  In a previous article Resource Erectors highlighted Elon Musk’s $100 million and $20 million XPRIZEs as motivation for the development of innovative CO2 capturing technology. The winning projects involved a coal-fired power plant and an LNG facility, where CO2 was captured at the stacks and injected to make concrete with higher compressive strength. While […]

  An April 2021 Associated Press report posted at Power Engineering announced the latest first prize winners of Elon Musk’s $20 million XPRIZE. $15 million (with the other $5 million going to promising runners up) was split between two of the most unlikely candidates (from the green-minded environmentalist point of view); a coal-fired power plant […]

  There’s no getting away from the powerful influence on industries of the politically driven rush to replace fossil fuel, coal, and other traditional “carbon-emitting” energy sources with an “all-electric” power grid.  After decades under the legislative green thumb of what many are now recognizing as nothing less than “radical environmentalism”, the global general public […]

  When the world places an order the mining industry delivers. But will the radical, regulatory, environmental left get out of its own way when it comes to expanded mining operations for complex green technology support?  Amazon is making quite a  big deal out of their order for 100,000 Rivian electric delivery trucks . Their […]

  Tesla’s Elon Musk is running up against some stiff potential competition in the battery vs. hydrogen fuel cell battle. Australian mining magnate and billionaire Andrew Forrest is taking on Tesla Inc. and CEO Elon Musk in his quest to promote “greener than batteries” hydrogen fuel cells as the next game-changer in the clean-energy scramble, […]

  There’s a hot “new” battery metal in the mining industry’s Electric Vehicle support race. It’s an anode-grade, all-natural-flake graphite that can match or surpass the life cycles of its synthetic graphite competitors, all while increasing energy kWh capacity, at a much lower cost.  In this article, the industry watchers at Resource Erectors take a […]

  The possibility of 40% replacement of diesel fuel with LNG. Resource Erectors has been keeping a close eye on the Keystone shutdown effect since the Biden administration terminated the essential domestic fuel supply pipeline project. This executive order can potentially triple the cost of traditional fossil fuels. Afterwards, thousands of newly unemployed American and […]

  The term “green concrete”, not so many decades ago, used to describe the condition of freshly poured ready mix concrete in construction projects or precast concrete products that required more curing time to achieve its full average 3,000 psi strength. The term “green” as applied to concrete was all about quality control.  Now, in […]

  Despite the Covid 19 economic obstacles to be overcome in 2020, the precious metals sector managed to log quite an impressive record. Gold bullion even managed a 25% leap, its best year since 2010 to close out the decade. As impressive as gold’s performance was in 2020, silver still managed to outpace the world’s […]

  Reducing carbon levels is a mandate that isn’t going away anytime soon. Global political pressure for sustainable green construction from the UN has resulted in a doubling in 2020 of the number of companies and local governments committed to “net zero emissions” by the end of this century. Many are aiming to meet an […]

  At Resource Erectors we’ve been keeping a close eye on the “green cement” concept. With our decades of long-standing connections with industry leaders and professionals in both the mining and concrete sectors, we make it our mission to stay ahead of the curve when it comes to trends that affect those industries where our […]

The Green Rush to Less Than Reliable Energy Sources In an earlier blog, Resource Erectors looked at how the “green rush” to alternative energy technology has left the California power grid on the brink of collapse as the Golden State struggles with record-breaking heat waves and wildfires. Premature reliance on solar and wind power has […]
