Trump funding cuts threaten US energy innovation, National Academies warns (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The nation’s top scientific advisory institution offered a strong endorsement Thursday of an Obama-era energy innovation agency that President Donald Trump has repeatedly sought to eliminate or starve of funding. Since it was initially funded in 2009, the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy has provided more than $4.2 billion to over 1,700 projects, resulting in the formation of at least 173 companies, according to a yearslong review by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Me
World’s largest carbon removal plant to open at the end of 2026 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Occidental Petroleum says it will begin operating the world’s largest carbon-removal facility at the end of 2026, ending months of uncertainty about when the West Texas project would begin extracting planet-warming pollution from the atmosphere.

As fire season looms, tech startups come calling in DC (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A lobbying blitz is underway in Trump’s Washington to secure funding for drones, AI cameras and other technologies being used to prevent and limit wildfires. It won’t be easy. The K Street forces working for the emerging fire tech sector must persuade an administration that has carried out a dramatic about-face on environmental issues, halting broader climate action and rejecting the scientific consensus that human-caused climate change is leading to more damaging infernos.
