As more Polar Vortices, Bomb Cyclones and massive hurricanes pummel America, nuclear plants keep putting out max power when other sources can’t. Last month, the Pacific Northwest’s onlynuclear plantwas ordered to keep the heat during record cold and snow because wind and gas couldn’t keep up.

Solar is Changing The Way We Power Our Nation Solar panels seem like their made for the Sunbelt. Yet, solar panels perform well across the country. Even in cold, northern latitudes and rainy climates, solar power is a reliable and resilient energy source. A solar installation generates clean, renewable energy—year round. Solar panels actually produce electricity more efficiently in cold weather.

In today's industrial landscape, the pursuit of sustainable energy optimization and decarbonization has become paramount. Manufacturing corporations across the U.S. are facing the urgent need to align with decarbonization goals while enhancing efficiency and productivity. Unfortunately, the lack of comprehensive energy data poses a significant challenge for manufacturing managers striving to meet their targets.

Systems and Loops Systems are continuous loops. Unintended consequences are just scenarios we did not consider during our development of the system. Human actions are part of the continuous loop of systems and they are a critical input in the assessment of the possible outputs or direction which a system will go in. The water system is a simple but complex one that, due to the continuous action of humans, is constantly having to adapt to maintain balance.

A lot has been written about the plight of the blue-collar worker. Replaced by forces of globalization and technology, they’ve been depicted over the last decade as largely out of work and facing an unsure, even catastrophic future. The truth, however, is that the future for American blue-collar workers is teeming with a new kind of opportunity defined by jobs more aptly categorized as “green-collar” instead of blue.

California proposes phasing out the use of SF6 in GIE and further reducing allowable GHG emissions from such equipment. By Aron Potash and Kimberly D. Farbota. California Air Resources Board (CARB) staff recently published a discussion draft (Draft Amendments) of potential changes to the current Regulation for Reducing Sulfur Hexafluoride Emissions from Gas Insulated Switchgear (SF6 Regulation).
Speaker: Ayesha Choudhury - Senior Vice President, Head of Capital Markets at Infinium
With the first wave of the energy transition, renewable energy sources (such as solar and wind) have begun replacing coal power generation. However, some sectors are lagging behind and struggling to decarbonize more than others, including large-scale transportation like commercial aviation, shipping, and rail transit. Electrofuels (aka eFuels) are the next generation of solutions to help the hardest-to-abate sectors pivot from their reliance on fossil fuels.

(I posted this last month on my MIT Sloan Management Review column. It's an interesting story about how a company's sustainability efforts can help improve brand value with customers and drive sales. To be honest, I wasn't sure if the results here are, in fact, "a huge deal" as described below. I know there are not many examples like this, so i'm inclined to see it as important -- and I've heard from people in a few sectors who want to duplicate the result/finding.
