The Yakama Nation has found it nearly impossible to access $32 million in a promised federal grant for an irrigation canal conversion project. The initiative aims to transform old irrigation canals into a solar and small-scale hydropower system, which would lower electricity costs and conserve water in the Yakima Basin. U.S. Senator Maria Cantwell celebrated the project earlier this year for its potential benefits. While incentives for renewable energy are abundant, the bureaucratic processes to implement them can be frustratingly slow. Soundside caught up with investigative reporter Tony Schick to hear more about why the project is stalling. His recent story on the issue was produced in partnership with OPB, ProPublica, and High Country News. Thank you to the supporters of KUOW, you help make this show possible!

To explain what the ENEFIRST Plus project is, the project's senior expert Jean-Sébastien Broc starts by outlining what it isn't: While it all revolves around promoting energy efficiency, that does not mean achieving efficiency at all costs.Joined in this podcast by Managing Director and Chairperson Vlasios Oikonomou, the two colleagues discuss the main considerations that embody the spirit of the EU's Energy Efficiency First principle. They also introduce a core part of their project which involves 8 case studies in four different EU countries – Italy, Poland, Greece, and Croatia.
A €19.6 million partnership project, which aims to be the stepping stone towards large scale wave energy commercialisation, has received formal go-ahead from the European Union. WEDUSEA is a pioneering collaboration between 14 partners, spanning industry and academia from across the UK, Ireland, France, Germany and Spain. It is co-ordinated by the Irish company OceanEnergy. The project is co-funded by the EU Horizon Europe Programme and by Innovate UK, the UK's innovation agency. In common with all other Horizon Europe projects, WEDUSEA has undergone a comprehensive independent review by EU appointed external experts following its initial project design period to ensure the technical designs and all plans, budgets and protocols are fully in place and approved. The green light has now been received from the EU and the project can proceed to its next stage. The WEDUSEA project will demonstrate a grid connected 1MW OE35 floating wave energy converter at the European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC) wave energy test site at Billia Croo in Orkney, Scotland. A rigorous technical and environmental demonstration will happen over a two-year period in Atlantic wave conditions. OceanEnergy has developed the OE35, which is the world's largest capacity floating wave energy device. Floating on the ocean's surface, the device incorporates a trapped air volume, with the lower part open to the sea. Wave pressures at the submerged opening cause the water to oscillate and drive the trapped air through a turbine to generate electricity. Electricity generated will be exported to the UK grid via EMEC's subsea cables. Prof Tony Lewis, Chief Technical Officer at OceanEnergy, says: "Wave energy is the world's most valuable renewable resource with around 30TWh of potential annual production waiting to be harnessed. That's almost ten times Europe's annual electricity consumption. However, this potential has yet to be fully realised. The project will demonstrate that wave technology is on a cost reduction trajectory and will thus be a stepping stone to larger commercial array scale up and further industrialisation. We predict that the natural energy of the world's oceans will one day supply much of the grid." The WEDUSEA project has three phases. The first phase is the initial design and build of a device suited to the ocean conditions at EMEC's Billia Croo wave energy test site. This will be followed by the demonstration at the site, lasting two years. The final phase will be commercialisation and dissemination which sees the capitalisation and exploitation of the results. Matthijs Soede from the European Commission said at the start of the project: "WEDUSEA is set to be a major catalyst for the wave energy industry, unlocking the full potential of this exciting renewable technology. Prof Lars Johanning of University of Plymouth says: "The WEDUSEA partnership has worked hard to ensure that all detailed designs and planning are robust, to prove that the project is viable and that the project will be delivered within budget. Now we have received the green light from the EU, it's all systems go!" The wave converter build starts in the second half of 2024 and the demonstration at EMEC is expected to begin in June 2025.

The Democratic National Convention wraps up tonight, and plenty of Louisianans – from former New Orleans mayor Mitch Landrieu to actor Wendell Pierce – have made appearances. The Times Picayune/The Advocate's editorial director and columnist Stephanie Grace joins us to break down the DNC.Last week, the Louisiana Public Service Commission gave initial approval to the Southern Spirit transmission project that would connect cleaner wind power in Texas to Mississippi . The project would also bring clean energy to the Midcontinent Independent System Operator network, which Louisiana is a part of. But, the project faces obstacles, as this past session state legislators passed a law in an attempt to stop Southern Spirit from crossing North Louisiana.Louisiana Illuminator reporter Wesley Muller explains why these property rights may be slowing Louisiana's access to clean energy. This Friday, the West Baton Rouge Museum will open an exhibition on the life of architect and sculptor Angela Gregory. Gregory contributed to the architecture of many Louisiana buildings – including the state capitol – at a time when female artists struggled to be taken seriously. Curator Elizabeth Weinstein joins us for more on the exhibit and Gregory's legacy. ___Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Adam Vos.

A multi-billion dollar project to connect solar projects around with more than 400 miles of power lines is one step closer to final approval.
A two-megawatt solar energy facility is coming to Madison, Nebraska thanks to an investment from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The project was selected to receive a Powering Affordable Clean Energy program award, which pays for 40% of the project. Clare Sierawski with the USDA said the solar facility could spur economic development in Madison and help residents save money.
This week, we're talking about final regulations the IRS has released for increased clean energy project benefits.
The provincial government has given land-use permits to four proposed wind energy projects across the island. The projects are supposed to build wind turbines to produce electricity. That power will be converted to hydrogen, then to ammonia and shipped to Germany, where it'll be turned back to electricity. The problem is, local people and some industry experts say the plan doesn't make sense. The CBC's Leigh Anne Power looked into Exploits Valley Renewable Energy Corporation.
The NL provincial government approved World Energy GH2's amended environmental assessment last week. That means the company's proposed mega project to produce hydrogen from wind energy generated on the Port au Port Peninsula and Codroy Valley will go ahead. But even after the company had done more work on that assessment, as the government demanded, some people were still concerned about the plans. Claudelle Devoe is a tourism operator in the Codroy Valley and a member of the citizen's group Codroy Valley United.
The St. John's Morning Show from CBC Radio Nfld. and Labrador (Highlights)
Yesterday afternoon, the provincial government gave environmental approval for World Energy GH2's plan to produce hydrogen from wind energy generated on the Port au Port Peninsula and Codroy Valley. We got reaction from Nick Mercer, an expert on renewable energy and an executive of Enviro Watch NL.
The provincial government has given the official go-ahead for the massive wind-to-electricity-to-hydrogen proposal for western Newfoundland, The plan includes the construction of more than 300 huge wind turbines, as tall as 200 metres each. We heard three perspectives. Provincial Environment Minister Bernard Davis (0:25 mark) delivered the news yesterday, releasing World Energy GH2 from further environmental assessment. John Risley (3:05), the chair of World Energy GH2 says the decision was necessary to solidify NL's position as a global leader in renewable green energy production. Then, Nick Mercer (3:28), an expert on renewable energy and an executive of Envirowatch NL, weighed in on the government's decision.
In a remote part of Nevada, an energy company is trying to build a climate-friendly power plant—but the plant is being blocked by conservationists and a decades old environmental law. A geothermal plant built atop desert hot springs sits half-completed after the discovery of a new toad species in the area, and an environmental review required by the National Environmental Policy Act, or NEPA. Conservation groups are suing, arguing the plant could drive the toad to extinction. But that seemingly puts them at odds with clean energy advocates in the fight against climate change. Bloomberg Law's Daniel Moore and Andrew Satter visited the site and join our podcast, On The Merits. They discuss the plant, the toad, NEPA, and why these "green-on-green" fights could become common as renewable energy projects expand. Do you have feedback on this episode of On The Merits?

Time isn't just this tangible thing that you can parcel out and have it behave in predictable ways. So let's stop trying to make it our b-i-t-c-h, whaddya say? The thing is, when you are feeling good and in a groove, mentally, physically, and spiritually, you cut through tasks like a hot knife through butter. It's better, then, to stop trying to manage your time, and focus instead of managing your energy. This is not just some woo-woo thing that I personally believe.

Today's conversation is with Tony Schwartz. He's the New York Times best-selling author who's written 6 books and the Founder and CEO of The Energy Project. A firm that helps individuals and companies skillfully manage their energy in a world of relentlessly rising demand and complexity. Tony started his career as a journalist, and the first book he wrote was "The Art of the Deal" which he co-authored with Donald Trump. The decision to write that book is something that Tony went on to deeply regret. That experience prompted him to take an entirely different path in his life.It led to a lifelong investigation of the factors that shape our beliefs and identity, the influence of our early caregivers and the ways that we can heal and grow by accepting and acknowledging both the best and worst in ourselves. Tony has a an amazing body of work that we talk about at great length. including how energy relates to our own transformation, how, by understanding the different sources and types of energy inside us, we can better manage our relationships and how much we accomplish in life. We talk about the danger of looking for value from the outside world rather than inside ourselves.We talk about how his childhood and upbringing led to so much of what he came to discover about the human condition. But ultimately what he came to describe as defenders that develop inside each of us and are on aspect of the parts of ourselves we tend not to like. We also talk about the three different selves that make up our personality and why understanding Those different parts of our personality is a path to a very rich life indeed.This was one of my all-time favorite conversations. It is exceedingly rare to find someone as insightful about the human condition as Tony Schwartz.Don't forget to hit subscribe so you never miss a new episode!

We use that term a lot, but it's not really true. We have low carbon energy, and lower carbon energy, but any kind of industrial system has requirements for materials and processing, and nothing is completely natural in the industrial world. If we can electrify transportation, I think we can clean up the grid, and then I think we can deal with these life cycle issues in a way that's responsible, but it'll never be zero. That's impossible.Today, there are hundreds of thousands, if not millions, just in the advocacy and policy space now. And then you look at all the people, the scientists and the engineers and the investors and the business people who are trying to create these new machines and bring down the cost. You're talking tens of millions maybe. And the annual spend on clean energy globally is somewhere in the range I believe of about 400 billion a year.

And our philosophy, which makes us a little different from other environmental organizations that work on this, is we think you ought to be pursuing all of those options because you don't know which are going to work out.”Armond Cohen is Executive Director of Clean Air Task Force, which he has led since its formation in 1996. In addition to leading CATF, Armond is directly involved in CATF research and advocacy on the topic of requirements to deeply decarbonize global energy systems. Prior to his work with CATF, Armond founded and led the Conservation Law Foundation's Energy Project starting in 1983, focusing on energy efficiency, utility resource planning, and electric industry structure. Armond has published numerous articles on climate change, energy system transformation, and air pollution; he speaks, writes, and testifies frequently on these topics. He is a board member of the Nuclear Innovation Alliance and an honors graduate of Harvard Law School and Brown University.www.catf.uswww.creativeprocess.info www.oneplanetpodcast.orgIG www.instagram.com/creativeprocesspodcast

And so my advice would be if you're interested in this topic, if you have a mathematical, scientific, or business orientation, or you just like solving problems, you're that kind of person, get trained to really be part of the technological business revolution that's going on right now. Join up with companies that are doing clean energy work or work for an electric utility that's got the right commitment. If you're a policy person who doesn't like mucking around with numbers, then train yourself to understand the complexities of this and go into government or work in non-governmental organizations like mine and bring your brain to the table.If you look at universities' engineering programs, civil engineering, chemical, mechanical, and electrical, or you look at city planning departments around the world, and you open any catalog of any major university, within all those disciplines, there's going to be a major climate focus. It's like a unifying theme. So I'm seeing young people coming out of their training with a sense that their mission is within those areas, but there's no separating that in their minds from the need to control emissions on the planet and to get to a more livable climate. So, what I'm seeing is this massive amount of social energy and intellectual energy.”www.catf.uswww.creativeprocess.info www.oneplanetpodcast.orgIG www.instagram.com/creativeprocesspodcast

A proposed pump storage project near John Day Dam would store excess energy and could provide power to half a million homes. But, as the Yakama Nation and other tribes argue, the proposed location would destroy sacred gathering sites and resources that are irreplaceable. Toastie Oaster is a staff writer for High Country News and has been covering this issue. They join us to share more about what is at stake and the fight against the project.
