Voters killed a transmission megaproject to connect dirty New England to Québec's decarbonized grid. Maine's high court may have just revived it. But even if it's built, experts say the U.S. has big transmission problems new climate rules haven't fixed. huffpost.com/entry/maine-cm…

In the 2000s, a nuclear renaissance was underway. Then came Fukushima. Now war has raised radiation risks at Europe's largest nuclear plant. Will it derail atomic energy's nascent comeback? Perhaps counterintuitively, experts say this time is different. huffpost.com/entry/ukraine-…

Nike bought forest carbon offsets in Oregon as part of its climate initiative. Its founder, Phil Knight, has donated $1.75 million to timber heiress and industry ally Betsy Johnson's gubernatorial bid. huffpost.com/entry/nike-cli…

73% of captured CO2 today ends up being used to drill more oil, while just 20% goes into permanent underground storage. By 2030, thanks in part to Biden's Inflation Reduction Act, those numbers are set to completely reverse. huffpost.com/entry/joe-bide…

By his own admission, people look at Luke Warford 🚂 and think “AOC and the Green New Deal.” But the Democrat wants to be Texas’ next oil and gas industry sheriff. He’s the underdog. But he sees an opening in the Lone Star State’s deadly 2021 blackouts. huffpost.com/entry/luke-war…

Coal-addicted Poland is going nuclear, with plans to build at least 2 atomic energy stations with big traditional reactors and possibly a bunch of SMRs. The effort could help revive the U.S. nuclear industry. But many challenges ahead. W/ Akbar Shahid Ahmed: huffpost.com/entry/coal-pol…

Win for the GOP incumbent at the Texas Railroad Commission, a climate denier who pitched himself to voters as "the only Christian" in a race against a Jewish opponent. Declaring victory, he calls his win a bulwark against "unproven, politicized science." huffpost.com/entry/wayne-ch…

Biden wants to electrify all new federal buildings and has a vague plan to start decarbonizing existing ones. The move comes as a challenge to the powerful industry groups that last year seized control over the nation's building codes. huffpost.com/entry/biden-gr…

Taiwan plans to shut down all its atomic power plants in the next 2 years. But quitting nuclear has major implications for the environment and national security. Just ask a European. I traveled to Taiwan in November to see what's at stake. My story: huffpost.com/entry/taiwan-n…

All the spent nuclear fuel in the U.S. could fit in one Wal-Mart Supercenter. But there’s enough energy still contained in that waste to power the country for 150 years. Tapping it is costly and controversial. So is not doing so. A look at ☢️ recycling: huffpost.com/entry/nuclear-…

Amid growing protests against the government’s plans to strip the judiciary of its independence, Israel’s controversial new environment minister was shouted off stage at a climate summit in Be’er Sheva today. But not before she made some notable remarks: huffpost.com/entry/israel-e…

Biden could spur construction of 20,000 new homes per month built to the greenest national codes ever written, saving homeowners money and avoiding as much CO2 as Poland emits every year. Yet the administration is defying the law -- and no one knows why. huffpost.com/entry/biden-gr…

Germany just became the biggest economy yet to quit nuclear energy, ending a quarter-century struggle that began as a fight against atomic weapons and morphed into a dramatic referendum on whether a hotter world is safer with or without fission power. huffpost.com/entry/germany-…

In 2017, fossil fuel lobbyists drafted a bill designed to thwart future climate protests like #NoDAPL. Since then, 20 states put it on the books. But lawmakers now say they have a different target: neo-Nazi grid saboteurs. Experts say that's debatable. huffpost.com/entry/critical…

Biden wants new homes to be built to the nation's latest and most efficient building codes to qualify for federal housing loans. The 168,000 new homes impacted per year would 35% more energy and slash $74 million from utility bills per year. huffpost.com/entry/joe-bide…

The U.S. is running low on electrical transformers, threatening to worsen blackouts and delay the shift from fossil fuels. Demand is soaring thanks to climate change. Suppliers can't keep up, and bungled federal policies seem to be inflaming the problem. huffpost.com/entry/transfor…

The debt ceiling deal clears all hurdles for a controversial natural gas megaproject. But unlike when Joe Manchin's Mountain Valley Pipeline push last fall, the bill to approve it this time *doesn't* include policies to build out the U.S. electrical grid. huffpost.com/entry/debt-cei…

During the pandemic, fresh air and open windows were essential. Now breathing safely comes at the price of appliances and electricity that's increasingly costly and less reliable. Wildfire smoke forces Americans to choose: Choke, roast indoors, or pay up. huffpost.com/entry/wildfire…

Nine years after VP Biden promised the Caribbean middle-class prosperity via cheap American energy, his White House is pitching a different vision. Analysts from 🇧🇧 and 🇱🇨 told me they're "not impressed." Meanwhile, 🇵🇷 still lacks reliable electricity. huffpost.com/entry/us-carib…
