Stakeholders Want European Ocean Act to Safeguard Offshore Renewables

Offshore wind developers and energy companies are lobbying to put renewables at the heart of Europe's forthcoming Ocean Act, warning that without strong protections written into the legislation, competing maritime interests could slow one of the continent's most critical energy buildouts. With the Act’s publication expected late in 2026, the window to influence the Act's direction is narrowing fast. It will arrive in the fourth quarter of 2026 under the umbrella of an ocean governance initiative the EU launched in 2025. The measure covers the full range of competing activities across European waters, from fishing and cargo shipping to protected…

Trump’s Strikes on Iran Ironically Show Why Renewable Energy is Necessary

Trump's assault on Iran has produced an outcome he almost certainly did not plan for: a powerful, real-world advertisement for ditching fossil fuels. With energy markets destabilized and drivers across the world bracing for another squeeze at the pump, the economic case for clean energy has rarely felt more urgent or better supported. Fuel costs were already roughly 17% higher than at the start of the year, driven partly by months of aggressive regional posturing. Analysts now expect another significant leg up as markets process the consequences of active conflict involving a major oil-producing nation. For American consumers, it is…

4 Factors Hamstringing Europe’s Renewable Energy Sector

Europe sits on a major renewable energy opportunity that keeps slipping through its fingers. Costs have fallen sharply, the technology works, and the strategic case for cutting fossil fuel dependence has never been more obvious. Four stubborn obstacles, however, are standing between the continent and the clean energy future its own economics demand. Entrenched industrial resistance is the first. Key manufacturing sectors, including automotive, chemicals, and steel, have spent years postponing the shift to modern production methods, even as workable alternatives have been commercially available. The long-running political battle over phasing out combustion engine vehicles is the most visible symptom.…

Renewal Fuels Inc. (RNWF) Strengthens Leadership Bench and IP Strategy as It Drives New Approach Toward Commercial Fusion Energy

Renewal Fuels is repositioning itself as an infrastructure-focused fusion energy company following its merger with Kepler Fusion Technologies, building a public-company framework aimed at long-term deployment of modular fusion systems for industrial power markets. The company has added senior technical and legal leadership to support its fusion commercialization strategy, with veteran plasma physicist Dr. John E. Brandenburg being appointed Chief Technology Officer, and intellectual property specialist Michael G. Smith appointed Chief Legal Officer and board director. The company has also filed three new federal trademark applications, expanding protection around the Texatron(TM) platform and American Fusion brand. Renewal Fuels (OTC: RNWF)…

Digitalization Could Hold the Key to the Energy Transition

Power grids face a modernization crisis as renewable energy expands faster than infrastructure can adapt. The result is major connection bottlenecks across the U.S. and EU that threaten the achievement of their decarbonization goals. Gridspertise Chief Product Officer Sergio Martìn Guerrero says digitalization offers the tools to manage the transition from traditional one-way energy flows from large plants to bidirectional energy generated from millions of distributed sources. Electricity currently represents roughly 21% of global energy use, but projections show that figure climbing to between 30 and 50% by 2050, with European markets leading the transition. Renewables supply about 40% of…

Google Signs Deal to Use Geothermal Energy at its Nevada Data Centers

Renewable energy company Ormat Technologies has signed an agreement with Google to deliver up to 150 megawatts of geothermal power to the tech giant's Nevada data centers, adding continuous clean electricity as artificial intelligence operations push energy consumption higher. New geothermal capacity comes online between 2028 and 2030 under NV Energy's Clean Transition Tariff, which allows major electricity buyers to purchase renewable generation while covering full costs themselves rather than passing expenses to other utility customers. Geothermal energy taps heat from deep underground to generate electricity that runs continuously, unlike solar panels or wind turbines that depend on weather conditions.…

WMO Publishes Guidance to Help Countries Map Clean Energy Resources

The World Meteorological Organization released guidance to help countries figure out where to build wind farms, solar arrays, and hydropower plants with better accuracy. With this guidance, National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NMHSs) can now create energy atlases showing renewable resources down to 2.5-mile resolution, enough detail for governments and investors to pick the best spots for new infrastructure. Survey work conducted across 2022 and 2023 uncovered a major obstacle to renewables planning: governments often lack the detailed weather data they need to make smart and informed renewable energy decisions. Secretary-General Celeste Saulo says the new guidance fixes that by…

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…
