Results for "climate crisis"
Nuclear fusion record broken by UK scientists
In a major breakthrough, scientists have demonstrated sustained nuclear fusion energy, providing hope for future large-scale projects.
Taking the next step to renewable energy products
Shifting away from fossil fuels to renewable energy products will not only help address harmful emissions, but unwanted chemical exposure.
Small modular reactors offer no hope for nuclear energy
Many believe that small modular reactors will help solve the energy crisis, but this belief is grossly optimistic.
Investing in clean energy research: How likely are we to phase out fossil fuels?
Major world economies are investing more in green technologies, but how optimistic should we be?
Materials discovery dilemma: Seeing the forest for the trees
While some would contend that materials discovery will breathe life into a hydrogen economy, it cannot realize its full potential unless production becomes less costly and more efficient.
Building new reservoirs can have unexpected consequences on water security
Any discussion about the role of new reservoirs must focus on the creation of new unsustainable demand.
