In 2021, Idaho National Laboratory committed to achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2031. But reaching net-zero greenhouse gas emissions at an organization the size of INL is no easy task. The laboratory occupies a space roughly 85% the size of Rhode Island. In terms of people and infrastructure — roughly [...]

Kenya Stump, an executive with the Kentucky Energy and Environment Cabinet for over 17 years, has seen the volatility of coal as an energy source: shrinking demand, plant closures, job losses and tougher pollution controls. Utilities have responded to that pressure by relying more on natural gas plants because they [...]
Kenya Stump, an executive with the Kentucky Energy and Environment Cabinet for over 17 years, has seen the volatility of coal as an energy source: shrinking demand, plant closures, job losses and tougher pollution controls. Utilities have responded to that pressure by relying more on natural gas plants because they are cheaper and cleaner than […]
Matthew Balderree first encountered drones in 2004 as a technical sergeant in the U.S. Air Force working with an early warning and airspace management radar system in Iraq. For Balderree, that airspace included predator drones, unmanned aircrafts used in numerous military conflicts starting in 1995. In the Air Force, new [...]

Imagine a future where the energy powering your home is the same energy that lights up the stars. This isn’t science fiction. It’s the promise of fusion, and it’s closer than you think. Fusion is the process of combining atomic nuclei to form heavier atoms, releasing substantial amounts of energy. [...]
