovation Center (NRIC) have announced the first four developers selected for the freshly launched Nuclear Energy Launch Pad—a restructured deployment-support initiative that succeeds the DOE’s Reactor Pilot Program and Fuel Line Pilot Program and broadens federal assistance to cover the full nuclear...
Solar power is now among the cheapest forms of electricity on Earth. Yet the industry still behaves as if it can’t survive without government support. Since President Donald Trump signed the “One Big Beautiful Bill” last July 4, the solar industry has sounded alarms.
The International Energy Agency (IEA) earlier this year reported that its analysis of recent data on geothermal power showed financing for the sector reached nearly $2.2 billion last year. The investment represents an 80% increase from the prior year, and IEA said it shows exponential growth from just $22 million of investment in 2018. Industry...

The report analyses the steam and gas turbine market value and capacity for the historical (2021–2025) and forecast...
On April 7, Anthropic announced Project Glasswing, a coalition of 12 major technology companies marshaling a new frontier artificial intelligence (AI) model to find and fix critical software vulnerabilities before attackers can exploit them. While the announcement is framed around technology infrastructure broadly, the implications for the power sector are immediate and serious. Partner posts from Amazon...
Texas has long stood apart from national energy policy—its own grid, its own rules. In 2026, that independence has made it the top destination for AI-driven electricity demand. While Washington grapples with the pressures of building data centers, ensuring reliability, and controlling costs, Texas is tackling everything at once. The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) market is solving for speed-to-power by surmounting transmission bottlenecks, phantom load growth, buying down residential rate increases, and more.
After the Iran war ends and the Strait of Hormuz opens, gas prices will fall. But when the next crisis comes, we’ll be happy for every nuclear reactor we have, large and small. So let’s build.
