This article underscores that economic growth and emissions reduction can coexist with the right mix of technology, policy, and market forces.

The world is on track to build more renewable energy projects in a five-year period than it has in the last 40 years, but natural gas will continue to be relied upon.

"The country’s largest manufacturer of zinc batteries is investing $352.9 million to relocate its headquarters from Middlesex County to a larger space in Allegheny County in Pennsylvania."

"Rep. Mikie Sherrill’s convincing victory in the governor’s race is seen by supporters of renewable energy as a boon for New Jersey’s struggling offshore wind sector."

"New Jersey signed off on the project, called the Northeast Supply Enhancement Project, hours after New York authorities issued its permit — the final two steps needed for work to commence."

"...this is the first time they’ve appeared in any meaningful way at data center sites. That speaks volumes about just how tight power supplies in the U.S. have become."

A report commissioned by the U.S. Energy Storage Coalition said North America’s largest grid operator needs to rapidly build storage to ensure reliability and mitigate cost increases.

New Jersey voters support building new natural gas power plants by a 3-to-1 margin (64% support vs. 22% oppose) as a temporary "bridge" until other power sources are online.

"This is our moonshot moment. Just as a prior generation put a man on the moon, we have the opportunity—and the responsibility—to build the energy backbone that will support our economy, our national competitiveness, and our way of life for generations to come."

"Energy affordability, reliability (including energy security at the national or regional level), and emission reduction continue to form a trio of priorities that drive energy decision-making. However, without affordability—along with bankability—widespread adoption of new low-carbon technologies will not happen."
