"Germany's plight is disturbing testimony of where you can end up if you commit yourself to a vision of a 'green' future that has no place in it for the most reliable source of clean-ish electricity. By contrast, neighboring France plans to build as many as 14 new nuclear reactors because of, not despite, its environmental goals."
Europe Turns to an Unlikely Source to Replace Russian Energy: Ukraine
"Maxim Timchenko, DTEK’s chief executive, said that once the statcoms or batteries are in place, exports can rise slowly to 1.6 gigawatts a day, up from current deliveries of about 350 megawatts a day to Poland and Moldova, and that they could rise further if more power lines to Europe are restored. 'Ukraine can become one of the major suppliers of clean energy to the European countries,' he said."
Ten Policies to Unleash American Energy and Fuel Recovery
"This is a framework for new American energy leadership – for our nation and for America’s friends abroad – supporting investment and creating new resource access while avoiding unnecessarily restricted energy growth due to government policies and regulation. It’s time to lead."
History and Future of Nuclear Energy
"The future of nuclear power is exciting, hopeful, and integral for reaching the worldwide goal of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050."
Energy Secretary Urges Oil Companies to Address High Gasoline Prices
"Mr. Biden’s options to ease prices in the coming months are limited, according to analysts and economists. U.S. refining capacity has declined to about 17.9 million barrels a day as of the beginning of 2022, down about 5.4% from the start of 2020, according to the Energy Information Administration."
Politics Could Speed Up Clean Energy. They May Also Slow It Down.
"Yet there are signs of progress in other areas. One key bottleneck is approval for transmission lines: A record 1,400 gigawatts of total generation and storage capacity are currently seeking interconnection to the grid, more than the current U.S. generating capacity of 1,200 gigawatts, according to a new paper from Berkeley Lab. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission is now working on a series of proposed rule changes to streamline the processes for approving transmission lines."
