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.
A neck-and-neck race for renewable hydrogen is taking shape in the US Northeast, with New Hampshire on track for startup this summer.
New Hampshire has a $4.6 million plan to boost electric vehicle road trips across the state, with plans to install electric vehicle (EV) fast chargers along 6 major routes in the geographically small state.

Local leadership is having a global impact on the fight to stop climate change and transition to 100 percent clean and renewable energy.
As the first installments of the $3 billion Volkswagen has agreed to pay to clean up its diesel emissions mess begin to arrive, states are trying hard to figure out how to spend all that money.
Sometimes it seems the best of everything is passing away.
New Hampshire, home to some of the highest utility costs in the nation, could be fertile ground for community energy projects that promote lower-cost, renewable generation — especially after investors in one shared solar array pioneered a strategy to promote greater local ownership.
From the “Brews and Bills” file: Last Friday, Governor Maggie Hassan joined ReVision Energy co-founder Phil Coupe at Throwback Brewery in North Hampton for a ceremonial signing of HB1116 — New Hampshire’s landmark solar energy bill — which Governor Hassan officially signed into law in May.
