The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is awarding $33 million for nine projects across seven states to advance concentrating solar-thermal (CST) systems technologies for solar fuel production and long-duration energy storage.
CST technologies use mirrors to reflect and concentrate sunlight onto a receiver, helping to produce carbon-free clean fuels.
“Under the Biden-Harris administration, DOE continues to invest in the next-generation solar technologies we need to tackle the climate crisis and ensure American scientific innovation remains the envy of the world,” says U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer M. Granholm.
“With today’s announcement, DOE is supporting projects that will harness the sun’s energy to power NASA space missions, beer and wine production, and everything in between.”
To accelerate the development of energy storage technologies, DOE launched the Long Duration Storage Shot to slash costs within the decade. Breakthroughs in the industrial sectors are supported by DOE’s Industrial Heat Shot, Hydrogen Shot and the Clean Fuels & Products Shot.
Three selected projects will leverage heat from solar energy to make renewable fuels:
- Exergy Labs: This project will develop a modular dish reactor for clean hydrogen and test prototype dish reactors on-site in North Carolina and Arizona.
- National Renewable Energy Laboratory: This project will develop a novel CST-compatible reactor using carbon monoxide and water vapor to produce products such as jet fuel.
- West Virginia University: Researchers, in partnership with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, aim to demonstrate the advantages of direct solar-thermal integration with hydrogen production via a high-temperature solid oxide electrolyzer.

No one with any sense truly doubts the words at left. Caring only about wealthy white men is the GOP brand, like the Nike “swoosh.”
Not only does the Republican party appeal to the uber-rich, but also to wide variety of racists, and people stupid enough to believe that Trump is bringing manufacturing back to the U.S. and that the billionaires are job creators.
What Noam Chomsky says here is spot on, especially with respect to Trump.
What makes Trump so good at this is his facility to invent a new boogieman every couple of days. Communism, Dr. Fauci, Venezuela’s drug boats, Iran, birthright citizenship, democrats, the damage done by previous presidents, the climate hoax, the Kennedy Center, the arch, the vandals at the Reflecting Pool, Black Lives Matter, Antifa, liberals in education, the Hollywood elite, unsafe vaccinations, trans people, a nuclearized Iran, massive voter fraud, Haitians eating our pets, Harvard, the ex-Fed Chairman, NATO, wind turbines, the far-left radicals, the election control people, the list goes on.
Then there are the near-daily outrages:
Turning Gaza into a luxury resort, annexing Greenland, curtailing environmental emission standards, usurping the Panama Canal, refusing to pay E. Jean Carroll, pardoning hundreds of violent convicted felons, accepting bribes for pardoning white collar fraudsters, insider trading, orchestrating deals that benefit his children, targeting Jack Smith, protecting ICE agents who commit murder/manslaughter, and leasing federal wilderness land for oil exploration
The more indefensible the better.
Is her point that there are countries that are even more repressive to women’s rights?
Does anyone disagree with that?
