The fight over California’s sky-high energy bills had an obvious winner this week: the owners of rooftop solar panels. They blasted lawmakers with emails and phone calls, and showed up to a protest in Los Angeles County and a Wednesday hearing in Sacramento — where they were ultimately rewarded. Over the past couple of years,...
A much-delayed nuclear fusion project involving more than 30 countries is ready to assemble the world’s most powerful magnet – a key part of efforts to generate clean energy by smashing atoms together at super-high temperatures. The International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) project, based in southern France and backed by the United States, China, Japan,...
Startup company Remora recently bought a 4,400-horsepower locomotive that is about to be delivered this week to its parking lot in the Detroit suburbs via a new rail spur. The company plans to use the 1994 General Electric unit to test its mobile carbon-capture technology for rail use, said Paul Gross, Remora’s 28-year-old chief executive and co-founder. “It’s...
The global energy transition demands clean, abundant, and reliable alternatives to fossil fuels. Geothermal power — the heat of the earth — meets these criteria. Yet its widespread adoption has been hindered by technical and financial barriers, particularly in accessing geothermal resources deep within the earth. In February 2014, the Department of Energy (DOE) announced...
China’s State Council approved 10 new reactors on Sunday in a vote of confidence for nuclear power to remain central to the nation’s clean energy transition. It’s the fourth year in a row that China has approved at least 10 new reactors. The nation has 30 under construction, nearly half the global total, and is...
Affordable, reliable transportation is essential for everyday life, and sound transportation policy can have profound positive effects on the economy, the environment, and the lives of all Americans.
A large-scale environmental remediation effort is underway through a public-private initiative. The Well Done Foundation (WDF), in partnership with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, is working to decommission more than 110 orphaned oil and gas wells across four National Wildlife Refuges. As part of this collaboration, WDF recently marked a major milestone: the successful plugging of...
The reality is offshore wind could offer compelling potential benefits that make a categorical ban shortsighted and counterproductive.
This Earth Day, let’s explore one possible way to expand and improve our recycling system: the use of advanced or chemical recycling.
CGI and Fathom have launched a joint IoT-powered digital twin solution tailored to the needs of offshore wind farm operators. The platform is designed to enhance operational efficiency and long-term asset performance through improved data integration and real-time analytics. Reducing Offshore Wind O&M Costs Through Data-Driven Insights Operational and maintenance (O&M) expenses represent nearly 30%...
