As temperatures soar past 40°C and India hits record electricity demand, solar energy now provides nearly one-third of daytime power—easing pressure on coal plants. This marks a turning point in how the country powers through extreme heat.
For the first time since 1919, renewable energy sources now generate more of the world's electricity than coal. Solar power alone has grown tenfold in just a decade, proving clean energy isn't just the future—it's happening right now.
China Energy just cracked a code that could cut coal power emissions in half while keeping the lights on reliably. Their breakthrough lets power plants burn 35% green hydrogen with coal, shattering the previous 10% global limit.
China just reached a historic energy milestone that seemed impossible a decade ago. The world's largest carbon emitter now has more solar power capacity installed than coal.
Solar panels across Europe generated a record 13% of the continent's electricity in 2025, overtaking coal and hydro for the first time. Even better news: wind and solar together now produce more power than all fossil fuels combined.
The world's largest carbon emitter just hit a historic clean energy milestone. China's solar capacity has officially overtaken coal-fired power, marking a turning point in the global fight against climate change.
The sun just became humanity's fastest-growing power source, with global solar capacity set to meet over 20% of the world's energy needs by 2030. Countries from China to Pakistan are slashing coal use as solar prices drop to just pennies per kilowatt-hour.
A 150-year-old coal mine in Illinois has transformed into a thriving solar farm powering more than 650 homes and businesses. The project turns decades of environmental damage into clean energy for the future.
