How Trump’s EO 14300 Is Reshaping NRC Nuclear Licensing and Regulation

Wed, 20 May 2026 12:56:05 +0000

A year after President Trump signed Executive Order (EO) 14300 directing the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to cut red tape and speed nuclear deployment, the agency is claiming a string of historic firsts, a backlog of rules in motion at unprecedented scale, and an internal reorganization due to take effect next month. In a news […]

Record Power Burn Expected This Summer as Coal Retirements and Data Centers Drive Gas Demand

Thu, 14 May 2026 20:43:26 +0000

U.S. natural gas supply is expected to reach a record 117 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) this summer, including 111.7 Bcf/d of dry gas production, but growing demand from liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports, data center load, industrial activity, and power generation is absorbing much of that growth, leaving less gas available for storage […]

Beyond Carbon: How Emerging Fuels and Technologies Can Help

Tue, 05 May 2026 14:27:47 +0000

For years, the case for emerging fuels and technologies has often been told through the lens of decarbonization. That lens still matters, but it does not reflect the entire value proposition. Energy strategy is now being shaped by artificial intelligence (AI)/data centers, policy volatility, geopolitical disruption, supply-chain constraints, rising system complexity, and rapidly rising demand, […]

The POWER Interview: Solving the Problem of Fuel for Nuclear Reactors

Mon, 27 Apr 2026 17:58:28 +0000

The U.S. Dept. of Energy’s Office of Nuclear Energy has spelled out several areas that present challenges to domestic and global development of nuclear power. Chief among those issues is building a process that enables fuel development on a repeatable, industrial scale, so that projects can move beyond the demonstration phase to commercial operation.

Cuba’s First Biomethane Plant: Renewable Fuel for Buses and Electricity

Fri, 24 Apr 2026 12:56:45 +0000

The Cuban state-owned Cuba Petroleo (Cupet) announced in April 2026, via its Facebook page, that Cuba’s first biomethane plant, located in the municipality of Martí, Matanzas province, has progressed to its final assembly and production phase. Edrey Rocha González, Cupet’s general director, supervised the work on this facility, designed to produce biomethane to fuel buses […]
