The building materials sector is highly energy-intensive, responsible for over one-third (37 percent) of global energy-related emissions. According to a 2023 report from the UN Environment Programme, the buildings and construction industry is the world’s largest emitter of CO2.
America’s solar capacity has been rising—in 2023, solar panels generated enough energy to power 22 million homes, eight times more than in 2014. While that is impressive, solar still only produces roughly 4 percent of our nation’s total electricity. However, a recent development in anti-reflective coatings could improve solar efficiency and increase that percentage.
America’s farmland is an irreplaceable part of our natural heritage. The U.S. is home to more than 10 percent of the entire planet’s agricultural land, and it is essential that conservation efforts empower and support, not hinder, the farmers and ranchers who depend on it.
America and the rest of the world need a comprehensive response to China’s overfishing and aggressive fishing tactics, which overwhelm competitors and threaten biodiversity.
Far too often, we get caught up in emotion and fiction. Take, for instance, the Three Mile Island nuclear energy generation facility incident that occurred in the early morning hours of March 28, 1979.
With marathon markup sessions in full swing, these draft bills telegraph the direction of the reconciliation process and the negotiating points for the House Republicans.
Technology and energy have always been inseparable. Every breakthrough, from the first sailing ships to modern AI, has required energy to power its development and widespread use. In 2025, as computing and AI take center stage, the demand for energy is surging to unprecedented levels. But is this growth sustainable?
Few laws have proven as contentious as the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) of 2022. The IRA was passed exclusively by Democrats, with Republicans voicing concerns over its cost. Following the November 2024 election, Republican leadership eyed repeal or phase-out of individual IRA provisions in 2025.
Kairos Power made history on May 8 as the first small modular reactor (SMR) developer to pour concrete for a U.S. advanced reactor.
Mineral exploration and production have long been an arduous process. An AI-based metals discovery platform is now streamlining the exploration phase, slashing the time and cost of identifying viable mineral deposits for mining companies.
