Your Windows Could Soon Be Generating Clean Energy

For most of their existence, photovoltaic solar panels have maintained the same form factor: dark, opaque panels that are typically placed on the roof (or the ground) to convert solar energy into electricity. Scientists from Michigan State University have now developed a revolutionary new design that ditches the traditional form factor for a completely new one: transparent panels. Solar panels with this new design could serve the dual function of both window and energy generator, keeping the elements out of buildings while they quietly generate clean energy. Although the idea seems like something you'd see in science fiction, Michigan State…

SolarBank Corp. (NASDAQ: SUUN) (Cboe CA: SUNN) (FSE: GY2) Aligns Strategy as North American Energy Policy Shifts

U.S. clean energy tax credits under the new Big Beautiful Bill require projects to commence construction by July 4, 2026, and complete within four years. SolarBank has enough advanced-stage U.S. projects to meet this timeline, backed by a $100 million financing deal with CIM Group. The company is prioritizing construction on a 97 MW portfolio in key states with interconnection and permitting progress. In Canada, SolarBank is deploying battery systems in Ontario under decade-long IESO contracts and expanding in Nova Scotia’s Community Solar program. Canada’s “Build, baby, build” policy push under Prime Minister Mark Carney favors developers with shovel-ready assets.…

Latin America on Course to Lead Shift to Clean Energy

Latin America's accelerated adoption of green energy is positioning the region at the forefront of the global transition to renewables. With renewable energy capacity surging across several countries, Latin America is on track to become a global leader in green energy adoption, especially if the U.S. fails to improve its approach to renewables. Despite being historically the world's largest polluter (only surpassed by China in recent decades), the U.S. lacks a coherent long-term green energy policy. The Trump administration revoked most of the prior administration's renewables-related policies and recently dealt a significant blow to American green energy with the passage…

GOP Budget Act Takes US Backwards on Renewable Energy

President Donald Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ has dealt a catastrophic blow to America’s renewable energy ambitions. After spending the past several months undoing hundreds of the previous administration’s climate action-related policies, the Trump administration may have just administered the death blow to American renewable energy via the massive spending bill, a measure that could potentially remove America from the global renewable energy conversation entirely and hand green energy supremacy to China. Analysts say that the spending bill, signed into law last week, essentially resets America’s energy industry by quickly phasing out federal tax credits for electric cars as well as…

How Grids Depending on Renewable Energy Can Boost Reliability

Adopting renewable energy could help nations fortify their energy grids from disruptions and improve their reliability. While fossil fuels such as coal and oil can generate energy on demand regardless of time or weather conditions, their supply is regularly affected by geopolitics. This often leads to high energy costs in the U.S. whenever fossil fuel-producing countries experience any major upheaval. Renewables, on the other hand, are intermittent in nature and require specific times and weather conditions to perform effectively. Solar farms can only generate energy during the day, with peak production occurring during midday hours, and wind projects need sustained…

5 Benefits of Using Renewable Energy That Aren’t Commonly Talked About

Renewable energy is the key to significantly reducing the world's reliance on fossil fuels, addressing runaway climate change, and arresting human-caused atmospheric heating. As countries continue to deploy wind, solar, hydropower, and other renewable energy sources, we will eventually stop relying on forms of energy that pollute the world. Here are some of the unspoken benefits of transitioning to renewables. Notable improvements in public health. Internal combustion engine (ICE) cars, power plants, and factories all contribute to air and water pollution. Transitioning these industries to renewable energy can reduce cases of asthma, hospitalizations, and premature death that are related to…

Report Calls for Accelerating Energy Storage System Deployments

A report launched at the recent London Climate Action Week is calling for an accelerated deployment of stationary energy storage systems. Titled "Navigating the investment case for co-located long-duration energy storage: Delivering 3x Renewables by 2030," the brief noted that scaling up LDES technologies is critical to fully unlocking the potential of renewables such as wind and solar energy. The brief was issued by the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) alongside Environmental Resources Management (ERM) and other leading companies in the energy industry. It stresses the importance of incorporating energy storage facilities into clean energy to ensure renewables…

China’s Renewable Energy Surge is a Wake-Up Call to the US

China's accelerated deployment of renewable energy and supportive infrastructure is a major wake-up call for the United States. Although China is now the largest greenhouse gas emitter on the globe, the U.S. is, historically, the most prolific polluter and is still responsible for a large portion of the world's greenhouse gas emissions. However, while China has taken major steps to introduce renewables into its energy mix and reduce its carbon emissions, America still isn't united on the transition. Beijing has gone all in on renewable energy, passing supportive legislation and investing tens of billions of dollars into deploying renewable energy…

How Renewables Ensure Energy Security for Countries

As volatility in the global energy sector forces countries to pay higher and higher prices for oil, natural gas, and other fossil fuels, pivoting to renewables could help nations fortify themselves against price and supply chain instability and ensure energy security. Despite concerted efforts to transition to renewables like solar, wind, and geothermal energy, most of the world still relies on fossil fuels for its energy needs. This means shocks or disruptions to the global energy supply chain, such as when Russia halted natural gas exports to Europe, often have major economic consequences on a global scale. The ongoing Israel-Iran…
