The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) plans to finalize more than $200 million in grant funding in the coming weeks to accelerate the clean energy transition at three Great Lakes shipping ports. That action will obligate the federal government to pay roughly $3 billion in grants under the program, even … [continued]

As the years pass and more re-enactments of the Odyssey of the Hydrogen Fleet are played out, they get staged in multiple settings, much like Shakespeare’s Tempest being staged in a waterpark in Germany in 2019. In recent months, I’ve curated a couple of lists of hydrogen bus and train … [continued]

A year ago I published an assessment of a quite remarkably bad, non-peer-reviewed paper by one of the Geological Survey of Finland’s (GTK) associate professors, Simon Michaux. The paper’s quite risible conclusions were that there wasn’t nearly enough metal in the ground to be able to electrify everything with renewables. … [continued]

Sails on ships are a romantic and idealized vision of the world. Our history as a species includes innumerable tiny vessels pushed by wind across great expanses of featureless ocean, bold explorers and traders risking all on the science of sextants and the vagaries of the weather. But in recent … [continued]

Ports are critical for commerce, a keystone for economic growth, and play a significant role in the goods movement supply chain. The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) says that investing in port infrastructure and operations is vital to US economic prosperity. Because these investments provide not only economic but environmental … [continued]
