Why Small Modular Reactors Are Becoming a National Security Priority
For decades, energy policy in Washington was debated on the basis of economics, climate change, and domestic politics. That era is over.

Several U.S. states are concerned about the rapid expansion of data centres, as consumers pressure legislators to address rising utility bills and other energy concerns.

Solar Is the Cheapest Power in History, But States Are Retreating From It
A high-stakes push-and-pull is taking place in the United States clean energy sector as state-level laws, federal-level policy, and that infamous invisible hand all tug in different directions. A staggering amount of different legal actions on the part of the Trump administration, the judicial system, and state politicians have created an incredibly complex landscape for clean energy adoption across the country. And while the economics of renewables are looking better than ever, the political...
The Real Reason BP Is Retreating From the North Sea
BP is still considering a sale of all or part of its UK upstream portfolio, which could fetch around £2 billion ($2.7 billion), though talks of a sale to Ithaca Energy fell through earlier this month, according to reports by Bloomberg and the Financial Times.

At the same time, BP has been pushing...
