Residents of the Japanese coastal city of Fukuoka are pioneering the world’s first full-sized osmotic power plant — which generates electricity by mixing fresh water with saltwater. The plant, which opened on August 5, generates about 880,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity per year, enough to run a nearby desalination facility and supply about 220 nearby homes. The concept of osmotic power is

Boasting that Texas “has built more wind power than any state and is a top contender for the most solar power,” a Texas Tribune article bemoans a decline in federal subsidies for such energy sources and a potential loss of “billions in investments and thousands of jobs.” Interestingly, the writers focus on business interests of the climate

Whether China’s threat to restrict export of rare earth minerals materializes or is resolved through trade negotiations, the episode underscores the fragility of U.S. supply chains and the importance of developing domestic sources. Nowhere is this more evident than in the energy sector where climate policies have made dozens of countries more reliant on imports than

The following is a guest article by Paul McDonnold. Despite having brains that weigh less than a paperclip, bees seem to understand Economics 101. A single worker, beating its wings hundreds of times per second, can visit thousands of flowers per day to gather scarce resources of pollen and nectar for conversion into a valuable

Instead, they got a man-made disaster, a deliberate slowdown of

President Trump was not a happy camper when he stepped off a faulty escalator on his way to address the United Nations General Assembly recently. By the time he had finished speaking, many in that self-important assemblage were in an even worse mood. Trump was not the only world leader firing bullets into the UN’s

Practitioners of rigorous scientific methodology – from the 17th century’s Galileo to 1965’s winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics, Richard Feynman – would consider today’s climate research an embarrassment, shaped by uncritical orthodoxy and zealotry rather than genuine testing of hypotheses. Classical science welcomes skepticism. It thrives in an environment where debate and revision

Politicians, celebrities and billionaires who lecture about carbon footprints operate by a separate set of rules. Living in ostentatious opulence, they exude spectacular hypocrisy that is rarely challenged by media outlets amplifying their climate warnings. Even scientists fly thousands of miles to United Nations climate conferences, adding to emissions of greenhouse gases they claim are destroying

The following is a guest article by Ronald Stein and Sid Abma. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and data centers are coming, and so are the natural gas power plants that will be required to provide continuous, uninterruptible electricity to power many of these facilities. These power plants today can operate at well over 90% energy efficiency.
