Environmental Group Sues USDA in Iowa Over Renewables Funding Change

Environmental groups have taken the USDA to court in Iowa over changes to a program funding renewable energy. The lawsuit was filed on behalf of farmers, farm organizations and solar companies who say the rules shifted beneath them after they'd already signed on. At issue is the Rural Energy for America Program, known as REAP. The complaint claims recent USDA changes have made nearly every solar project ineligible for money that applicants had already been promised, and that the agency applied the new rules retroactively to projects already under construction. Chad Hughes of the Environmental Law & Policy Center, one…

Power Grid Investment Set to Reach $54B in 2027 in the EU

Spending on power infrastructure spanning EU member states and Norway is on track to hit roughly $54 billion by 2027. Eurelectric, the industry group behind the Power Barometer 2026 study, pegged the starting point at about $27 billion in 2021, with spending climbing to $41 billion by 2024, with investment now compounding at close to 12.5% a year as utilities build out capacity for electrification and renewable integration. Wind and solar output edged past combined fossil-fuel generation in the bloc through 2025, cumulatively producing roughly three in ten units of electricity, while carbon output per unit of power fell to…

Amazon Signs Another PPA to Expand its UK Renewables Investment

Amazon has signed a new power agreement backing a wind farm planned for Shetland, adding to a UK renewable portfolio that now runs past 50 separate projects. The deal with Norwegian energy firm Statkraft covers the Mossy Hill site, which is on track to come online in late 2030, and gives the developer the backing needed to push the project toward actual construction. The agreement extends Amazon's existing footprint in Scotland, where it already backs the Moray West offshore wind development and the 90-megawatt Chirmorie project in South Ayrshire. Together, these commitments are projected to add over a gigawatt of…

Trump Flips from Opposing Battery Storage to Encouraging its Use

Battery storage has gone from an afterthought to a selling point inside the Trump administration, even as the same White House has spent the past year fighting other parts of the clean energy buildout. The nonprofit energy research group RMI, once known as the Rocky Mountain Institute, found that the country's battery storage fleet has multiplied more than forty times over since 2018. Utility-scale installations climbed to 43.6 gigawatts by the close of last year, a stretch during which the sector expanded by roughly seventy percent annually for three straight years running. Counting every category of storage, the U.S. now…

American Fusion(TM) Inc. (AMFN) Reports Hotter, Denser, and Stable Plasma in Latest Texatron(TM) Tests

American Fusion has reported positive new experimental results from its Texatron(TM) fusion-energy development program, involving high-voltage pulsed magnetic-field experiments. The latest configuration produced hotter and denser toroidal plasmas than those observed during earlier high-current experiments. American Fusion also reported that the plasma structures remained stable against significant magnetohydrodynamic (“MHD”) instabilities during the experimental pulses. The results are intended to support the Texatron(TM) concept of rapidly compressing plasma to increase temperature and density in a pulsed fusion architecture. Further testing is expected to focus on quantitative measurements, repeatability and progressively more demanding operating conditions relevant to deuterium-helium-3 fusion. American Fusion(TM) (OTCBQ:…

Floating Power Plants Hold the Potential to Provide Reliable Energy

Power generating stations built onto ships and barges are emerging as a dependable electricity source for islands, harbor towns and crowded cities that have little room to spare. Backers say the vessels sidestep the complaints about space and scenery that dog large solar and wind farms, because they feed a shore-side grid directly from the water. The floating power plant concept is considerably older than the current climate push, with roots reaching back to 1931. That year the cargo ship SS Jacona was refitted to give storm-battered communities in the northeastern United States a stopgap supply. Demand grew after the…

American Fusion(TM) Inc. (AMFN) Executive Chairman Discusses Texatron(TM) Testing, Race to Power AI

In a new AGORACOM interview, Executive Chairman Brent Nelson outlined the next stages of the company’s Texatron(TM) development and potential commercialization strategy. The company has a 5 MW pre-production Texatron(TM) and is working with its Texas fabricator on planned 10 MW and 20 MW configurations. Texas authorization covers 12 planned Texatron(TM) model classes ranging from approximately 500 kW to 1 GW. Management is targeting documented test results showing whether the Texatron(TM) can generate and capture sufficient energy for conversion into usable electricity, with a goal of reaching unity or beyond unity by the end of 2026. If testing and subsequent…

Challenges Hamstringing the Energy Transition in Europe

Europe’s effort to shift away from fossil fuels is facing a problem that would once have seemed unlikely: electricity is sometimes becoming so plentiful that producers have to pay to sell it. During the first three months of 2026, electricity traded below zero for 1,223 hours across European Union day-ahead markets, according to the International Energy Agency. The figures point to a weakness on the demand side rather than an end to Europe’s need for new clean power. Only about 24% of energy use across the European economy was electrified in 2024, compared with 34% in China. Electricity therefore still…

Renewables Provided 54% of Electricity within the EU in Q2 This Year

Just over half the European Union's power came from renewable sources in the second quarter of 2026, with the figure landing at 54.1%, according to new data from Eurostat. That's a marginal decline from the 54.3% figure posted a year earlier, though the overall renewable share has remained fairly stable year-over-year. Solar alone made up 41.6% of that renewable total, a notable climb from the 37.0% it represented twelve months prior. That growth made it the single largest contributor to the EU's clean power supply and aligns with renewable energy data from other major markets. Solar is still the king…
