The Pennsylvania Democrat's stance on the EPA tailpipe rule is alarming greens. A Fetterman aide says an "all-of-the-above" approach is needed to "save the

Xcel Energy initially pinpointed the cause of a lengthy outage at its Prairie Island nuclear power plant as an equipment issue between the turbine and the electric grid. But that didn't quite tell the full story: Xcel workers at the plant actually cut a bundle of power cables when drilling sideways underground last October, interrupting power to some of the Red Wing plant's equipment and ...

A proposed framework could help create a new electricity market that taps more renewable energy.
