Plastic is cheap, but it’s an ecological, environmental, and human health disaster that actually costs Americans over $1 trillion a year, according to some estimates. By 2040, plastic waste management alone will cost the United States nearly $37 billion a year. Plastic is everywhere. We built it to be durable. We built it to be forever, and without the advanced technology to break it back down into something usable, its unstoppable production momentum will bury us all alive. Breaking down something that was manufactured to last forever has…

For years now, China has been the world’s most generous sponsor of alternative energy systems and electric vehicles. This has not only made it the biggest market for such technologies but also the biggest exporter, and that has helped the country offset economic troubles in other sectors and cement its place as the top transition player globally. China’s economy is undergoing a seismic shift, where the previously dominant real estate sector has been hit by turmoil and is no longer the engine of the country’s growth, Reuters’…

Hydropower is the quiet workhorse driving the global clean energy transition. Although it gets just a mere fraction of the media and political attention that solar and wind energy do, hydropower is by far the largest source of clean energy worldwide, and is the third-largest source of power overall, after coal and natural gas. In 2024, hydro provided nearly 15% of all the world’s electricity. However, hydropower has been declining in global energy systems. This could spell major trouble for global climate goals, not to mention energy security…

The second energy crisis in four years is further eroding Europe’s industrial competitiveness as energy costs are spiking again and undermining the European ambition to compete with the United States and China to attract AI and data center developments. Energy costs in Europe are so much higher than in the U.S. or Asia, and the grid stability is so fragile and in dire need of modernization and upgrades that many European countries are out of the competition for hosting new data/AI centers. In addition, Europe’s already congested grid…

U.S. natural gas exporters are asking Europe for something increasingly common in global energy markets these days: a timeout. American LNG suppliers want the European Union to push back enforcement of its methane emissions rules until at least 2028, arguing the regulations are already creating enough uncertainty to freeze long-term gas deals at exactly the wrong moment. Charlie Riedl, senior vice president of the Natural Gas Supply Association, said Tuesday that some U.S. companies have gone as far as telling commercial teams not to sign long-term…
