THE TOP FIVE

 

1. New York abandon= s its fifth offshore wind solicitation

What a difference two years makes. = In April 2024, New York anno= unced plans to open a fifth offshore wind solicitation, this time with = a faster timeline and $200 million from the state to support the establishm= ent of a turbine supply chain. Seven months later, at least four developers= , including Germany=E2=80=99s RWE and the Danish wind giant Orsted, submitted bids. But as the Trum= p administration launched a war against offshore wind, developers withdrew thei= r bids. On Friday, Albany formally canceled the auction. In a statement, th= e state government said the reversal was due to =E2=80=9Cfederal actions di= srupting the offshore wind market and instilling significant uncertainty in= to offshore wind project development.=E2=80=9D That doesn=E2=80=99t mean of= fshore wind is kaput. As I wrote last week, Orsted=E2=80=99s projects ar= e back on track after its most recent court victory against the White House= =E2=80=99s stop-work orders. Equinor's Empire Wind, as Heatmap=E2=80=99s Ja= el Holzman wrote last month, is cruising to completion. If numbers developer= s shared with Canary= Media are to be believed, the few offshore wind turbines already = spinning on the East Coast actually churned out power more than half the ti= me during the recent cold snap, reaching capacity factors typically associa= ted with natural gas plants. That would be a big success. But that success = may need the political winds to shift before it can be translated into more= projects.

2. U.S. natural gas production set to hit new highs in 2= 026 and 2027

But production of natural gas is set to hit a record high in= 2026, and continue upward next year. The Energy Information Administration= =E2=80=99s latest short-term energy outlook expects natural gas prod= uction to surge 2% this year to 120.8 billion cubic feet per day, from 118 = billion in 2025 =E2=80=94 then surge again next year to 122.3 billion cubic= feet. Roughly 69% of the increased output is set to come from Appalachia, = Louisiana=E2=80=99s Haynesville area, and the Texas Permian regions. Still,= a lot of that gas is flowing to liquified natural gas exports, which Heatmap=E2=80=99s Matthew Zeitlin = explained could raise prices. 

3. Two microre= actor startups hit major milestones

The U.S. nuclear industry has yet to prove = that microreactors can pencil out without the economies of scale that a big= traditional reactor achieves. But two of the leading contenders in the rac= e to commercialize the technology just crossed major milestones. On Friday,= Amazon-backed X-energy received a license from the Nuclear Regulatory Com= mission to begin commercial production of reactor fuel high-assay low-enric= hed uranium, the rare but potent material that=E2=80=99s enriched up to fou= r times higher than traditional reactor fuel. Due to its higher enrichment = levels, HALEU, pronounced HAY-loo, requires facilities rated to the NRC=E2=80=99s Category II levels. While= the U.S. has Category I facilities that handle low-enriched uranium and Ca= tegory III facilities that manage the high-grade stuff made for the militar= y, the country has not had a Category II site in operation. Once completed,= the X-energy facility will be the first, in addition to being the first ne= w commercial fuel producer licensed by the NRC in more than half a century.=  

 

On Sunday, the U.S. government airlifted a reactor for the first time. The = Department of Defense transported one of Valar Atomics=E2=80=99 5-megawatt = microreactors via a C-17 from March Air Reserve Base in California to Hill = Air Force Base in Utah. From there, the California-based startup=E2=80=99s = reactor will go to the Utah Rafael Energy Lab in Orangeville, Utah, for tes= ting. In a series of posts on X, Isaiah Taylor, Valar=E2=80=99s founder, ca= lled the event =E2=80=9Ca groundbreaking unlock for the American warfighter= s.=E2=80=9D His company=E2=80=99s reactor, he said, =E2=80=9Ccan power= 5,000 homes or sustain a brigade-scale=E2=80=9D forward operating base.

4. Colorado River negotiations end without a plan f= or shoring up water supply
 
After years of attempting to sort out new a= llocations from the dwindling Colorado River, negotiators from states and t= he federal government disbanded Friday without a plan for supplying the 40 = million people who depend on its waters. Upper-basin states Colorado, Utah,= Wyoming, and New Mexico have so far resisted cutting water usage when lowe= r-basin states California, Arizona, and Nevada are, as = The Guardian put it, =E2=80=9Cresponsible for creating the def= icit=E2=80=9D between supply and demand. But the lower-basin states said th= ey had already agreed to substantial cuts and wanted the northern states to= share in the burden. The disagreement has created an impasse for months; n= egotiators blew through deadlines in November and January to come up with a= solution. Calling for =E2=80=9Cunprecedented cuts=E2=80=9D that he himself= described as =E2=80=9Cunbelievably harsh,=E2=80=9D Brad Udall, senior wate= r and climate research scientist at Colorado State University=E2=80=99s Col= orado Water Center, said: =E2=80=9CMother Nature is not going to bail us ou= t.=E2=80=9D

 

In a statement Friday, Secretary of the Inter= ior Doug Burgum described =E2=80=9Cnegotiations efforts=E2=80=9D as =E2=80= =9Cproductive=E2=80=9D and said his agency would step in to provide guideli= nes to the states by October.

5. France laments Europe=E2=80=99s =E2=80=98crazy=E2=80=99 hydrogen regulations<= /p>

Europe=E2=80=99s =E2=80=9Cregulator= y rigidity risks undermining the momentum of the hydrogen economy. That, at= least, is the assessment of French President Emmanuel Macron, whose govern= ment has pumped tens of billions of euros into the clean-burning fuel and p= romoted the concept of =E2=80=9Cpink hydrogen=E2=80=9D made with nuclear el= ectricity as the solution that will make energy technology take off.

The Dut= ch government, meanwhile, just announced plans = to pump 8 billion euros, roughly $9.4 billion, into green hydrogen.

THE KICKER

Kazakhstan i= s bringing back its tigers. The vast Central Asian nation=E2=80=99s= tiger reintroduction program achieved record results in ref= oresting an area across the Ili River Delta and Southern Balkhash region, p= lanting more than 37,000 seedlings and cuttings on an area spanning nearly = 24 acres. The government planted roughly 30,000 narrow-leaf oleast= er seedlings, 5,000 willow cuttings, and about 2,000 turanga trees, once ca= lled a =E2=80=9Crelic=E2=80=9D of the Kazakh deser= t. Once the forests come back, the government plans to eventually reintrodu= ce tigers, which died out in the 1950s.
