Clean technology was on full display last week. In addition to global and state leaders, Climate Week attendees include many potential clean technology customers and stakeholders. Furthermore, New York City is a global hub for venture capitalists looking for their next opportunity. There were many pitches going on, and I … [continued]
In reading about sustainable energy and writing about it, there have been some happy news stories where former landfills are outfitted with solar power arrays and where abandoned coal mines also are found to have solar power potential. Rivian is involved with one such project as reported on this site. … [continued]
New Awards from DOE Will Support Acceleration of Commercial Fusion Energy Toward Viability The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced $107 million in funding for six projects in the Fusion Innovative Research Engine (FIRE) Collaboratives, and that several privately funded fusion companies have completed early critical-path science and technology … [continued]
The U.S. Department of Energy announced some big nuclear fusion news this week. It is truly gigantic scientific news, and I don’t intend to downplay the breakthrough at all here. I’m amazed and thrilled U.S. scientists were able to produce net-positive energy for a brief moment in a laser-based nuclear … [continued]
A DOE lab has created a fusion event that created more energy than it consumes — something that has never happened before.
In August of 2021 at Lawrence Livermore National Lab in California, a nuclear fusion milestone was achieved. Researchers at the lab’s National Ignition Facility created a yield of over 1.3 megajoules. It was the first time the researchers had achieved this yield. Three peer-reviewed papers were published about the fusion … [continued]
Fusion has an amazing future as a source of energy. In space craft beyond the orbit of Jupiter sometime in the next two centuries.
There ain’t no such thing as a free lunch, but a new hydrogen-boron solution for “clean” nuclear fusion energy could come pretty close.
Tokamak Energy in the UK powered up its ST40 nuclear fusion machine this week and was able to obtain what it calls “first plasma.” It hopes to get to 100 million degrees Celsius by next year.
For years, HBO’s investigative news series, VICE, has given viewers a glimpse of how climate change is impacting the world. From glacier melt in Greenland and Antarctica, to rising seas in Bangladesh, VICE has provided alarming documentation that our planet is, indeed, in trouble. But last Friday, Shane Smith, VICE’s co-founder … [continued]
