It's a major milestone for renewable energy.
The post Solar Just Produced More Electricity Than Coal for the First Time in the History of the United States appeared first on Futurism.
Solar provides more than twice the share of electricity it did five years ago.
Middle East tension has pushed up energy prices and boosted demand for South African coal, raising questions about climate commitments and exports
The prototype could bring steady power to remote sites and AI data centers.
The pilot turns unused railway space into a small but closely watched solar test.

Birmingham researchers have developed a new method for producing hydrogen fuel that costs less than existing approaches. Hydrogen has long been hailed as a key fuel for a low-carbon future, capable of powering everything from heavy industry to transportation without producing carbon emissions at the point of use. Yet there is a major contradiction at [...]
"The future demands more compute than we can imagine."
The post Peter Thiel Working on Floating Data Centers in the Ocean appeared first on Futurism.
It isn't easy harnessing the power of waves in the sea to generate electricity, but a Spanish engineering firm is giving it the ol' college try with a giant floating buoy.

Researchers have developed a new catalyst that could make hydrogen production cheaper and more practical for renewable energy systems. Hydrogen has long been viewed as one of the most promising clean fuels because it can store renewable energy and produce no carbon emissions when used. Yet producing hydrogen efficiently and affordably has remained a major [...]
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) shot back at California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) for making a misleading claim about his state's renewable energy usage while calling the agency's secretary an "oil shill."
The post Dept. of Energy Fact-Checks Gavin Newsom’s Clean Energy Claim: ‘FALSE’ appeared first on Breitbart.
Scientists built a long-lasting water battery with a neutral, food-adjacent electrolyte.
With oil prices skyrocketing following the US and Israel’s bombing of Iran, and the subsequent closure of the Strait of Hormuz, motorists around the world have been looking for ways to save money.
The household has been at the far end of a long fragile string for a century. Energy sovereignty is the move out. Solarpunk 2.0, and the triad that builds it.
In northern Switzerland, a construction team is hard at work excavating a hole in the ground that will end up being over 88 ft (27 m) deep, and spanning the length of two soccer pitches. This pit will be home to Switzerland's first redox flow battery for storing clean energy – and it'll be the most powerful of its kind in the world.

Scientists are exploring a method to convert plastic waste into fuels and valuable chemicals using sunlight, potentially addressing both pollution and energy challenges. Scientists are developing a potential solution to two major global problems, plastic pollution and clean energy, by using sunlight to turn discarded plastics into useful fuels. A new study led by University [...]
South Africa is positioning itself as a key player in the global race for critical minerals but new research and warnings suggest those closest to extraction might lose out, echoing long-standing inequalities in the mining sector

For more than a century, the world has run on coal. When Thomas Edison’s Pearl Street electrical station in Lower Manhattan fired up in 1882, it ran on coal. Coal survived the oil era, the nuclear era, the dash for natural gas, and decades of back-and-forth climate policy. From the 1970s through the mid-2010s, coal […]
