Sometime around July 21, 2026, boaters on Williston Reservoir in British Columbia came across something that had no business being there: a landmass roughly the size…
For nearly a decade, South Africa endured rolling blackouts that its state utility couldn’t fix. So businesses and homeowners fixed it themselves — pouring billions into…
America’s power grid is divided into regions that rarely share electricity across their boundaries. That’s largely still true today — but a 420-mile transmission line now…
When the Trump administration shredded the Biden-era $7 billion Regional Clean Hydrogen Hubs program, US green hydrogen stakeholders were left counting their losses. Offshore wind stalled.…
George Wolff was still wiping the day off his hands when he leaned out to greet a visitor from the window of a parked truck —…
Africa officially added about 4.5 GW of solar last year. It imported roughly 18 GW of modules in the same period. That gap isn’t a rounding…
When a government invokes national security to halt an offshore wind project, the warning lands with weight. Turbines rising from the sea — structures tall enough…
Flying into a hurricane means accepting that the plane might suddenly drop hundreds of meters with no warning. In 2021, one research flight plunged roughly 500…
Somewhere beneath the Atlantic, a shark is doing the work of a weather buoy — gliding through the warm, deep water that quietly powers hurricanes. It…
Over a million Sandhill Cranes converge on Nebraska each spring — and a new ruling just protected their migration route Every spring, more than a million…
Before dawn on January 23, 1973, the island of Heimaey shook awake. A mile-long fissure had split open just half a mile from town, shooting fountains…
Boston temperatures were climbing toward 90°F, air conditioners were running across the region, and electricity demand was rising — exactly the conditions a decade-long, $1 billion-plus…
Solar panels and frozen lakes don’t belong in the same sentence — at least not in any engineer’s comfort zone. Yet floating solar, a technology that…
In Germany, more than 4 million apartment dwellers have been doing it for years: prop a small solar panel on a balcony railing, plug it into…
For years, the glass bottle plant at 4202 Fidelity St. was part of the fabric of Jacinto City, Texas. Then it went quiet in July 2024…
Nebraska’s renewable energy tax is reshaping some communities, but wind and solar wealth piles up in just 10 counties In 2017, the O’Neill Public School District…
Massachusetts lawmakers have been celebrating a rare moment of bipartisan progress. Two energy bills — one from the House, one from the Senate — cleared the…
New Mexico’s wind farms threatened millions of birds — until conservationists rerouted river crossings and added wire diverters The largest renewable energy infrastructure project in U.S.…
The rolling hills of Vermont in August smell like warm earth, hydrangea, and sun-ripened tomatoes. What they don’t smell like — at least not at this…
Floating solar works remarkably well — until the water stops cooperating. On calm reservoirs and sheltered lakes, conventional systems perform reliably. But push them into choppy…
At Fresno’s Northeast Surface Water Treatment Plant, the solar array looks wrong at first glance. There are no steel frames, no elevated rows tilting toward the…
Most of the world’s strongest offshore winds blow over water too deep for conventional turbines to reach. Beyond roughly 200 feet of depth, the steel foundations…
Inside a wind tunnel at Politecnico di Milano, two scale-model turbines stand just three rotor diameters apart. The upstream one bobs and tilts on a robotic…
Arctic cold locked down the northeastern U.S. for weeks this winter — heating systems running flat out, electricity prices climbing, grid operators watching the margins shrink.…
North Carolina’s rooftop solar installers had every reason to brace for collapse. The 30% federal tax credit that made home panels affordable for millions of households…
Somewhere on the floor of the North Atlantic, roughly 200,000 barrels of radioactive waste sit in the cold and the dark — a quiet consequence of…
Beneath the glaciers and snowfields of High Mountain Asia, an invisible crisis is deepening. The region — known as the “Asian Water Tower” — feeds rivers…
China builds almost everything in its renewable energy supply chain itself. Foreign companies rarely get a seat at the table — and almost none have managed…
A parked wind turbine looks inert — blades locked, rotor still, no energy being generated. But stillness doesn’t mean safety. During extreme wind events, stationary blades…
On the Atlantic coast of Portugal, a breakwater sits under repair — battered by storms that halted one of Europe’s most closely watched wave energy projects…
Within a single week, the two largest reservoirs in the United States each fell to a new record low. Lake Mead dropped first. Then Lake Powell…
Russia’s crude oil production has entered what Rystad Energy calls “a new era of constraint.” In a statement sent to Rigzone in August 2026, the energy…
Canada’s oil sands producers have set a target window of late 2027 to early 2028 for a final investment decision on the Pathways carbon capture and…
Germany’s federal grid regulator got a lot more than it bargained for in its latest renewable energy tender. The Bundesnetzagentur announced results from the auction that…
Beneath the surface of San Francisco Bay, a wing-shaped device traces silent figure-of-eight loops through the water, tethered to a small fishing boat. It isn’t swimming.…
In a disaster zone or remote camp, power is often the first thing missing and the hardest to replace. Generators need fuel that may not arrive.…
Thousands of offshore wind turbines are set to rise along the U.S. Atlantic coast, forming the backbone of America’s push toward clean electricity. But these turbines…
For more than five minutes, a combustion chamber at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology sustained a sequence of controlled explosions — long enough to shatter a…
Fusion energy spent decades chasing one scientific goal: get more energy out of a reaction than you put in. In 2022, researchers finally did it. The…
Hydropower plants are among the oldest workhorses in the global energy mix — and in many cases, they’re running largely blind. Europe’s fleet averages 42 to…
On a breakwater on the Basque coast, the Bay of Biscay throws ocean swell against the concrete. Behind the wall sit sixteen sealed chambers, each open…
U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright announced that the federal government will unveil measures within days to help American refiners increase fuel output, as gasoline prices top…
Canada has ambitious plans to expand its crude export infrastructure, with six pipeline projects in various stages of planning or development — from incremental expansions to…
Five energy companies announced Monday they’ve cleared the final investment hurdle to build the Solitude Pipeline System — two parallel 48-inch natural gas pipelines running from…
The Mojave Desert outside Las Vegas looks barren to most passing eyes. But tucked beneath the scrub and sand lives the threecorner milkvetch — a rare…
Norwegian energy company Equinor ASA announced Monday it’s buying an 87.71 percent stake in the Lackawanna Energy Center — a 1,483-megawatt combined-cycle gas turbine plant in…
Every hurricane season, forecasters run into the same problem: warm water hiding beneath the ocean’s surface, invisible to satellites and beyond the reach of most monitoring…
