California, UK Sign MoU to Strengthen Renewables Ties

California and the United Kingdom formalized an energy partnership in London designed to boost clean technology investment and employment across both regions. The Memorandum of Understanding establishes channels for researchers and companies to collaborate and expand renewable infrastructure that cuts household energy costs and reduces dependence on imported fossil fuels. Economic data from both sides justifies the timing, with a recent Confederation of British Industry analysis noting that Britain's carbon-neutral industries outpaced overall national economic growth by a factor of three during 2024. California posted comparable expansion rates as its clean technology sector generated new positions three times faster than…

As the US Backtracks on Renewables, SE Asia Turns to China

Beijing has quietly become the dominant outside funder of clean energy across Southeast Asia amidst a retreat from clean energy financing by Washington. Belt and Road green energy commitments across Southeast Asia reached nearly $10 billion in the opening six months of 2025, bringing around 11.9 gigawatts of wind, solar, and waste-to-energy capacity online. A large portion of this investment came from China, with the Asian economic and manufacturing giant providing capital, hardware, and construction crews at a time when alternatives have thinned considerably. Under Trump, billions in climate commitments were canceled, cutting funds to international programs including the Green…

Cisco Taps Solar Energy to Cut Costs, Slash Emissions

American tech conglomerate Cisco is tapping solar energy to lower costs and cut greenhouse gas emissions. The firm has locked down a 15-year financial arrangement with R. Power that bankrolls 470 gigawatt hours of fresh solar capacity without physically receiving the electricity. R.Power's virtual power purchase agreement (VPPA) establishes fixed pricing while developers sell actual power into Poland's grid. Cisco will receive payments when market rates surpass the contracted price, but will have to cover shortfalls when prices dip below market rates. This mechanism will finance four new solar installations while providing insurance against unpredictable energy markets and provide the…

IEA Predicts Nuclear, Renewables to Provide Half of Electricity Needs by 2030

The International Energy Agency expects nuclear power and renewable energy to supply roughly half of global electricity demand by 2030, even as worldwide power consumption accelerates sharply. In its latest Electricity 2026 outlook, the agency points to rising industrial electrification, electric vehicle adoption, expanding data centers, and growing AI workloads as the primary drivers behind a surge in electricity use across advanced and emerging economies. Global electricity demand is forecast to increase by an average of 3.6% annually through the end of the decade, significantly outpacing growth in overall energy demand. The report notes that electricity consumption is expanding more…

Report Finds 90% of Investment Growth in China Was in Green Energy

A new analysis shows that roughly 90% of China’s investment growth last year came from green energy, underscoring how decisively clean industries now drive the country’s economic expansion. According to research from the Center for Research on Energy and Clean Air published by Carbon Brief, clean energy sectors propelled more than 90% of capital growth in 2025 and now rival all but seven national economies in scale. China’s clean energy industries generated a record 15.4 trillion yuan, about $2.2 trillion, in business last year, placing them on par with the gross domestic products of Canada or Brazil. The sector accounted…

Renewable Energy Gains Traction Despite Trump’s Hostility

America's fledgling green energy industry is gaining traction despite President Donald Trump's clear hostility to renewables, driven by economics that have made solar and wind the cheapest electricity options. Utility-scale solar delivers power at four to eight cents per kilowatt-hour without federal subsidies and battery-enhanced systems operate at five to 13 cents. Natural gas runs 13.8 to 26 cents per kilowatt-hour according to Lazard's 2025 analysis, with coal commanding steeper prices. International Energy Agency data shows that clean energy investments hit $2.2 trillion by 2024's conclusion, doubling the $1.1 trillion for fossil fuels. Worldwide, solar and wind generation jumped 109%…

Report Calls Out Europe for its Dependence on Imported Critical Minerals

A recent report from the European Court of Auditors (ECA) is calling Europe out for its continued dependence on imported critical minerals, exposing the bloc's dramatic reliance on foreign suppliers for materials essential to its energy transition. China dominates supply chains for six vital rare earth elements with market shares ranging from 69% to 74%, including neodymium and praseodymium needed for permanent magnets used in refrigerator doors, wind turbines, and car locking systems. In 2024 alone, the European Union brought in 17,000 of 20,000 tons of permanent magnets from China. The dependence on foreign imports stretches across numerous raw materials.…

Investment in Clean Energy Reached $2.3 Trillion in 2025, BloombergNEF Says

Investment in clean energy climbed to a record $2.3 trillion in 2025, underscoring how capital continues to flow into low carbon technologies even as global economic conditions remain uneven. The latest figures from BloombergNEF show the energy transition is no longer a niche trend but a central pillar of global investment strategy. The data comes from BloombergNEF’s Energy Transition Investment Trends 2026 report, which tracks spending across power, transport, grids, manufacturing and climate-focused technology. According to the research team, total clean energy investment rose by roughly 8% compared with 2024, extending a decade-long growth streak and reinforcing the shift away…

Renewal Fuels Inc. (RNWF) Is ‘One to Watch’

The company has completed a strategic transformation into a pure-play fusion energy platform anchored by a wholly owned operating subsidiary and a clear long-term commercialization objective. Kepler’s Texatron(TM) system is engineered from inception for deployable, infrastructure-grade use rather than laboratory experimentation. A Power-as-a-Service commercial model is intended to support recurring, contracted revenue aligned with infrastructure financing principles. A broad and expanding intellectual property portfolio underpins technology defensibility and long-duration platform value. Rising U.S. baseload electricity demand, particularly from commercial and industrial users, creates a structural backdrop for alternative non-intermittent energy solutions. Renewal Fuels (OTC: RNWF) (d/b/a American Fusion) is an advanced…

Solar and Wind to Dominate New Energy Generation in the US

Solar, wind, and battery storage are on track to supply nearly all new electricity capacity added in the United States in 2026, highlighting how decisively the power sector is moving away from fossil fuels. Recent federal energy data shows that renewables are no longer an emerging segment of the grid, but the primary source shaping future generation growth. Data from the US Energy Information Administration, assessed by the SUN DAY Campaign, shows solar continuing to expand faster than any other electricity source. By November 2025, output from large solar projects was up 33.9% compared with the previous year, while electricity…
