The U.S. Department of Energy is advancing plans to repurpose surplus plutonium from the Cold War era as fuel for advanced nuclear reactors, marking a major shift in how the government approaches long-term nuclear material management. Rather than continuing to treat excess plutonium solely as waste requiring disposal, federal officials are now exploring ways to….

Meta is making a major push into next-generation energy solutions, announcing new partnerships aimed at powering its growing data center footprint with innovative, always-on clean energy. The company has secured early access to a new form of energy generation that captures solar power in space and transmits it back to Earth, marking one of the….

The United States has expanded its role in global energy markets with the launch of a new liquefied natural gas (LNG) export terminal, marking another step in the country’s growing influence as a major energy supplier. The Golden Pass facility, now the tenth LNG export terminal in the U.S., has begun shipping cargoes shortly after….

California’s natural gas market is entering a period of heightened pressure as supply limitations and shifting demand patterns continue to reshape pricing and reliability across the state. Unlike many other regions in the United States, California relies heavily on imported natural gas and operates with limited in-state storage and pipeline capacity. This structural dependence makes….

Natural gas prices surged across global markets this week following an attack that forced the shutdown of the world’s largest liquefied natural gas (LNG) export facility. The disruption sparked immediate concern among energy traders and governments alike, pushing international gas benchmarks sharply higher as markets reacted to the sudden loss of supply. Despite the global….

The ongoing conflict involving Iran and responses by the U.S. and Israel have begun to reshape global energy markets, with liquefied natural gas (LNG) supplies and prices taking center stage. Attacks on energy infrastructure and threats to key shipping routes have disrupted flows of oil and gas through the Persian Gulf, particularly the Strait of….

U.S. natural gas prices have shifted notably in recent months as winter weather patterns and global demand dynamics influence the market. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration’s latest outlooks, benchmark Henry Hub prices are expected to average around $3.90 per million British thermal units (MMBtu) through the winter season and rise further to about….

Japan has taken a major step in reviving its nuclear energy sector with the restart of Reactor No. 6 at the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Plant — the first such restart by Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) since the 2011 Fukushima disaster. The plant, located in Niigata Prefecture and known as the world’s largest nuclear facility….

The Environmental Protection Agency has announced a major change in how it evaluates air pollution regulations, saying it will no longer assign a monetary value to the health benefits of reducing harmful pollution such as fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and ground-level ozone. Instead, the agency will focus only on the economic costs to industry when….

The race to develop nuclear fusion — a potentially limitless and clean source of power — is heating up, with China aggressively scaling up investment and research in ways that are forcing the United States to respond. Recent reporting highlights how Chinese government planners and scientists are pouring substantial resources into fusion science, aiming to….
