Pulling billions of tons of CO2 out of the atmosphere is one of the hardest things humanity has ever attempted. The technologies built for it —…
Floating solar has a quiet limitation most people never notice: it only works where the water stays calm. Reservoirs, sheltered lakes, protected bays — these have…
Solar panels and crops can share land — a new model shows both come out ahead Solar farms are expanding fast — and so is the…
Data centers are betting billions on small nuclear reactors, but experts warn the technology may not arrive in time Data centers are facing a genuine energy…
The same administration that canceled billions in clean energy grants and spent nearly $4 billion buying back offshore wind leases just approved a landmark ocean energy…
Central Utah’s color changed in less than two years from space. In a June 2024 Landsat image, Castle Valley was mostly tan, indicating undeveloped ground. In…
Norway’s Voldsfjorden, two sun circles float alongside cod pens and turn an aquaculture site into an offshore power station. Typically solar panels should be installed on…
Small solar panels power stations, with antennas that dip into frozen darkness across Greenland’s ice sheet. They are designed to detect radio flashes from ultra-high-energy neutrinos…
Three floating wind turbines stand in the Atlantic some 12 miles off the coast of northern Portugal, with marine life swimming beneath. Offshore wind is frequently…
On April 8, 2024, the Moon caused a twilight to occur during the day in Texas, and the electric grid responded almost instantaneously. Solar farms typically…
Oyster cages were carried from the Chesapeake Bay by a floating platform in Baltimore harbor for months. Oysters are typically kept in stationary cages and food…
A sampling frame was pressed against the bottom of a solar floater in the Dutch North Sea. The platforms above floated on the water like a…
Water flooded a concrete chamber in Idaho’s Dworshak Dam that has been dry for about 50 years. A powerhouse with an empty bay inside can appear…
In a remote western Australian location, rows of solar panels feed electricity towards machines that listen beyond Earth. Solar power typically is the answer to an…
In seconds, a hailstone can hit a solar panel and cause damage that can last for a long time. Homeowners tend to look at the panel’s…
A tawny cat moved between rows of solar equipment after dark, its presence captured only by a remote camera. Solar plants may seem like places wildlife…
A small fox emerged beside rows of solar panels on California’s Carrizo Plain, where industrial development had transformed a once-familiar landscape. Solar farms are often assumed…
A grid of fenced solar panel fields crisscrosses the map of northwestern New Mexico, with GPS tracks circling them. In the case of bigger animals, a…
For years, large-scale green hydrogen projects have run into the same wall: complex custom engineering, extended timelines, and total system costs that frequently approached or exceeded…
On May 20, 2022, the Palisades Power Plant in Covert, Michigan, went offline — not quietly, but after a site and world record 577 consecutive days…
