A new study on DTBird, an advanced detection and deterrent system, reveals significant potential for reducing eagle collisions at wind farms. Conducted from 2017 to 2024, the research spanned two locations: the Manzana Wind Power Project in California and Goodnoe Hills Wind Farm in Washington. DTBird’s automated system uses cameras to detect birds and deploys...
New Technological Developments Could Help Lower DAC Costs
Reducing global carbon dioxide emissions is an essential part of fighting climate change. However, not every industry can easily decarbonize, so carbon capture is essential.
Direct Ocean Capture Could Amplify Natural Carbon Sinks
Our oceans are critical carbon sinks, absorbing one-quarter of all carbon dioxide emissions. But what if the ocean’s natural carbon absorption was amplified?
Has nuclear power entered a new era of acceptance amid global warming?
When Heather Hoff took a job at Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant, she was skeptical of nuclear energy — so much so that she resolved to report anything questionable to the anti-nuclear group Mothers for Peace. Instead, after working at the plant for over a decade and asking every question she could think of about...
Datacenters line up for 750MW of Oklo’s nuclear-waste-powered small reactors
Increasingly, datacenter operators are putting their faith in the promise of miniaturized nuclear power plants – better known as small modular reactors (SMRs) – to fuel their ever-growing energy demands. Sam Altman-backed SMR startup Oklo says it’s obtained letters of intent from two major – but unnamed – datacenter providers to deliver up to 750 megawatts of...
Unleashing New Potential for State Trust Lands
In October, The Property and Environment Research Center (PERC) published a report, Diversifying State Trust Land Revenue Through Conservation Uses, which examines the growing shift toward conservation-oriented management of state trust lands in the American West. These 40 million acres, granted to the states by the federal government to generate revenue for public schools and...
Project InnerSpace Launches GeoMap™ India, Revealing Substantial Prospects for Geothermal Power, Heating, and Cooling Development Across the Country
Project InnerSpace has launched GeoMap™ India, highlighting the enormous potential for untapped geothermal energy to become a crucial part of India’s clean energy mix as it seeks to spur economic growth and development by increasing energy supply. GeoMap™ is a pioneering geothermal exploration tool focused on expanding the adoption of clean, always-on geothermal energy worldwide by bringing together millions...
Navy picks Quantico for nuclear power site
The Marine Corps base at Quantico could have its own small nuclear reactor to insulate it from power outages if plans floated by the U.S. Navy earlier this month are fruitful. Quantico is one of seven Navy and Marine Corps bases, including four in Virginia, slated for its own nuclear-based power supply. The information is...
Environmental DNA Analysis Could Improve Conditions For America’s Farmed Fish
Researchers are using environmental DNA analysis to monitor the ocean surrounding fish farms without using much equipment or manpower.
First-of-its-kind geothermal plant picked to power US Air Force base
The Air Force is testing out a novel source of clean energy that could change how bases are powered nationwide while ushering in unprecedented energy resilience. As Interesting Engineering reports, The Department of the Air Force recently awarded its first contract to Sage Geosystems to determine the viability of Geopressured Geothermal Systems in powering bases. The contract is for...
