America just got its largest electricity producer as Constellation completes its acquisition of Calpine, combining nuclear, natural gas, and geothermal power to fuel the nation's AI revolution. The merger creates 55 gigawatts of clean energy capacity serving 2.5 million customers nationwide.
Giant batteries storing renewable energy grew from 10 gigawatts to 124 gigawatts worldwide between 2019 and 2024, while costs dropped by more than half. This explosive growth is helping solar and wind power reliably meet electricity demand even when the sun isn't shining and the wind isn't blowing.
Beaming electricity from space could become as affordable as nuclear power within 16 years, according to a groundbreaking UK government study. The technology promises constant clean energy that works even when the sun sets on Earth.
The United Kingdom and California just signed a major agreement to work together on clean energy innovation and climate solutions. The partnership will boost offshore wind, hydrogen tech, and create new jobs across both economies.
Scientists at Case Western Reserve University just solved one of renewable energy's biggest problems: how to safely store massive amounts of wind and solar power. Their new battery electrolytes could make grid-scale energy storage both safer and more practical.
Battery and energy storage technologies are leading a global innovation boom, with over 150 breakthroughs identified in 2025. Energy security is now driving more innovation than cost or climate concerns. #
A British renewable energy company is pouring nearly $1 billion into California's clean technology sector, backing everything from carbon removal startups to industrial heat batteries. The investment marks one of the largest foreign bets on American clean energy innovation.
Alberta is putting $28 million toward six innovative projects that will boost energy production while cutting emissions. The funding spans energy, agriculture, and environmental cleanup initiatives across the province.
A groundbreaking agreement between nuclear startup Oklo and industrial giant Siemens Energy is turning advanced nuclear power from concept into reality. The partnership secures critical equipment for America's first next-generation reactor, proving clean nuclear energy can move from drawing board to deployment.
Chinese scientists just solved a puzzle that's held back solar power for years. By protecting the edges of fragile silicon wafers, they unlocked record-breaking efficiency that could make solar energy even cheaper.
Scientists in Japan have created the world's first titanium-selenium solar cells that could make panels 1,000 times more powerful than today's models. The breakthrough arrives as solar energy adoption accelerates worldwide.
Sweden is putting $25 million toward clean energy projects that could transform how the country powers its future. Universities, companies, and researchers have until April 2026 to apply for funding to advance nuclear, wind, solar, and hydrogen solutions.
China just flipped the switch on a massive battery storage system that could transform how the world stores clean energy. The breakthrough uses cutting-edge technology to hold enough power for tens of thousands of homes.
