Vanadium as a Critical Mineral Catalyst
The Gibellini Vanadium Project, overseen by Nevada Vanadium, may be coming online at a time when a new market is emerging for vanadium: long-duration, grid-scale storage.
Rural Nevada and Renewable Energy
I explore the complex but intricate relationship between renewable energy development and rural communities in the state of Nevada.
Renewable Energy Development in Rural Nevada
Rural Nevada has become the latest front in the battle against climate change. While renewable energy development is often well-intentioned, it can often get mired in difficulty and controversy. The complex nature of meeting ambitious climate goals and responsibly developing renewable energy in rural communities is described in this report published for the Sierra NevadaContinue reading “Renewable Energy Development in Rural Nevada”
New Facility Tests Wave Energy Technologies
The PacWave facility will capitalize the opportunity for wave energy to contribute to a broader renewable energy portfolio.
Wave Energy Research Facility
In this report, I identify a new research facility designed to test wave energy technologies.
Lithium-ion Battery Cycle in Nevada
This audio story for Ally Radio and it’s partner station KNVC 95.1 in Carson City, NV, explores how Nevada is “closing the lithium loop” by developing the full supply chain in the lithium-ion battery cycle.
Closing the Lithium Loop in Nevada
This report for the Sierra Nevada Ally analyzes the ways in which the state of Nevada is seeking to “close the lithium loop” by developing the full supply chain in the lithium-ion battery cycle.
Geothermal Energy and Sage-Grouse Populations
Dr. Coates conducted a study to understand the relationship between geothermal projects and sage-grouse populations in the state of Nevada.
Renewable Energy Permitting Reform
In the following report for Ally Radio and it’s partner station KNVC 95.1 in Carson City, NV, I analyze the current state of permitting procedures for renewable energy development. Permitting procedures can often delay and even kills renewable energy projects from ever getting implemented. For this story, I interview two sides of the permitting spectrum.Continue reading “Renewable Energy Permitting Reform”
