China Plans Fully Renewable Power for Antarctic Research Stations by 2035

Modern Mechanics 24 News Desk August 5, 2026 5:33 pm

China plans to power all of its Antarctic research stations with renewable energy by 2035. Qinling Station, which opened in 2024, already meets more than 60% of its energy needs using solar, wind, hydrogen, and battery storage. The project aims to reduce diesel use while proving that clean energy can work in one of the world’s most extreme environments.

Construction site of Canada's first BWRX-300 small modular nuclear reactor in Ontario.

Canada’s Next Nuclear Chapter Depends on Imported Fuel

Modern Mechanics 24 News Desk August 5, 2026 4:21 pm

Ontario Power Generation (OPG) has started building Canada’s first BWRX-300 small modular reactor at Darlington. While the project aims to provide reliable low-carbon electricity, it will rely on enriched uranium from the United States, France, and Britain. The move marks a major change from Canada’s traditional Candu reactors, which used domestically produced natural uranium.
