Southern Company Gas Leads Partnership To Develop Clean Hydrogen From Waste
"The DOE’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy awarded Southern Company Gas $1 million for the project, which seeks to use food waste from landfills to generate power, thereby diverting large volumes of food waste from landfills and reducing GHG emissions at the same time."
Nuclear power is key to the future of green energy in South Texas
Nuclear power is our best choice, yet it’s disappointing that there is so little discussion of its future in South Texas. To bring nuclear back into the mainstream will require bold leadership, especially from the private sector. Responsible journalism, with accurate reporting based on facts, can help considerably. We should be having an active dialogue on the future of nuclear power as a source of baseline power generation in San Antonio and Texas. To ignore nuclear power is a loss for our long-term energy planning.

Can this mineral help boost the carbon stored in oceans?
"The natural process Project Vesta is trying to encourage is the carbonate reaction. This is how CO2 from the air gets absorbed by oceans and ultimately is transformed into calcium carbonate, which eventually forms sediment and limestone on the ocean floor, sequestering carbon out of the atmosphere for long-term storage."
Green hydrogen costs could reach parity in a decade, report finds
"A new analysis by the ICF Climate Center, shared exclusively with Axios, shows that the cost of zero-carbon, green hydrogen could reach parity with more greenhouse-gas intensive ways of making the gas in as little as the next decade."
As Bitcoin looks to go ‘green,’ some miners look to nuclear power as a possible solution
"As bitcoin miners search for ways to remove the carbon emissions from the electricity they use for their many large computers, there have been some signs of interest in nuclear power as a solution."
