In the evolving landscape of renewable energy in North America, a striking trend has emerged: power purchase agreement (PPA) prices for wind energy are climbing at a much faster rate than those for solar, with wind costs spiking nearly 14% annually compared to a more modest increase for solar.

In a world increasingly driven by artificial intelligence, the unseen backbone of this revolution—massive data centers—consumes energy at an alarming rate, raising critical questions about sustainability and infrastructure capacity. Recent estimates suggest that these facilities, which fuel tools

As we face growing challenges with power outages and grid reliability, innovative solutions like battery storage systems are stepping in to protect vulnerable communities. Today, we’re speaking with Christopher Hailstone, a seasoned expert in energy management and renewable energy, who brings a

What happens when the promise of millions in savings clashes with the specter of environmental harm? In the North East of England, a proposed waste incinerator at Teesworks near Grangetown, Redcar, has ignited a fierce debate. Known as the Tees Valley Energy Recovery Facility (TVERF), this project

What happens when an industry poised to save the planet loses billions in a single year? Right now, the clean energy sector in the U.S. is grappling with a staggering $24 billion drop in investments, a figure that has sent shockwaves through boardrooms and communities alike, raising urgent concerns

As urbanization accelerates and skyscrapers dominate city skylines, the energy demands of modern buildings have reached unprecedented levels, placing immense pressure on sustainability efforts. Elevators, often an afterthought in building design, are significant contributors to this energy

Setting the Stage for Grid Innovation In an era where data centers are the lifeblood of technological progress, the staggering energy demands driven by artificial intelligence (AI) are pushing global power grids to their limits, creating an urgent need for innovative solutions. With data centers in

In a world increasingly saturated with synthetic substances, the pervasive threat of chemical pollution extends far beyond physical harm, subtly influencing behavior in both humans and wildlife in ways that are often overlooked, while the potential for widespread exposure grows with an estimated

In an era where corporate sustainability is under intense scrutiny, a staggering statistic emerges: data centers powering Big Tech operations are projected to consume up to 9% of U.S. electricity by 2030, driven by soaring demands from cloud computing and AI. Amid this energy surge, 16 Republican

Setting the Stage for a Power Market Revolution The U.S. power sector is experiencing a seismic shift, with electricity demand surging at rates not seen in decades, driven by data centers, electric vehicles, and industrial growth. This unprecedented growth, projected to increase by 1.1% to 2.2%
