DTE's Fermi 2 plant retains Clean Corporate Citizen status

subscribe

The Michigan Department of Environmental Quality renewed DTE Energy's Fermi 2 Power Plant's Clean Corporate Citizen status for an additional three years.

Detroit-based DTE, Michigan's largest utility, said its Fermi 2 facility located in Newport has had the Corporate Citizen designation since September 2000.

To become eligible for the rating, a power plant has to adopt specific environmental management systems, maintain active pollution prevention initiatives and have a consistent record of compliance with MDEQ.

DTE's Detroit Edison unit, which operates Fermi 2, has 2.2 million electric customers in Southeast Michigan.

Physicists Just Achieved Conduction of Electricity at Close to The Speed of Light

LONDON - When it comes to data transfer and computing, the faster we can shift electrons and conduct electricity the better – and scientists have just been able to transport electrons at sub-femtosecond speeds (less than one quadrillionth of a second) in an experimental setup.

The trick is manipulating the electrons with light waves that are specially crafted and produced by an ultrafast laser. It might be a long while before this sort of setup makes it into your laptop, but the fact they pulled it off promises a significant step forward in terms of what we can expect from our…
