Nuclear energy holds immense potential to meet growing energy demands, and researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory are working on a breakthrough technology that could revolutionize the recycling of nuclear fuel and other valuable materials. Their research focuses on a smaller, more localized approach to recovering uranium, transuranic elements, and...
The world needs more energy. Whether delivering electricity to a community in Africa for the first time or powering the data center revolution, energy access is essential for human flourishing. While many global politicians and business leaders talk about an energy transition, economic reality demonstrates that the world is headed for an energy expansion. We need energy of all kinds—above and below the ground.
“Under President Trump’s leadership, the Department of Energy is taking critical steps every day to help American families prosper,” DOE Secretary Chris Wright said in a statement. “By removing burdensome regulations put in place by the Biden administration, we are returning freedom of choice to the American people, ensuring consumers can choose the home appliances that work best for their lives...
But there is a way to move even more quickly. The place to unleash new technology is on land already controlled and secured by the U.S. government: American military bases and National Laboratories. With the stroke of a pen, the administration could open up the development of data centers co-located with new energy projects at these locations.
Computers are consuming more power, generating more heat, and demanding greater efficiency than silicon alone can provide. Now, the industry is seeking alternatives, and one material stands out as a potential game-changer: graphene.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently announced a slew of actions aimed at curtailing climate-related regulation, including repealing the Social Cost of Carbon (SCC), the metric regulators use to estimate the economic benefits of avoiding climate change and determine whether climate regulation is worth its burdens. While one could argue that the EPA’s move is purely political, the reason...
Renewable energy projects in Rajasthan, India’s leading solar state, are expected to become more expensive and face delays due to a recent amendment to the state’s land registration laws, industry experts said. The Rajasthan government has made it compulsory for companies to pay stamp duty when signing an agreement for sale or leasing land for...
President Trump on Thursday signed an executive order intended to boost production of critical minerals in the United States and confirmed a deal to gain access to minerals in Ukraine was still on track. Trump signed the order behind closed doors at the White House. A spokesperson said the order would streamline permitting to allow...
“SOLIS 109 is a first-of-its-kind marketplace connecting a broad range of individual, residential, and commercial consumers with renewable and sustainable products and services,” Burrington explained. “We have just launched our pilot website and mobile app and are now building a robust vendor base before launching to the public in the coming months.”
President Donald Trump’s administration has granted Venture Global LNG Inc. conditional approval to export natural gas from a planned facility in Louisiana that had stalled under former President Joe Biden. Energy Secretary Chris Wright authorized the exports from the company’s CP2 project on Wednesday, saying in a statement the measure was critical to restoring US energy dominance. “The benefits of expanding...
