Phase 1 of the Sherco solar power plant in Minnesota has begun operations, replacing coal capacity with 220 megawatts and aiming for 710 megawatts by 2026. Co-located iron-air energy storage, capable of lasting over 100 hours, will enhance grid reliability and support renewable energy integration. Form Energy plans to produce 500 megawatts of iron-air batteries annually at its West Virginia facility, further advancing the transition from coal to cleaner energy sources.
Tech giants Microsoft, Google, and Amazon are investing heavily in small modular reactors (SMRs) to meet their growing energy demands, with Microsoft planning to reactivate a reactor at Three Mile Island and Google ordering seven SMRs from Kairos Power. While these investments signal a shift towards nuclear energy, concerns about safety, waste disposal, and the commercial viability of SMRs remain significant. As the U.S. races to catch up with China's advancements in nuclear technology, the future of SMRs is still uncertain.
Seems like the connection with the server has been lost. It can be due to poor or broken network. Please hang on while we're trying to reconnect...
Oh snap! Failed to reconnect with the server. This is typically caused by a longer network outage, or if the server has been taken down. You can try to reconnect, but if that does not work, you need to reload the page.
Oh man! The server rejected the attempt to reconnect. The only option now is to reload the page, but be prepared that it won't work, since this is typically caused by a failure on the server.
