WASHINGTON, D.C. — DOE Gives $2.5 Billion Loan To Help Finance EV Battery Plants In Michigan, Ohio And Tennessee. Ultium Cells, a joint venture between General Motors and LG Energy Solution, will manage battery cell production at the three facilities to address the growing U.S. consumer demand for electric vehicles. The project is expected to
WASHINGTON, D.C. — A major scientific breakthrough decades in the making was announced Dec. 13 when the first controlled fusion experiment in history produced more energy than the laser energy used to create it at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, paving the way for a clean energy future. The announcement came from the U.S. Department of
WASHINGTON DC - NASA has awarded the Texas-based company ICON $57.2 million for its Project Olympus, which is working to develop technology that will allow humanity to build outposts on the moon and Mars using locally available dirt and rock. "To change the space exploration paradigm from 'there and back again' to 'there to stay,'
ORLANDO, Fla. - As a direct result of social media and the prevalence of cellphone cameras, we’re seeing more and more videos of supposed UFOs. Recently, a woman in the Orlando, Florida area captured photos and videos of a massive craft hovering in plain sight. However, no one else seemed to notice. If they noticed,
DETROIT - A team of scientists from Hudson Carbon, a research center in upstate New York that studies carbon storage, say cannabis could be the missing player in humanity’s fight against climate change. How? Hemp absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere more than twice as effectively as trees. Although the U.S. only accounts for about
NEW YORK - Renewables are on track to generate more power than coal in the United States this year. But the question is whether they can grow fast enough to meet the country’s climate goals. Supply chain constraints and trade disputes have slowed wind and solar installations, raising questions about the United States' ability to
SILVER PEAK, Nevada - Salty water gurgles quietly through a pipe across a dry lakebed and into a Caribbean-blue pond. It's carrying an element that is crucial to the electric car revolution and, suddenly, one of the world's hottest commodities: lithium. Silver Peak, halfway between Reno and Las Vegas, may not resemble most people's mental
BOSTON - A discovery by MIT researchers could finally unlock the door to the design of a new kind of rechargeable lithium battery that is more lightweight, compact, and safe than current versions, and that has been pursued by labs around the world for years. The key to this potential leap in battery technology is
NEW YORK - The global energy crisis is driving a sharp acceleration in installations of renewable power, with total capacity growth worldwide set to almost double in the next five years, overtaking coal as the largest source of electricity generation along the way and helping keep alive the possibility of limiting global warming to 1.5
NEW YORK - A half century later, humans are finally returning to the Moon. At least, that’s the plan. The soon-to-be-completed Artemis 1 mission has kicked off our lunar reconciliation, and the upcoming Peregrine 1 mission could mark the first vehicle to touch down on the Moon since the Apollo program. Things will look a lot
