♨️ Geothermal power around the clock: Hot well in Utah shows the technology can scale up
Fervo Energy has drilled its hottest well yet at a new geothermal site in Utah, with measured temperatures exceeding 555°F at approximately 11,200 feet deep. Fervo pumps cold water underground, where it is heated by the Earth's natural heat. The water is then brought back to the surface.
🛫 Fewer obese passengers – thanks to weight loss pills –reduce airlines' fuel needs
Analysts estimate that airlines could reduce fuel costs by up to 1.5% if average passenger weight drops by 10%. The largest American airlines are consuming approximately 16 billion gallons of fuel. Lower fuel consumption also means reduced carbon dioxide emissions from air traffic.
🌬️ Ten countries to build world's largest offshore power grid in the North Sea
The UK and nine other European countries have agreed to build a power grid in the North Sea with 100 gigawatts of offshore wind power, enough to supply 143 million homes. The agreement is expected to attract investments of 867 billion pounds and create 91,000 new jobs.

⚗️ Amazon buys copper produced with microorganisms in new climate-friendly process
The process uses microorganisms to extract copper from ore that previously often became waste, eliminating the need for traditional smelters and refineries. The technology can strengthen domestic copper supply without waiting for permits for new mines, a process that normally takes many years.
☀️ Renewable energy is the scientific breakthrough of the year – surpasses coal as power source worldwide
The journal Science has named the advance of renewable energy as the breakthrough of the year after solar and wind power surpassed coal as a power source globally. In 2004, it took a full year to install 1 gigawatt of solar power capacity globally – today twice that amount goes online every day.
🏭 China builds fewer coal power plants as renewable energy takes over
China approved 41.8 gigawatts of new coal power capacity during the first three quarters of this year, the lowest pace since 2021. Wind and solar power can now cover all of China's increased electricity demand. Expectations for coal power profitability have dropped, leading to fewer new plants.
