Despite widespread fears of a coal comeback, global fossil fuel power generation fell in March as renewable energy filled the gap left by the Hormuz Strait closure. Clean energy added in 2024 alone now generates twice the electricity of all the LNG that used to pass through Hormuz.
Wisconsin is catching up to its Midwestern neighbors with a record number of clean energy projects heading for approval this year. The shift could save residents money while reducing the state's reliance on imported fossil fuels.
Nearly 40 percent of Europeans want to speed up renewable energy even if it temporarily raises their bills, according to a new survey across six major EU countries. The findings reveal strong public support for energy independence as global conflicts expose Europe's vulnerability to fossil fuel disruptions.
Great Britain just shattered its solar power generation record two days in a row, reaching an incredible 14.4 gigawatts. The country's clean energy capacity is growing faster than anyone expected.
Britain's solar farms just shattered generation records twice in one week, hitting 14.4GW as sunny skies powered homes across the country. The back-to-back wins show how far the UK's renewable energy has come. #
India just installed enough renewable energy to power millions of homes, achieving the highest clean energy growth in its history. The milestone puts the nation five years ahead of its climate goals.
India just shattered its own renewable energy records, installing over 50 GW of clean power in one year. The surge in solar and wind capacity marks the country's biggest leap toward a fossil-free future.
Turkey has approved more battery storage projects than any European Union country, signaling a clean energy boom in developing nations. The 33GW approval since 2022 nearly triples Germany's total capacity.
Michigan just unlocked $51 million in federal funding to install 83 electric vehicle charging stations across the state, including eight locations in and around Metro Detroit. The expansion will fill critical gaps in Michigan's EV network and make clean transportation more accessible to drivers everywhere.
Oman's renewable energy share skyrocketed from under 2% to nearly 10% since 2021, now powering 155,000 homes. The country just announced $23 billion in clean infrastructure investments through 2030.
Countries are accelerating their shift away from fossil fuels as renewable energy reaches new milestones. The UK just hit a record for clean power generation, while nations from New Zealand to Vietnam are canceling gas projects in favor of green alternatives.
More than half of Britain's electricity now comes from renewable sources like wind and solar for the first time ever. The milestone marks a major step toward the country's goal of clean power by 2030.
Britain's greenhouse gas emissions dropped 2% in 2025, hitting their lowest level since the 1870s and marking more than half a century's worth of progress toward a cleaner future. The nation achieved its first coal-free year in over 140 years while cutting total emissions to 367 million metric tons.
Global renewable energy capacity soared by 692 gigawatts in 2025, reaching a record 5,149 GW as countries turn to clean power amid energy security concerns. Solar and wind energy drove 97% of the growth, proving the world can expand green energy even during uncertain times.
Solar and wind power smashed records in 2025, adding 692 gigawatts of clean energy worldwide even as geopolitical crises threatened energy supplies. Countries investing in homegrown renewables are weathering economic storms better than those dependent on fossil fuel imports.
American homeowners and communities installed a record-breaking 1.9 gigawatts of small-scale solar panels in the final three months of 2025, marking the strongest quarter ever for distributed solar power. The surge reflects a growing shift toward clean energy that puts power generation right where people live and work.
A federal court lifted a government suspension on New York's massive Sunrise Wind project, allowing construction to continue on the offshore wind farm that will power 600,000 homes. The ruling protects thousands of jobs and keeps America's clean energy goals on track.
New Mexico's legislature just proved that climate progress doesn't need to wait for perfect timing. In a shortened 2026 budget session, state lawmakers pushed through several major clean energy wins that are already attracting billion-dollar investments.
Britain's wind turbines just set a world-leading generation record, producing enough clean electricity to power over 23 million homes in a single day. The milestone proves renewable energy can protect households from expensive fossil fuel imports.
Britain just shattered its wind energy record, with turbines generating enough clean electricity to power more than half the country. Gas dropped to just 2.3% of the energy mix, the lowest in nearly two years.
