Enfield, North Carolina, is getting a neighborhood-scale geothermal heating and cooling system — and hopes it’ll eventually cover all of the town’s 2,000 residents.

A federal judge ordered the Trump administration to stop arbitrarily holding up federal permits for new solar and wind projects. Major victory: www.canarymedia.com/articles/cle... via @mariagallucci.bsky.social

These cities and counties are speeding solar permitting with something we’re all carrying in our pockets: https://www.canarymedia.com/articles/solar/smartphones-rooftop-solar-cheaper-easier

“Out here in rural Minnesota, you see storage everywhere: grain elevators, propane tanks, fertilizer bins,” UMN Morris Sustainability Director Troy Goodnough said. “The energy transition will demand lots of different kinds of storage. It’s a natural fit for us.” buff.ly/s0cOtvV via @canarymedia.com

A first-of-its-kind thermal battery could help this Minnesota university make better use of its wind power supply — and make a case for thermal batteries across the country. https://www.canarymedia.com/articles/long-duration-energy-storage/thermal-battery-minnesota-campus

As a kid, I loved when Mr. Rogers would take a tour of the crayon factory. This @canarymedia.com article has the same vibe, but it’s (hopefully) the future of solar. www.canarymedia.com/articles/sol...

Remote virtual inspections are now a well-tested tool for contractors and building agencies alike — and those using the tech are saving a lot of time and money. That's why solar and electrification advocates want more states to adopt them: www.canarymedia.com/articles/sol... #energysky

As we approach summer and the sun shines more brightly, some of us are thinking more about solar. Here's some practical info!

Offshore wind may be sputtering in the U.S., but around the world, more turbines are spinning than ever. https://www.canarymedia.com/articles/wind/world-offshore-wind-us-retreat

Perovskites still haven’t infiltrated the cold, hard world of commercial solar manufacturing. Can @tandempv.bsky.social crack the code?

The federal government’s wind and solar blockade is over — at least for now. https://www.canarymedia.com/articles/clean-energy/us-judge-halts-trump-admins-blockade-on-new-wind-and-solar-projects

Offshore wind isn’t slowing globally—just shifting. China, Europe, and Asia are driving growth as countries prioritize energy security and lower-cost power. U.S. policy headwinds are the outlier. via @mariagallucci.bsky.social in @canarymedia.com www.canarymedia.com/articles/win...

Will the global shipping industry set sail toward a cleaner future — or will the Trump administration change its course once again? From Grist" https://www.canarymedia.com/articles/sea-transport/shipping-first-carbon-tax

"Already huge in Germany, solar that’s as easy to install as an appliance would be a game changer for the 4 out of 10 U.S. households that can’t get rooftop systems for financial or logistical reasons." From @alisontakemura.bsky.social via @canarymedia.com

Fervo Energy is going public. Here’s what its IPO filing reveals about its geothermal plans. https://www.canarymedia.com/articles/climatetech-finance/fervo-energy-geothermal-ipo-filing

Enhanced geothermal startup Fervo Energy is officially looking to go public. Here’s what its IPO filing revealed about its long-term goals.

This tiny North Carolina town has big clean energy ambitions, and it’s stepping forward with a neighborhood-scale geothermal heating and cooling system.

Smart thermostats automatically adjust temperatures to avoid peak power rates or use cleaner energy. In Arizona, they’re curbing grid strain too.

Julian Spector reports on the deployment of big grid batteries in New England, "where acute power needs and robust state climate goals are fueling a buildout of big batteries that keep breaking capacity records." www.canarymedia.com/articles/bat... 🔌💡

Take an exclusive tour of Tandem PV’s new solar perovskite factory before it opens tomorrow:

What to know before you get balcony #solar 🌟 States are starting to embrace plug-and-play solar. Get up to speed on the cost, payback, and safety bona fides of the systems before they hit shelves near you. www.canarymedia.com/articles/sol...

Trump has a new biofuels-boosting policy. It’s terrible for consumers, the climate, the hungry, and the country, writes @mikegrunwald.bsky.social.

California requires new multifamily housing to include EV chargers. This bill could exempt affordable development from the rule.

New England just turned on its biggest battery yet — but don’t expect this array to hold the record for long. www.canarymedia.com/articles/bat...

Data centers can now build their own clean power in Georgia — but will this new program stave off a gas plant expansion?

The latest trial of Ohio’s utility bailout scandal ended with a hung jury. Here’s what to expect in a new trial.

Vermont’s first neighborhood geothermal project just broke ground. Soon, it’ll be heating and cooling a 36-unit development.

New England’s battery buildout is scaling fast — 250 MW is already topped by a planned 700 MW project. Policy incentives and high power prices are driving growth, but short-term contracts still make revenue unpredictable. via @canarymedia.com www.canarymedia.com/articles/bat...

I wrote about how Trump is making America's terrible biofuel policies even worse - and how most Democrats and environmentalists are too afraid to fight back. @canarymedia.com www.canarymedia.com/articles/foo...

@canarymedia.com: “In most cases, homes can go all-electric on 100 amps.” New research shows most homes can go all-electric on as little as 100 amps. No expensive upgrades. No volatile gas heating. No indoor air pollution. Read more: www.canarymedia.com/articles/ele...

#Georgia approved a new program letting big power users fund their own clean energy projects. The goal: support data center growth without raising rates. Big unknown—will it actually reduce planned gas buildouts? via @jeffstjohn.bsky.social in @canarymedia.com www.canarymedia.com/articles/dat...

BYONCE is coming to Georgia. Regulators approved Georgia Power’s plan to let data center developers pay for their own clean energy and storage.

Green steel production is finally coming to Europe. Stegra has secured the financing it needs to build a first-of-its-kind, green hydrogen-powered steel mill in Sweden.

Data centers and other big customers of Georgia Power have won a way to pay for their own new clean energy projects—a win for BYONCE in the Southeast. But can this new clean energy offset the utility's massive and costly gas-fired power plant plans? www.canarymedia.com/articles/dat... #energysky

Residents in this rural Ohio county are deciding whether to overturn a ban on wind and solar development. Could they inspire similar referendums across the U.S.?

The deadlocked jury in last month's #HB6 trial of former FirstEnergy execs Chuck Jones & Michael Dowling means both sides get a do-over in the fall. Here's how lessons learned could affect what happens then. @canarymedia.com @ejtodaynews.bsky.social www.canarymedia.com/articles/uti...

A major criminal trial following Ohio’s utility bailout scandal ended with a hung jury. Here’s how complex energy issues may have derailed jurors.

This big geothermal project will heat and cool a Vermont neighborhood — and could pave the way for bigger projects to come.

California has one of the most equitable EV-charging policies in the nation. A new bill would exempt affordable housing from its rules.

When this rural Ohio county banned large-scale wind and solar projects, a group of residents quickly united to fight back. Now, voters will decide whether the ban stays, or whether clean energy will have a chance.

A developer is backing out of its San Diego-area battery plans after fears of fires and other risks sparked community opposition.

Minnesota’s Xcel Energy is about to be the U.S.’s first utility to build and operate a virtual power plant.

A critical deadline for federal solar tax credits is approaching. This Massachusetts program wants to make sure nonprofits take advantage.

Whale welfare was an excuse for Trump to attack offshore wind. Now, the White House is putting endangered creatures at risk for offshore drilling.

Data centers are on the ballot in cities across the U.S. — but just failed their first big test.

The U.S. offshore wind industry is finally catching a break as the Trump administration quietly gives up its chance to appeal court rulings. From @grist.org:

Amazing stat buried in this @canarymedia.com story about NIMBY opposition defeating a battery project in San Diego County: On March 29 at 7 p.m., batteries supplied 44% (!!) of California's electricity. www.canarymedia.com/articles/bat...

@fervoenergy.bsky.social locks in 1.75 GW of turbine capacity to scale next-gen #geothermal. Big signal: firm, carbon-free power is gaining traction with data centers. Next challenge—can supply chains keep up? via @mariagallucci.bsky.social in @canarymedia.com www.canarymedia.com/articles/geo...

In a first for the U.S. grid, renewables generated more power than gas across a whole month.
