North Carolina just blocked 770 megawatts of cheap solar – power for about 200K homes! - while consumer bills keep rising.

Colorado just made it legal to plug solar panels into your apartment outlet + supply the grid + save on your bills. No electrician, rooftop, or homeownership required. The new law removes restrictions that blocked balcony solar statewide — opening clean energy savings to renters for the first time!

Illinois lawmakers have ended their push to legalize balcony solar, with safety concerns standing in the way. https://www.canarymedia.com/articles/solar/balcony-solar-bill-dies-illinois

One argument against clean energy has been reliability, but when the sun goes down, batteries take over. This new report shows it's also the cheapest to build and run. Solar + storage costs $54–82 per (MWh) New coal: $70–85 New gas plants: $100+ Solar = cheaper, and faster to build!

Wind Turbine Tech and Solar Installer are the two fastest growing jobs in America. Then Congress rolled back many clean energy incentives. Now a new report says we lost 5,600 of those jobs in Q1 2026 alone. The demand didn't disappear — we lost the policies to support it.

High electricity bills have multiple culprits: infrastructure, fuel prices, demand growth, and extreme weather, to name a few. @cleanaircatf.bsky.social breaks down what helps in a recent analysis: build supply, use the grid better, and cut reliance on volatile fuel. Fix it right or foot the bill!

Record amount of new power capacity expected in 2026 — nearly double from last year — led by solar, batteries & wind. This is a key to easing grid pressure! But the incentives making it happen are being cut or expiring. Which could mean higher energy bills.

Happy AAPI Heritage Month! May is a crucial month to celebrate Asian American, Pacific Islander, and Native Hawaiian individuals. We'll share more throughout the month on the AAPI community and clean energy!

"Utility bills in Michigan have risen because of rising electricity demand and utility spending on an aging grid, and this legislative proposal to undercut energy efficiency and renewable energy threatens to worsen affordability challenges, not address them." michiganadvance.com/2026/04/28/b...

Lowering energy costs is at the top of everyone's mind. One thing that can help? More energy efficient appliances at home. There may be benefits available to help offset costs. Check out this op-ed, specific to NM, to learn more. www.santafenewmexican.com/opinion/my_v...
