Renewable energy has clearly turned a corner and hit the inflection points that so many pundits have forecast for so long. Since the invention of the solar panel more than 70 years ago through 2022, the world added 1 terrawatt of solar energy production capacity. From 2022 through the end … [continued]
A recent project for carbon capture using renewable energy was kiboshed after years of exploration and development. It was called Project Bison, and it was set to be built in Wyoming, where there is a ton of renewable energy. The idea was that this plentiful, cheap, clean energy could be … [continued]
The US developer Hecate has 11 gigawatts of solar energy and storage projects under its belt and 47 more gigawatts in its pipeline.
It was reported recently that Poland was on track to add about 4 gigawatts (GW) of solar power in 2024. Though, the final numbers are not yet available. Apparently, in November 2024, it was short about 0.3 GW, which means it was on schedule for a total of about 4 … [continued]
There is a strange confluence of clean energy and pork production near Milford, Utah, 208 miles south of Salt Lake City, and 30 miles west of Beaver. Located there, just north of Milford in Beaver County, is the largest solar farm in Utah. It is the Escalante Solar Project, which … [continued]
Not so long ago, France ushered in a new era of solar energy with the passage of a new law that mandates a large rise in solar canopies. The country’s new regulation requires large parking lots to have at least 50% of their space covered in solar canopies. It applies … [continued]
Trump or no Trump, a new bidirectional clean energy transmission line is on track for construction to commence this year, connecting wind and solar resources in Idaho, Nevada, and California.
There’s a growing war on renewable energy, particularly in “red” districts and states in the USA. One of the things that is often bewilderingly forgotten by those attacking renewable energy is the enormous tax revenue (and overall economic benefits) solar, wind, and battery storage projects provide. A new report focused … [continued]
In our latest Short-Term Energy Outlook (STEO), we expect that U.S. renewable capacity additions—especially solar—will continue to drive the growth of U.S. power generation over the next two years. We expect U.S. utilities and independent power producers will add 26 gigawatts (GW) of solar capacity to the U.S. electric power sector in … [continued]
The latest research from California explodes the myth that renewables are not reliable. It turns out, the opposite is true.
