The Bureau of Land Management has announced the first competitive lease auctions for renewable energy development across its 19 Solar Energy Zones – the start of a potential 23.7GW new solar energy capacity.
Solar energy could supply one-third of all electrical demands in the Western US by 2050 while massively cutting emissions – if DOE’s SunShot Initiative succeeds, according to a new report from University of California, Berkeley researchers.
A solar energy revolution is dawning in America, led by the “Dazzling Dozen” – twelve states whose progressive policies dominate the solar industry with 85% of all US solar capacity but just 28% of the total population.
Environment America’s “Lighting the Way” report outlines their successful policies and illuminate the path forward to a nationwide clean energy economy.
Following our top solar states rankings and our top solar countries rankings, below are rankings that mix the two. The rankings are for total and new solar power capacity per capita as well as total and new solar power per GDP. I thin the results are very interesting…. If you … [continued]
Last year, I put together rankings of the top solar power countries per capita, per GDP, and per TWh of electricity production. In January, I then created rankings of the top solar power states per capita and followed those up with rankings of the top solar power states per capita … [continued]
Update: Some sentences and links have been added to this post to provide better context and comparison. Update #2: I’ve published two articles on energy subsidies in response to comments on this post regarding that matter. They are: “Energy Subsidies — Clean Energy Subsidies vs Fossil Subsidies” and “Oil Subsidies & … [continued]
If you look at the Arizona Governor’s Office of Energy Policy website there is an entry for a huge 4,000 MW solar power project, which is under investigation for potential development. It says the Navajo Hopi Land Commission (NHLCO), Navajo Nation received over $300,000 for the conducting of a feasibility study for the development of 4,000 MW of solar power in 22,000-acres of Paragon-Bisti lands in northwestern New Mexico […]
