The Trump administration and state policymakers should ease regulations on utilities The United States holds a commanding lead in data-center capacity, hosting 37% of the world’s facilities, and being home to the largest data center providers – Amazon.com (AMZN,) Microsoft (MSFT) and Alphabet (GOOG). These data centers are more than just infrastructure; they are the...
Wind power is the leading technology of the energy transition in the UK. It is the basis for the transition shift championed by the Starmer government—and it is failing because the grid operator is having to pay hundreds of millions to wind turbine operators to turn them off. The reason: there is no way to...
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), the U.K.’s Department of Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ), and the private fusion company Tokamak Energy Ltd. (TE) today announced a plan to jointly sponsor a $52 million upgrade to the ST40 experimental fusion facility to advance fusion science and technology needed to deliver a future fusion pilot plant. Fusion...
In 2009, then-Vice President Joe Biden was stumping for what was known as the stimulus bill. To paint a picture of the administration’s successes, he was championing a half-a-billion-dollar clean energy innovation project supported by the Department of Energy Loan Programs Office (LPO). That project was called Solyndra, and it promised a novel type of solar power generation. Solyndra...
We all know Texas is the energy capital of America, and we know that our ability to lead the country in so many types of energy production — oil, natural gas, wind, solar, battery storage and soon geothermal — is often in spite of federal regulations that are designed to delay and obstruct. Thankfully, the incoming Trump...
After a long and divisive election year, it’s tempting to view every policy issue as deeply polarized. Republicans see the world one way, Democrats see it another way, and never the twain shall meet.

Denmark received no bids in its largest-ever wind power tender, a major blow to European efforts to boost renewable energy and slash fossil-fuel demand. Denmark, the birthplace of offshore wind, is seeking to triple its capacity by the end of the decade. It already boasts the world’s largest share of wind in its power grid....
An innovative method for recovering rare earth elements (REEs) from mine waste promises to address pressing environmental challenges while meeting the growing demand for materials critical to the electronics industry. Researchers at Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU) have unveiled a process that extracts lanthanum, a high-demand REE, from contaminated mine tailings. The method utilizes industrial adsorbents to purify...
