A new wave energy device uses a spinning gyroscope to capture ocean power across all wave conditions, reaching maximum efficiency that previous designs could only dream of. This breakthrough could finally make wave energy a practical renewable power source.
The first major wave energy testing facility in the continental United States is now operational off Oregon's coast, opening the door for clean electricity generation from ocean waves. Despite federal hurdles for other renewable energy projects, this breakthrough facility could eventually power more than half of America's electrical needs.
The first large-scale wave energy testing facility on the continental U.S. coast just opened off Oregon, giving developers a place to test technologies that generate clean electricity from ocean waves. The site could help unlock an energy source with potential to power more than half of America's electrical needs.
America's first pre-permitted ocean wave energy testing facility just opened off Oregon's coast, giving clean energy innovators a chance to prove their technology works at commercial scale. After 15 years of planning, PacWave South can now test devices that turn ocean waves into electricity for the power grid.
Researchers designed the first standardized method for building wave energy converters, tech that could meet a third of U.S. electricity needs. The breakthrough could finally move ocean power from labs to real-world use.
A groundbreaking wave energy station just cleared a major hurdle in Portugal, bringing ocean-powered electricity one step closer to reality. This innovative system turns coastal waves into clean power without disrupting the environment.
Scientists just made it easier and cheaper to capture energy from ocean waves, which could power 60% of U.S. electricity needs. A new open-source system called MODAQ 2 gives developers the data they need to turn wave power into a reality.
Israel's first grid-connected wave energy station at Jaffa Port is turning ocean waves into clean electricity and proving the technology gets stronger as waves get bigger. The pilot project has run for over a year with zero downtime, generating real-world data that could transform how coastal cities power themselves.
When record heat waves pushed America's power grid to the breaking point, solar panels and battery storage stepped up to keep air conditioners running. This summer proved that renewable energy isn't just good for the planet—it's becoming essential for keeping the lights on.
A Japanese researcher has cracked a major puzzle in renewable energy: how to efficiently capture power from ocean waves at any frequency. The breakthrough gyroscopic device could finally make wave power a reliable clean energy source.
Scientists just solved one of wave energy's biggest problems with a custom part that captures eight times more power than standard equipment. The breakthrough could speed up clean energy innovation across the entire industry.
Rooftop solar panels saved New England residents more than $130 million during July's heat wave, proving clean energy investments pay off when it matters most. The savings came as solar provided up to 25% of the region's electricity during peak demand.
A Swedish company is bringing a first-of-its-kind ocean platform that harvests wave, wind, and solar energy simultaneously to Costa Rica's Pacific coast. The hybrid system could produce 160% more energy than single-source ocean platforms while cutting costs.
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.
