U.S. BOEM Finalizes Wind Energy Areas in the Central Atlantic
Areas have potential to support 4–8 gigawatts of clean renewable energy.

Repowering an existing wind farm is one way to get around the anti-wind movement and keep pumping more clean kilowatts into the grid.
This new high-tech lift will cut the cost of offshore wind even farther, faster if all goes according to plan (image courtesy of Seaqualize).
As of the end of 2021, 31 states and the District of Columbia had renewable portfolio standards (RPS) or clean energy standards (CES). These polices require electricity suppliers to supply a set share of their electricity from designated renewable resources or carbon-free eligible technologies. Four states — Delaware, Oregon, North Carolina, … [continued]
In October, I published reports on the top US solar states per capita, the top US solar states as a percentage of electricity, and the top US states in terms of total installed solar power capacity. Based on that first ranking system …
This report ranks US states according to the percentage of their electricity that comes from solar.
After digging into an old spreadsheet to create a new report on top solar power states per capita, it crossed my mind to compare the results from the first half of 2020 with the results from 2012, which is the last time I had published such a report before today.
If you’ve been reading CleanTechnica long enough, you know that 8 to 10 years ago, I used to publish reports on solar power capacity per capita — for both US states and countries around the world. I’m returning to these, starting with this one on the top solar states.
More bad news for oil and gas stakeholders, new high tech plastic recycling-upcycling research center launches at University of Delaware.
Wind covering Delaware is like the patch of solar panels in the Sahara. All primary energy will be supplied by renewable sources in a few decades. Petroleum, coal and natural gas won’t be used as primary energy sources except in rare and tiny cases.
