American Airlines and Google have successfully trialed an AI-driven forecasting tool designed to reduce the formation of contrails, which account for up to 2% of global warming. By integrating predictive data into flight planning, pilots were able to make minor altitude adjustments to avoid atmospheric conditions conducive to heat-trapping ice crystals.
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission has issued its first commercial nuclear construction permit since 2016, greenlighting a next-generation reactor project in Wyoming. This milestone marks a significant shift in U.S. energy policy toward advanced nuclear technology as a solution for decarbonizing the power grid.
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission has granted the first commercial construction permit for an advanced, non-light water nuclear reactor in decades. The permit allows TerraPower to begin building its Natrium reactor in Kemmerer, Wyoming, marking a critical milestone for the next generation of American carbon-free energy.
