The self-proclaimed “most comprehensive annual overview of the state of renewable energy” was published this week by the Renewable Energy Policy Network for the 21st Century, confirming reports from earlier this year that a total of 161 gigawatts of new renewble energy capacity was installed in 2016.
Arcadia Power, which concentrates on making clean renewable energy available to everyone, has raised an additional $6 million in its latest funding round.
The head of American Electric Power says Trump’s decision to pull out of the Paris climate accords does nothing to change the fact that clean energy is cheaper than coal and is the wave of the future.
One day before the Trump Paris pullout, the US Energy Department came through with a pitch for wind and solar energy and a seamless national grid.

No, not where the grid’s technology and regulations have been modernized. In those places, overall grid operation has improved, not worsened.
You want numbers proving that Trump is on the wrong side of history when it comes to climate change, the Paris agreement, and the battle between clean energy and dirty coal? We’ve got numbers for you.
