Trump’s DOE Swings At Clean Energy & Accidentally Hits A Bullseye

7 min read

In a move that surprised absolutely no one, the Trump/Wright Department of Energy began swinging the axe at clean energy programs—but here’s the twist: this time, they might accidentally be getting a few things right. Not because they’ve suddenly developed a coherent decarbonization strategy or found religion on climate policy. … [continued]

7 Projects Down In The Inevitable Death Of Hydrogen For Energy In B.C.

9 min read

It was never going to work. The CBC’s March 2025 freedom of information exposé confirmed what engineers, analysts, and every mildly numerate policymaker should have known: British Columbia’s grand hydrogen production ambitions were built on sand. According to briefing documents to B.C.’s then energy minister in September of 2024, at … [continued]

Geothermal & Heat Pumps Are Quietly Undermining Fossil Industrial Heat

9 min read

Industrial heat has always been the awkward uncle at the decarbonization dinner table. Loud, a bit old-fashioned, and responsible for about 20% of global carbon emissions, but nobody really wants to talk about him. The climate conversation has been dominated by glitzier topics like electric vehicles and green hydrogen, the … [continued]

Debunking The Myth: Hydrogen Will Not Dominate The Transportation Sector

6 min read

The belief that hydrogen will dominate the transportation sector is rooted in optimism rather than evidence. It appeals to the imagination but collapses under scrutiny. In practice, hydrogen is being decisively outpaced by two more efficient and cost-effective alternatives: battery electric vehicles and advanced biofuels. The appeal of hydrogen may … [continued]

Debunking The Myth: Green Hydrogen Is Essential To Displace Current Industrial Hydrogen Use, Not As An Energy Source

5 min read

Shifting from fossil hydrogen is akin to turning off a leaky tap—a necessary first step toward stemming the tide of industrial emissions. Despite being promoted extensively as a universal replacement fuel for heavy industry, hydrogen’s role in decarbonization is frequently misunderstood or exaggerated. The perception that hydrogen can broadly replace … [continued]
