A pilot project from a team of oil industry veterans could save one of California’s key clean energy resources from terminal decline. On Thursday, the Oklahoma City-based GreenFire Energy announced it had restored new life to a defunct well in the Geysers, the world’s largest geothermal power station — and one that has been in...
When the federal government introduced the electric vehicle tax credit in 2008, policymakers designed it as an infant industry credit.A new Institute for Energy Research report suggests that repealing IRA-specific EV subsidies could save taxpayers $300 billion over the next decade.
The PJM Interconnection on Friday said it selected 51 projects to join a fast-track interconnection review process as part of a broad effort to ensure the grid operator has adequate supplies to meet its needs. PJM has been warning that it faces looming power supply shortfalls as its supply isn’t keeping up with demand. That dynamic was...
The future of affordable, reliable, clean energy should not depend on the government. Instead, it should depend on consumers' choices. While governments can help by enacting policies that empower and reduce barriers to clean energy development, businesses and individual consumers will be the fundamental drivers of change, demanding cleaner, more sustainable energy.
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...
