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…

Greenpeace Report Finds Tech Firms Switching to Renewables as Data Centers Proliferate

New research from Greenpeace East Asia has revealed that Chinese data center and cloud computing companies kept growing their reliance on clean power all through 2025, even with AI infrastructure driving demand sharply upward. Eight of the 25 firms surveyed pushed their clean electricity share past 30% by August 2026, a sharp jump from the group's 2024 findings, when just a single company had crossed that threshold. Tencent's clean-power share stood at 48.5%, and GDS pulled even further ahead at 60%. Momentum on formal commitments has grown too, though unevenly. More than half the surveyed group, fourteen companies in total,…

Smart Grids Could Unlock $12.1B in Savings for Europe

Better coordination of electric vehicle charging alone could spare Europe roughly $12.1 billion in grid spending through the end of the decade, according to new modeling from Siemens commissioned by EIT Urban Mobility, ChargeUp Europe, and ACEA. Left unmanaged, EV growth would otherwise push distribution grid costs to nearly $28.3 billion by 2030, but coordinated charging could trim that figure down to roughly $16.2 billion instead. The mechanism behind those savings is what the study calls EV load management: steering when and how fast vehicles pull power from the grid, moment to moment, so demand spreads out instead of spiking…

Portuguese Scientists Explore Using Rocks to Store Clean Energy

Portuguese researchers are working on a renewable energy storage solution that uses rock as a storage medium for excess green energy. Their research builds on efforts by German scientists who experimented with using salt caverns to store energy in the 1970s. As fantastical as the idea may sound, the concept of storing energy underground is based on real science and could go a long way towards addressing the intermittency issues that hamper green energy adoption. Fossil fuel-fired power plants still have one major advantage over renewable energy plants; their primary resource isn’t reliant on time and weather conditions. Sure, fossil…

Investment in Clean Hydrogen Exceeds $130B

Data from the Hydrogen Council’s 2026 report has revealed that clean hydrogen investment exceeded $130 billion this year, spread across more than 570 projects worldwide. Together, those projects add up to nearly 7 million tons of committed annual production capacity, per the report co-authored with consulting firm McKinsey. What stands out most in the findings is how much of that money has moved past the planning stage. Roughly nine out of every ten committed projects have either broken ground or are already up and running. The amount of hydrogen capacity genuinely producing output has nearly doubled in the past year,…
