For decades, companies drilling for oil & gas on federal land could abandon their wells with little consequence, sticking taxpayers with the cleanup tab. New reforms ensure companies now set aside enough $$ for cleanup before production starts. More here: taxpayer.net/energy-natural-…

The destructive fires could have grave consequences for wildlife, including the burning of "best of the best" habitat for the already imperiled sage grouse.

Why not Wyo?: Major corporate moves among Wyoming's top #thermalcoal producers @peabodyenergy and Arch Resources portend a greater focus on non-Wyoming metallurgic coal, but could stabilize what's left of the Powder River Basin coal market. - @WyoFile wyofile.com/wyoming-coal-hea…

The @NRCgov has posted my scoping comments on the environmental impact statement for the TerraPower Kemmerer-1 fast #nuclear reactor construction permit in #Wyoming. The company's own environmental report downplays the consequences of severe accidents.

A big facility for recycling lithium-ion batteries is now online in Ohio, making it the first project to hit the ribbon-cutting stage after receiving BIL funding. @cirba_solutions says its plant can recycle enough material for 250,000 new EV batteries/year canarymedia.com/articles/cle…

Do newsrooms need a public lands 101 refresher? A state can't have "its" federal land — federal land, by definition, ≠ state land

It’s #WorldHoneyBeeDay! BLM Wyoming is coordinating with partners on the Bumble Bee atlas. Bees are important pollinators and their historical ranges are declining. The group is conducting surveys to collect important data on bees. Find out more: bumblebeeatlas.org/

Reporting this piece taught me a lot. Check it out to learn how coal and transmission backlogs sometimes keep the cheapest form of energy from reaching the grid.
A 2023 map of utility-scale solar projects showed a shocking under-utilization of the solar resources in Appalachia and the Eastern Rockies. Now, four project proposals in Wyoming seek to make a meaningful increase in their solar usage.

Yesterday, @Interior announced another $775 million for plugging abandoned oil and gas wells, reducing methane leaks and creating jobs across Appalachia. This funding adds to the $1 billion distributed thanks to the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.

Estimated construction costs for some of the leading #SMR developers in the U.S. are rising significantly. This will raise the target price of power from their projects, even before they have secured NRC licenses and well ahead of any actual construction.

In extreme heat and hurricane winds, solar remains one of the most reliable sources of electricity on our grid.
