Germany will no longer issue credit guarantees to exporters selling nuclear material in risky markets. But many developing nations could use a zero-emissions source like nuclear.

Pour saltwater on most crops, and they’ll wither and die. But soak a halophyte in saltwater, and it’ll grow, baby, grow! See the advantages yet?

Rabid greens have transformed Germany from an innovator into a laggard. Emotional environmental biases are stifling the pursuit of cutting edge technology.

America’s renewed energy security has huge geopolitical implications, and it’s all thanks to the shale boom.
