Even with Trump stooges cooking the books for his big fossil fuel donors, renewables still won — cheaper and cleaner. www.canarymedia.com/articles/cle...

Chart: How the US electricity mix changed last year

Solar and coal were up, and gas, surprisingly, was down. Here are the numbers behind a wild year for the U.S. power sector.

This flows directly from the fact that clean energy is cheap energy. The Trump administrations opposition to cheaper energy sources has raised the cost of energy AND raised emissions. www.canarymedia.com/articles/emi...

US carbon emissions rose in 2025 as coal produced more power

The new data bucked the general trend of declining emissions, as booming electricity demand and higher natural gas prices gave coal a temporary opening in…

Trump’s fossil fuel corruption spree can’t stop the inevitable move to cleaner, less expensive energy: “Through November, 92% of new power capacity added to the grid in 2025 came in the form of solar, wind, or storage.” www.canarymedia.com/articles/cle...

Chart: Clean energy remains dominant in the US — despite Trump

Trump spent much of 2025 boosting fossil fuels and blocking renewables, but 92% of new power additions through November were solar, wind, or batteries.

Here's a great new feature by my colleague Dan McCarthy about Greece's stunningly fast transition to solar energy — and the challenges of making sure no one is left behind.

Dan McCarthy@danmccarthy.bsky.social · 10mo ago

In September, I went to Greece to report on its rapid move away from coal. Despite getting ~50% of power from coal a decade ago, it'll be coal free next year. Solar is booming. It's a stunning shift — but not without challenges for Greece's coal region. www.canarymedia.com/articles/jus...

www.canarymedia.com/articles/off... Perhaps offshore wind and the lobster industry are actually natural allies?

Can offshore wind help some fish? Research increasingly says yes.

First shipwrecks. Then oil rigs. Now, it’s offshore wind turbines that are becoming artificial reefs for creatures from haddock to lobster.

Trump pressed the pause button on offshore wind. Projects that have secured their permits may be unscathed, but those in earlier stages face a tough road.
