“We made oil and gas great again through the shale revolution. We can make nuclear energy great again through nuclear recycling. A decade ago, America was on the brink of energy decline. We were dependent on foreign oil, vulnerable to geopolitical shocks, and burdened by high energy costs. Then came the shale revolution—an American innovation...
However, the United States can now boast of being the only country that has been able to couple nuclear power with desalination. Better yet, the nuclear reactor itself desalinates the water.
A volunteer advisory group told the utility that serves Colorado’s second-largest city that it should look at adding a small nuclear reactor for additional power generation.

A ‘Sputnik moment’ calls for unified national action toward a goal. And with a new President with a strong penchant for industrial policy, it is a...
On February 12th, Shell released a report detailing three visions for how the future of energy security could proceed. The report included the new scenario, “Surge,” and re-published two modified scenarios, “Archipelagos” and “Horizon,” describing the future of the energy economy. Each scenario describes a vision for the energy economy based upon a narrative foundation of the world.
From the ferries that cross the Puget Sound in the Pacific Northwest to the commuter ferries that let people travel to and from their Manhattan workplaces in New York City, these small ships use coastal waters to get Americans where they need to go.
