- 1Commentary argues Trump is boosting a renewable energy golden age▼COMMENTARY: Trump Is Aiding a Golden Age for Renewable Energy
A new commentary piece argues that despite expectations to the contrary, Donald Trump's policies are helping usher in a golden age for renewable energy in the United States. The piece suggests market forces and policy dynamics under his administration are accelerating solar, wind and storage deployment rather than slowing it, challenging the prevailing narrative that his return to office spells trouble for clean energy.
- 2Particle Accelerators Could Cut Nuclear Waste Danger to Centuries▼Radioactive Waste from Nuclear Energy Lasts for 100,000 Years but Particle Accelerators Could Slash That Timeline to a Few Centuries
Scientists are highlighting a proposal to use particle accelerators to transmute long-lived radioactive waste from nuclear energy, potentially reducing its hazardous lifespan from around 100,000 years to just a few centuries. The idea, known as accelerator-driven transmutation, is being discussed as a way to ease one of nuclear power's biggest drawbacks: the need to store spent fuel safely for many millennia.
