In the summer of 2022, the McKinney Fire tore through the hills above the Klamath River in Northern California — one of the West’s most storied…
Standing at the rim of Lake Powell, there’s nothing to warn you. No gauge on the canyon wall, no alarm, no visible sign that one of…
Tuscany is better known for cypress-lined roads and Renaissance art than for what might be stirring miles underground. Yet beneath its seemingly tranquil hills, scientists have…
The world needs rare earth magnets to build wind turbines, electric cars, and clean energy systems — yet producing them is notoriously toxic, and one country…
Standing at the rim of Lake Powell, there’s nothing to signal the danger. No gauge on the canyon wall, no alarm, no visible sign that one…
Oʻahu runs on more electricity per capita than almost anywhere else in the United States — and demand is climbing faster than it has in twenty…
Just northeast of Columbus, Ohio, the quiet Midwestern countryside doesn’t stay quiet for long. Lush fields and agrarian ponds give way to mile after mile of…
After Hurricane Maria tore through Puerto Rico in 2017, energy regulator Javier Rúa-Jovet watched the night sky glow along the horizon — thousands of diesel generators…
Beneath the surface of a tidal strait, a wing-shaped device sweeps silent figure-of-eight arcs through the current — not drifting, but flying, anchored to the seafloor…
A little-known Australian thermal energy storage company just signed a deal that could make it a cornerstone of the country’s AI infrastructure buildout. 1414 Degrees has…
Every leaf on every tree does something chemists have spent decades trying to copy: it catches sunlight and locks that energy into chemical bonds, quietly and…
A 20-meter fiberglass wind turbine blade — roughly the length of three city buses end to end — spent an unknown stretch of time drifting silently…
Along Egypt’s Red Sea coast, the semi-arid strip of Zafarana already hosts some of the country’s largest wind farms — and researchers believe its solar potential…
O’ahu runs on its own. No undersea cables connect the island to the mainland grid — if local generation falters, there’s no backup to call on.…
On a rooftop in Wilkinsburg, a small borough on Pittsburgh’s eastern edge, a nonprofit recently marked the end of a three-year effort — and what its…
In May 2026, California crossed a threshold no major economy had reached before. For an entire month, solar panels — from sprawling desert installations to rooftop…

Florida ranks as the nation’s second-largest electricity producer — and still can’t fully power itself. The state draws from the broader regional grid to cover the…
A petroleum engineer and co-inventor of a patented gas condensate treatment method and laureate of an industry award for energy conservation, explains where production facilities lose…
America’s federally managed reservoirs are everywhere — holding back rivers, supplying drinking water, quietly generating hydropower. Their surfaces, often spanning thousands of acres, spend most of…
Sudden gusts. Turbine wakes that ripple through a wind farm like interference on a signal. Storms powerful enough to destabilize the grid. For decades, wind energy…
As wind turbines expand closer to homes and villages, scientists need to know exactly how turbine noise behaves under real atmospheric conditions — not in a…
On July 3, as a heat wave pushed demand across New York State, the grid imported 52 gigawatt-hours of electricity from Canada — enough to cover…
