UN Reports Indicate Renewables Have Reached Cost Tipping Point Versus Fossil Fuel

Two United Nations reports indicate that renewables have reached the cost tipping point compared to fossil fuels. The reports describe a ‘positive tipping point’ characterized by a worldwide shift to renewable sources of energy like wind and solar. Fossil fuels still fulfill a greater portion of the world’s energy demand, particularly in energy-intensive industries like manufacturing and transport. However, renewables are catching up at an incredibly rapid pace in both affordability and adoption. In fact, the UN reports say, renewables such as wind and solar have reached a tipping point where they will become even more widespread and low cost.…

White Hydrogen Offers Additional Option in Energy Transition

As the world seeks solutions that will enable it to transition from fossil fuels to cleaner alternatives, white hydrogen could provide an additional low-carbon option in the green energy transition. Also referred to as geologic or natural hydrogen, white hydrogen is naturally occurring hydrogen that forms through natural processes. Green hydrogen, on the other hand, is produced using energy-intensive processes such as electrolysis, while blue hydrogen needs carbon capture, another energy-intensive process. Since it forms naturally with no human input, white hydrogen has been gaining popularity as an alternative source of clean energy. This source of energy could be extracted…

BP Pivots Back to Oil, to Divest its Onshore Wind Energy Business in the US

British oil and gas company BP is pivoting back to fossil fuels and divesting its onshore wind energy business in the U.S. after its efforts to go green seemingly fell short. According to the fossil fuel multinational, it has entered a deal to sell its share of the 10 onshore wind farms it owns in the U.S. to LS Power, a utility-scale electric transmission operator based in New York. The farms collectively generate enough clean wind energy to power over half a million American homes. Although the financial details of the deal between BP and LS Power haven’t been disclosed,…

California Notches New Record in Renewable Energy

Recent data from the California Energy Commission has revealed that California achieved a new renewable energy milestone in 2023: drawing 67% of its retail electricity supply from wind, hydropower, solar, and other renewable sources, up from 61% in 2022. The previous record was 64% renewable energy in 2019, just a year after former California Governor Jerry Brown signed a state law designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution. Under the 2018 emissions reduction measure, California is set to achieve 100% carbon-free and renewable electricity by the year 2045, with wind, biomass, solar, nuclear, and large hydropower providing the…

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…
