This recent Request for Information on the siting of AI infrastructure on DOE lands is an example of the Department of Energy setting out to do just that. In our response, C3 Solutions argued that speed-to-power should be the chief consideration when assessing the projects and that a variety of tools should be used to achieve speed-to-power.
Can Improved Data Systems Transform Sustainability Reporting in Construction?
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.
A New Precision-Engineered Surface Could Make Solar Panels More Efficient
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.
Conservation That Works for Producers and the Land
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.
China’s Overfishing Problem is Everyone’s Problem
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.
Just the Facts on Nuclear Energy
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.
A Short Overview of Energy-Related Provisions in the Reconciliation Markup Text
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.
Powering tomorrow: How technology is changing the energy landscape
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?
The Inflation Reduction Act’s Energy Provisions Require Reform to Benefit Society
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.
Nuclear Energy Market Sees Win With Kairos Power Breakthrough
Kairos Power made history on May 8 as the first small modular reactor (SMR) developer to pour concrete for a U.S. advanced reactor.
