A Los Angeles port once used for oil storage is now home to a groundbreaking wave energy system that could power nearly 60,000 homes. The two-year pilot project might finally unlock the ocean's untapped clean energy potential.
A nearly €1 billion EU program is turning clean energy dreams into reality across Europe, funding thousands of local projects that have already saved enough energy to power every home in Ireland for a year. Real people like Ivana, Luca, and Angela are proving that Europe's green transition isn't just policy talk anymore.
America's renewable energy output reached a record 9.18 quadrillion Btu in 2025, nearly five times what it was in 1950. Wind, solar, and biofuels have surged more than 1,700% since 2000, fundamentally reshaping the nation's energy landscape.
Britain is making it easier to build windfarms and solar projects that will lower energy bills and boost energy security. The new plan protects critical clean energy infrastructure from lengthy legal delays.
In just 23 days after global conflict disrupted oil supplies, home solar requests jumped 21% as Americans sought control over their energy future. After 50 years of advocacy, it's uncertainty—not ideology—that's finally driving the clean energy revolution.
America just produced more energy than ever before, with solar and wind power hitting new records alongside natural gas and oil. The milestone marks four straight years of growth and shows clean energy thriving in the national energy mix.
A Portland company just landed $140 million to build floating data centers that run on ocean waves instead of fossil fuels. The technology could solve one of AI's biggest environmental problems while creating clean energy from the sea.
A major French geothermal company just secured €70 million to expand renewable heat across Europe, with clean energy investor RGREEN leading the charge. The funding will help unlock underground heat sources and even extract lithium for batteries, strengthening energy independence.
