Making Water Out Of Dry Air
Scientists, including a Nobel Prize winner, have early prototypes that would make water from air. If they work, drought may, very slowly be reduced in some parts of the world, according to Bloomberg

The American Lung Association says EV school buses are critical to the health of American school children. The use is becoming a reality.
China is investing hundreds of billions of dollars in green energy. Much of this is because of government support. The Trump administration is pushing the US toward coal and oil.
Transportation is 28% of all carbon emissions in the US. A meaningful part of this is jet engines. Despite a large number of experiments, trials involving alternative fuel combustion engines and solar power have not advanced
There is anticipation that the Strait of Hormuz may open. But, just as important is that the US is the world’s largest oil producer and has huge refineries We also have gas reserves
Even with gas near $5, EV sales are not rising significantly. They are still about 6% of new cars and slightly higher among used cars. Americans have not overcome their objections about range, charging times, and insurance rates. The same thing happened in 2022 when gas prices were high
China still uses huge amounts of coal, although it has moved aggressively toward wind and solar. India’s electricity still runs on coal. The US coal use was down, but the Trump administration has reversed that to provide energy to AI data centers.
Trump is opening tens of thousands of acres for coal mining to help provide much-needed electricity. However, old coal plants are expensive to operate, which may increase local electricity bills. And it is dirty, which, among other things, is due to increased mercury emissions.
A new research paper shows that “fracking” creates an inexpensive way to produce natural gas. It saves Americans trillions of dollars. It came at a price to the environment. The process contaminates groundwater and causes air pollution.
AI data centers often have places to build, electricity, and water. However, they are short of transformers. The backlog is as much as four years. This gives solar and wind the opportunity to build out infrastructure, and that could partially replace LNG and coal.
Is the world running out of oil? For some places that import most of their crude, the answer is “yes.” However, today, it is not because of the ships trapped outside the Strait of Hormuz. It is due to sharp declines in crude at storage facilities and at refineries.
Scientists have discovered that heavy rain in one area causes water to sit on the surface. It evaporates. That means it does to spread to rivers and streams to be carried elsewhere
Oil is not only flowing to storage facilities. It is flowing out of these facilities at a record. Without more green energy, the world is already running low on energy. Finally, there is a powerful reason to support it
A new study from Gallup shows that 70% of Americans don’t want data centers near where they live
As data centers find a place to locate, they have found that local objects and local politics are forcing them to go elsewhere
It doesn’t make any sense. But, it does. The US is the largest producer of crude and natural gas. Between AI data centers and the lack of EVs, the US’s energy future is fossil fuels.
Several months ago, oil companies had no interest in the areas of Alaska that Trump had set aside for exploration. Suddenly, with the world’s need for crude, they have reconsidered their decisions.
A large number of experts believe that this year could produce the strongest El Niño in a century. The effects are hard to predict, but there is a chance they will be catastrophic. However, all experts believe that human-based pollution is even worse.
India has 50 of the world’s hottest metros. Climate change has made those hotter. The air pollution in these cities is terrible. That is because of the use of fossil fuels
Fossil fuels remain the foundation of travel. And, they are the “only show in town” now. With the rise in prices, some routes will be eliminated, and tickets for others will be much higher.
The IEA has just reported that the world is already in an energy crisis. This is likely to continue throughout much of the year. This, in turn, risks a large economic slowdown. The only solution is to quickly increase the size of the green energy sector
