Puerto Rico’s Power Crisis: A New Hope for Reliable Energy

2 January 2025

The start of 2025 revealed the vulnerabilities of Puerto Rico's power grid. On New Year’s Eve, a staggering 90% of the island found itself without electricity, affecting over 1.3 million residents during what should have been a festive occasion. While power was restored on January 1, the blackout highlighted an urgent need for dependable energy solutions.In December, Convergent Energy and Power made significant strides toward addressing this instability by securing a conditional commitment from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). This partnership could result in a groundbreaking solar and battery storage project, with loan guarantees amounting to $559.4 million.Transformative energy initiatives are on the horizon. A flagship solar power project in Coamo is set to feature a 100-megaw

Is Ohio Making a Green Move? The Debatable Role of Nuclear Energy

Edward Green

2 January 2025

Ohio's environmental landscape is undergoing a significant transformation with a contentious new law. House Bill 308, recently signed into law, adds nuclear power to Ohio's definition of "green" energy. The law's sponsors argue that it aims to position Ohio as a favorable location for nuclear research and innovation. However, concerns have been raised about the broader repercussions of this classification.Critics, including members of various environmental organizations, worry that this redefinition could mislead the public and redirect financial resources away from renewable energy initiatives. The opposition emphasizes that the legislation doesn’t promise any actual financial benefits but simply rebrands nuclear energy.Faced with the backdrop of House Bill 6, which undermined the
