Recent articles report on U.S. clean energy manufacturing plans as cancellations reshape the pipeline, and on a PJM proposal to curtail some data centers before pre-emergency measures. Nuclear stories range from fourth-generation reactors to a Chinese laser project designed to mimic the power of the sun and debate over a fusion breakthrough.
Storage gets steady attention, with coverage of a century-long battery developed in China and manganese-based sodium batteries. Product reviews, such as the Ampace Andes power station, and Microsoft’s plan to turn human waste into a carbon offset round out the mix. Readers interested in the grid should start with the PJM and manufacturing pieces.
