I wanted to talk with you about one of my favorite topics – The GRID! We use it every day without having to give a lot of thought. We use it when we light our homes, charge our phones, and store food in the fridge. Many of us rely on it at work to run computers, machines, and various devices….
…six years given by Congress, the credit is set to expire at the end of 2023. While this deadline may seem far off, carbon capture projects take a long time to develop. Federal permits to store carbon dioxide underground alone can take over four years. Companies rightly want financial certainty before they break ground on a new project. In a…
…a leading building materials company based in Irving, Texas, announced in August 2024 plans for carbon capture at its Mitchell, Indiana cement plant. The Mitchell plant is one of two U.S. facilities that received $500 million from the Department of Energy to install CCS. Combined, these two projects aim to avoid almost 3 million tons of CO2 emissions a year….
…offering virtual doctor’s appointments. Energy and industrial companies are looking to innovate too. One of the hottest technologies for innovation right now is hydrogen. In addition to job-creating capabilities, hydrogen is a versatile, clean energy carrier that can help the nation reduce its carbon dioxide emissions and achieve net-zero emissions goals. It’s used to decarbonize industrial processes, store and provide…
…the commercial market encouraging widespread adoption. The federal government has long been a facilitator of innovative technology deployment. In heavy industry, the Manufacturing USA Institutes have been a successful tool in advancing cutting-edge solutions. Manufacturing USA Institutes is a national network of institutes, each with a unique technological concentration, sponsored by the Department of Commerce (DOC), Department of Defense (DOD),…
Senate Committee on The Budget Below is my testimony before the Senate Committee on The Budget in a hearing entitled, “The Cost of Inaction on Climate Change” on April 15, 2021.

…technology has its limitations. As we forecast needs, it is clear the future grid will need a suite of different technology solutions that have not yet been commercialized. This is why the Department of Energy’s research, development, and demonstration (RD&D) programs are so important. Currently, energy storage R&D is spread out across the Department of Energy (DOE) in multiple offices…
…also possesses world-class geological resources and technical expertise to store CO2 permanently underground at the scale developers need. While we currently lead the world in this technology, and major U.S. energy companies are looking to invest billions of dollars to maintain this leadership role, other countries are ramping up too – and closing the gap.

…each day from the Texas coal plant. In the three years Petra Nova has captured over 3 million tons of carbon dioxide and shows that with smart public private partnerships, the U.S. is able to innovate and deploy commercial scale projects to make clean energy more affordable. In Texas, carbon-free resources make up more than 30 percent of its energy…
…U.S. could lead the world in the manufacture and export of those technologies? The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has been working to address these questions, with bipartisan support from Congress, and we hope that continues. In January 2020, DOE launched the Energy Storage Grand Challenge (ESGC), a comprehensive program to accelerate the development, commercialization, and utilization of next-generation energy…
