Ohio’s largest utility wants to slash solar net-metering payments, which would surely discourage customers from putting panels on their homes.

Is the US headed toward an electricity crisis of its own making? I and several other folks in this article say: yes www.canarymedia.com/articles/cle...

"We’re a poor state. We need industry. To have a new industry that is unique to us, floating offshore wind, now targeted by the feds … It feels like a kick in the teeth." - Lincoln Varnum, former engineer at UMaine, laid off by Trump's cuts Thanks @mainemorningstar.com for republishing my story.

It’s been a year since Trump declared an energy emergency. Since then, experts say we’ve done little to tackle it — and a full-blown crisis is on its way.

AEP Ohio has taken aim at Ohio's net metering rules. Both the OPSB staff and environmental advocates see no reason to cut compensation for rooftop solar owners who supply excess power to the grid. @canarymedia.com @ejtodaynews.bsky.social www.canarymedia.com/articles/sol...

Happy new year! Might not feel like an optimistic time out of the gate, so here's a friendly reminder from the good folks @canarymedia.com: The clean energy transition had its best year ever in 2025, and it will almost certainly do the same in 2026 www.canarymedia.com/articles/cle...

From the rise of virtual power plants to Canada’s push for offshore wind, here’s what Canary reporters will be watching in 2025.

All signs point to Trump’s second term creating a hotter and less affordable future for Americans. Without new offshore turbines going up, millions of households across the Northeast will soon pay more money for dirtier and less reliable electricity. My latest 👇

What do you do with a Superfund site? Put community solar on it! www.canarymedia.com/articles/sol...

Here's @canarymedia.com's (non-exhaustive) to-do list for 2026... what else are you all tracking on the energy transition front this year? www.canarymedia.com/articles/cle... #energysky

A remediated Superfund site in Illinois is now providing clean solar power to a local school district and about 1,000 nearby homes.

Happy New Year! One big theme I'm watching in 2026 is the increasing gap between energy-transition vibes (bad) and the growth of clean energy (good). Check out the rest of the Canary team's thoughts for 2026 at the link: www.canarymedia.com/articles/cle...

David Stevenson has solar on his roof and drives a hybrid. How did he become the leader of the movement that helped Trump crush offshore wind farms? From @fieseler.bsky.social via @canarymedia.com

The energy affordability crisis came to a head in 2025. Here’s how it shaped elections, state policy, and everyday life.

Canary Media reporters covered a ton of news this year, but we didn’t get to everything. Here are 13 stories we wish we’d written.

In 2025, energy “dominance” and “abundance” entered the lexicon, while “climate change” was pushed out.

Canary Media reported more than 600 stories last year. Here are 11 of our best.

The Trump administration had a clear enemy No. 1 in 2025: Offshore wind.

2025 has come and gone, and we still don’t know how we’ll protect ratepayers from data centers’ booming power usage — or if that demand will even materialize.

No energy industry spurred a global conversation quite like nuclear this year — but all that talk didn’t translate to much action.

The Trump administration tried to take a sledgehammer to clean energy this year. And while he took a few good chunks out of the industry, it’s still going strong.

A lot of Trump administration moves this year were bad news for clean energy — but not its efforts to jump-start critical mineral production. From @grist.org:

It was a rough year for clean energy, but the industry is still on its way up. Here are 10 charts that prove it.

Massachusetts’ gas phaseout had a strong start. Now, it’s largely stalled out, and a seemingly arcane legal battle is to blame.

Kansas is already a wind power leader. Now, it’s about to add solar power to the mix.

Swapping fossil fuel appliances for electric could help heavy manufacturers quickly slash their emissions. This new report suggests the best way to get started.

Say hello to the meter socket adaptor: a simple tool that can turn multi-day home solar and battery installations into plug-and-play jobs.

The Interior Department ordered work on the U.S.’s five under-construction wind farms to pause. Their developers all learned about it from Fox News.

Because it's clean and cheaper and faster to build!

Massachusetts’ gas phaseout has stalled, and a legal battle between utilities, regulators, and advocates is to blame.

Kansas’ wind power leadership has come at the expense of its solar power potential. That’s about to change.

The impeccable @fieseler.bsky.social breaks news of what offshore wind developers were told today in writing… an hour or two *after* the Trump admin announced it was halting construction Story also notes the current head of the offshore energy agency is a former NOIA lobbyist (offshore drilling)

Installers have won approval from a growing number of utilities to use meter socket adapters to circumvent complex electrical work that can add days of labor and thousands of dollars in costs to installations, reports @jeffstjohn.bsky.social: www.canarymedia.com/articles/dis... 🔌💡

The Trump admin. ordered all five under-construction wind farms in the US to ​“suspend all ongoing activities” for 90 days, citing unspecified national security concerns.

EXCLUSIVE: I received a copy of the letter sent to developers today halting construction on all 5 offshore wind farms being built in America. What’s new here is the close “coordination” with the “Department of War” in determining the “risk” poised by these wind farms. And the threat to “cancel.”

Want to lower 'soft costs' of home solar, battery and EV charging? Meter socket adapters like Tesla's Backup Switch and ConnectDER's IslandDER can save big on labor and equipment. Now, the trick is getting more utilities to let installers to use them: www.canarymedia.com/articles/dis... #energysky

3 of the 5 wind farms just halted are in New England 🔍 There were "no major military issues that came to the fore in New England,” Bill White told me in August. He represented Mass. on a federally-led task force siting offshore wind farm areas. Here's the public record of the task force. 👇 🧵

It’s not easy to decarbonize heavy industry. This new report helps manufacturers decide the best place to start.

These simple metal rings can turn a multi-day solar panel installation into a half-day, plug-and-play job.

The PJM Interconnection’s latest capacity auction broke another record. That’s not a good sign for power prices.
