Clean energy isn’t “woke.” It’s an essential part of our energy future and saves us all on power bills.

This administration’s war on offshore wind and solar is just going to raise Americans’ utilities.

Despite what you hear from fossil fuel-funded politicians, the U.K has just generated a record amount of clean, domestic wind energy.

Enough to power 23 million homes!

U.K decarbonisation policy is a recipe for energy security.

Australia just completed a 4,000-kilometer renewable energy transmission line — the longest clean energy highway ever built — connecting massive outback solar and wind farms directly to coastal cities that need power most.

Yet more fantastic renewable energy news, a million homes powered by clean, green energy. The cure to all your fossil fuel price gauging. We should have started this decades ago, but oil companies have so much power in politics.

So true!

Delaying clean energy is what really makes power bills soar

Delaying clean energy is what really makes power bills soar
What is making us poorer is not the move to clean energy – it is doing the transition slowly and badly.

California just cemented our status as home to the strongest battery energy storage system in America with 21,000+ megawatts plugged into our power grid.

We're powering the fourth-largest economy with clean energy that lasts long after the sun goes down.

Donald Trump may have gutted federal support for solar energy, but it's getting time to shine in Illinois.

With our Clean and Reliable Grid Affordability Act, we're incentivizing renewable energy with results like the launch of Clayco Power and Energy.

The construction firm will add nearly 1,000 employees nationwide by 2027 to its new unit, called Clayco Power and Energy.

Nearly 50,000 people in the Lake Tahoe area have been told that their utility will stop providing power to them, because it's redirecting that power to data centers.

Roughly 49,000 Lake Tahoe residents could lose 75% of their power after their energy provider said it's directing energy to neighboring data centers.

Squeezed by data centers' relentless demand for electricity, a Nevada energy company just said it's going to stop supplying energy to Tahoe. The city has a year to figure out how to meet 75% of its energy needs without it.
Lake Tahoe isn’t sure where it’s power will come from after the next ski season
The area’s longtime power supplier, NV Energy, will cut off the region next year. It has said data centers are driving “unprecedented” demand.

Two-thirds of California's power comes from clean energy.

For 9 in 10 days so far this year, we were 100% powered for some part of the day by clean energy.

The Golden State has become the world's fourth-largest economy because of our climate leadership, not in spite of it.

This is sickening. For comparison, this is more than the Department of Energy spent for all solar power and wind power R&D for the whole country.
ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.

If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

the energy, the power exhibited, on this move is aspirational
One of my coworkers, who is retiring at the end of the month, left work an hour early saying he didn’t want to lose an hour on the weekend so he was springing ahead now. Apparently he has been doing that for years.

Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative

Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

I will never not understand how a minority of people have decided that wind farms - significantly prettier than pylons, coal power plants, nuclear power plants, and almost certainly fusion power plants - are ugly. In terms of energy generation, what else are you hoping for that is better?
On holiday, I notice that there are wind turbines on the shore of Lake Garda, which very much makes me think that residents with a view of some incredibly mid Cotswold or other can put a sock in it.
