Norway’s Voldsfjorden, two sun circles float alongside cod pens and turn an aquaculture site into an offshore power station. Typically solar panels should be installed on…
Small solar panels power stations, with antennas that dip into frozen darkness across Greenland’s ice sheet. They are designed to detect radio flashes from ultra-high-energy neutrinos…
Three floating wind turbines stand in the Atlantic some 12 miles off the coast of northern Portugal, with marine life swimming beneath. Offshore wind is frequently…
On April 8, 2024, the Moon caused a twilight to occur during the day in Texas, and the electric grid responded almost instantaneously. Solar farms typically…
Oyster cages were carried from the Chesapeake Bay by a floating platform in Baltimore harbor for months. Oysters are typically kept in stationary cages and food…
A sampling frame was pressed against the bottom of a solar floater in the Dutch North Sea. The platforms above floated on the water like a…
Water flooded a concrete chamber in Idaho’s Dworshak Dam that has been dry for about 50 years. A powerhouse with an empty bay inside can appear…
In a remote western Australian location, rows of solar panels feed electricity towards machines that listen beyond Earth. Solar power typically is the answer to an…
In seconds, a hailstone can hit a solar panel and cause damage that can last for a long time. Homeowners tend to look at the panel’s…
A tawny cat moved between rows of solar equipment after dark, its presence captured only by a remote camera. Solar plants may seem like places wildlife…
A small fox emerged beside rows of solar panels on California’s Carrizo Plain, where industrial development had transformed a once-familiar landscape. Solar farms are often assumed…
A grid of fenced solar panel fields crisscrosses the map of northwestern New Mexico, with GPS tracks circling them. In the case of bigger animals, a…
For years, large-scale green hydrogen projects have run into the same wall: complex custom engineering, extended timelines, and total system costs that frequently approached or exceeded…
On May 20, 2022, the Palisades Power Plant in Covert, Michigan, went offline — not quietly, but after a site and world record 577 consecutive days…
At Prescott Regional Airport, an aircraft takes off or lands every 68 seconds. Perched a mile above sea level and ringed by mountains, it’s one of…
Surrounded by mountains and sitting a mile above sea level, Prescott Regional Airport is one of Arizona’s busiest aviation centers — with a plane taking off…
Somewhere between the drill bit and the surface, a thin barrier of hardened material is all that stands between pressurized underground fluids and the world above.…
In Karnes County, South Texas, a major Eagle Ford operator faced a problem quietly familiar across the basin: high-viscosity friction reducers can lower treating pressures and…
Dozens of solar and energy storage manufacturers lined the halls of Capitol Hill this week for the Solar Energy Industries Association’s American Solar and Storage Manufacturing…
In the Bakken shale, electric submersible pumps don’t just wear out — they suffocate. High gas-to-oil ratios flood the pump intake, starve the impellers of liquid,…
Beneath the hiking trails and autumn ridgelines of the Appalachian Mountains, something of enormous industrial consequence may have been sitting quietly underfoot for more than 300…
For more than half a century, every commercial nuclear project in the United States that sought federal construction permits went through the same grueling process: a…
When Elon Musk unveiled the Solar Roof in 2016, the pitch was hard to resist: tiles indistinguishable from premium slate, silently generating electricity, costing less than…
Somewhere in the oil patch, gas that could power a city burns off into the night sky. Across industrial corridors, smokestacks release carbon dioxide that existing…
Millions of solar panels installed during the early boom years of renewable energy are now approaching the end of their working lives — and the industry…
Deep inside an Alberta SAGD well, conditions are engineered — almost accidentally — to destroy equipment. Temperatures climb toward 250°C. Thermal swings of up to 140°C…
For decades, the refinery on the outskirts of Bakersfield, California, did what refineries do: it turned crude oil into diesel. Now, that same site is being…
In sustainable aviation fuel production, one cost dominates all others: electrolysis alone accounts for more than half of total e-SAF expenses. That single fact has shaped…
Beneath the Earth’s surface, vast reservoirs of hydrogen may have been quietly accumulating for millions of years — formed through natural geological processes, untouched by industry,…
Stretching for thousands of kilometers through Sweden’s forests, the cleared strips beneath high-voltage power lines look, at first glance, like exactly what they are: the price…
Mark Lashier grew up in Farragut, Iowa — a farming town of roughly 500 people — about as far from the executive floors of a major…
Every day, industrial inspectors squeeze cameras into jet engines, power turbines, and aging pipelines — making do with tools that rarely handle every job well. Switch…
For decades, rare earth elements did their work in silence — tucked inside electric motors, defense guidance systems, and the magnets that make AI data centers…
Beneath the Bakken Formation, an operator was preparing to pump hydraulic fracturing treatments across a multi-well pad — millions of dollars committed to splitting rock in…
