The prospect of Donald Trump’s presidency may bring significant challenges for environmental policies. With his past comments dismissing climate change as a “hoax,” many are concerned about the future of renewable energy. Trump has expressed fervent support for fossil fuels, claiming they are invaluable, while criticizing initiatives towards green energy as mere scams. However, there may be a chance for nuclear energy to gain traction under his administration. Previous discussions hinted at a complex relationship […]

Groundbreaking Nuclear Waste Facility in Finland In a pioneering effort, Finland is set to “seal the vault” for nuclear waste storage, marking a historic milestone in energy management. Situated in Eurajoki, this facility, known as Onkalo, is designed to entomb spent nuclear fuel for an astonishing 100,000 years, effectively prohibiting human access for the next 4,000 generations. This monumental project, with an investment of approximately £860 million, is being closely observed by other nations eager […]

In a significant move for sustainable energy, a groundbreaking partnership has emerged in Pennsylvania, aimed at extending the life of existing nuclear power plants. This initiative is seen as a vital strategy for enhancing the carbon-free energy supply. At the heart of the collaboration is Talen Energy, which is working to establish a data center campus adjacent to the Susquehanna nuclear facility. This innovative agreement brings a financial lifeline to the nuclear plant, ensuring it […]

Setting the Stage for an Energy Transformation In an ambitious move towards sustainable energy, Japan’s government has set its sights on generating a remarkable 20 gigawatts of electricity by implementing innovative thin and flexible perovskite solar cells by the fiscal year 2040. This bold initiative has been outlined through a draft of the updated energy policy expected to be revealed in December. The Role of Domestic Resources Japan boasts the second-largest share of iodine production […]

The ongoing debate surrounding energy leadership in South Carolina has reached a critical point, especially with recent political appointments that dismiss the pressing climate crisis. As climate-related disasters intensify, the potential of the U.S. retracting from international agreements like the Paris Accord threatens to undermine the nation’s environmental efforts. Notably, South Carolina has the potential to emerge as a pioneer in energy innovation, given its robust nuclear infrastructure. With four significant nuclear plants operational, South […]
