Iowa Faces Critical Decision on Power Generation, Scientists Warn Scientists are asserting that Iowa is at a critical juncture concerning power generation as electricity demand increases. The annual climate assessment released Tuesday, September 15th, highlights what researchers call a “fork in the road” – a choice between expanding renewable energy resources or constructing new fossil-fuel

Great River Energy (GRE) is helping move Minnesota toward a cleaner energy future, but its current proposed plan still has room for improvement. GRE is a generation and transmission energy cooperative that supplies electricity to approximately 1.7 million Minnesotans across roughly two-thirds of the state’s geography. As an electric cooperative (co-op), GRE is self-governed by […]

The U.S. electric grid spent two decades optimizing for stability, not growth. Now AI data centers are demanding gigawatts fast, and the system simply was not built for this. From years-long interconnection queues to gas turbines backordered through 2028, the collision is reshaping who controls Americas energy future. https://qz.com/ai-data-centers-electric-grid-regulation-policy

New York's electricity needs will require significant investments in power generation and transmission infrastructure, according to a report released July 23 by the New York Independent System Operator. The 2025-2044 System & Resource Outlook assesses various future scenarios considering factors like demand growth, resource development, technology availability, and policy implementation. A consistent trend across these

SPRINGFIELD – Following Illinois’ recent repeal of its ban on new nuclear power plants, Governor JB Pritzker has directed state agencies to identify communities interested in hosting new facilities. Nine communities have indicated a willingness to explore potential sites, including those already home to nuclear power plants and areas transitioning away from coal-fired energy production.

Survey shows skepticism over the pipeline plan as the Alberta government prepares a July 1 application for the project, which has yet to secure a private-sector backer.

Nuclear power continues to be a significant contributor to both the national and Texas energy landscapes. Nuclear fission, the process of splitting atoms to produce heat and power, currently supplies 20 percent of all electricity generated in the United States. In Texas, nuclear power accounts for roughly 10 percent of the daily energy mix managed

Ontario Advances Nuclear Project with $300 Million Agreement Ontario has instructed the Independent Electricity System Operator to establish a cost-sharing and reimbursement agreement with Bruce Power to facilitate preliminary development activities for the proposed Bruce C Nuclear Project. The agreement is expected to cover approximately C$300 million, which is roughly equivalent to USD $220 million.

What if clean, abundant energy is not just a future goal—but something that has been explored, discovered, or even overlooked in the past? In this intriguing and forward-thinking episode, Patrick J. Sullivan explores Free Energy: Here, Now, and Then, examining ideas around alternative energy, innovation, and the possibility of untapped power sources. Drawing from historical references, emerging concepts, and speculative technologies, Patrick discusses how the pursuit of free or low-cost energy has captured the imagination of inventors and researchers for generations. He explores the challenges of bringing unconventional energy ideas into the mainstream, as well as the debates surrounding feasibility, practicality, and acceptance. This episode invites listeners to think beyond current systems. Are there energy solutions that remain unexplored or underdeveloped? What barriers exist to innovation in this space? And how might breakthroughs in energy reshape the way we live, work, and interact with the world? Join us for a thought-provoking conversation that looks at the possibilities of energy beyond conventional limits—where curiosity meets innovation, and where the future of power may be more dynamic than we imagine.
