Bloom Energy's product revenue reached $653.3 million, reflecting a remarkable 208.4% year-over-year increase, while total revenue grew by 130.37%, showcasing the impact of AI infrastructure.

Ceramic factories mark the transition from manual knowledge to serial production, expanding its scale without entirely severing its material origins. Scattered across different territories, these structures record the relationship between technique, landscape, and time.

In mere seconds, a cascading sequence of events burst through the grid and created Europe's first system black event in recent memory. Traffic signals failed, mobile networks stopped working entirely, petrol stations could not pump fuel and supermarkets couldn't process payments.

In March, one month into the US-Iran war, China doubled the number of solar panels it was exporting, distributing 68 gigawatts of photovoltaic cells and silicon wafers.

"The '15-minute city' model is based on the original concept of a city: having the things we want and need closer to where we live. The idea is that we should be able to get to our everyday essentials within, ideally, 15 minutes on foot, bike, or public transit."

The spate of wildfires, hurricanes, tornadoes and floods fueled by manmade climate change that have plagued vast swaths of the country in recent years, are changing the housing industry.

Walmart is now deploying ABB E-mobility's A400 all-in-one 400-kilowatt DC fast charger at several stores in the Phoenix metropolitan area. This type of dispenser can deliver up to 400 kW to a single connected EV, and dynamically manage the power output to each EV if two cars are charging at the same time.

Burning gas and propane for cooking, water heating and space heating in California homes and businesses creates 10% of the state's greenhouse gas emissions. It also releases pollutants indoors.

"We were considering multiple forms of capital when we started. It just felt like the opportunity is so large that venture capital gives us the opportunity to take those risks upfront and have the possibility to generate an outsized return."

The magic room was a community effort, maintained by many residents volunteering their time to keep it well organised and running smoothly. I often saw my neighbour, Wendy Showyin, when I stopped by.

E-bikes make it easy for everyone to exercise, and exercising is one of the best ways to lower stress. It offers mild to moderate physical activity and lessens joint pressure.

Energy audits are good at counting electricity, not behavior. They rarely capture how power behaves under stress, missing critical factors like voltage changes and harmonic distortion.

The cost to build a new combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) power plant has risen from less than $1,500 per kilowatt of generating capacity in 2023 to $2,157 last year, according to a new report from BloombergNEF.

When Specian dug into the data, he discovered that implementing energy-efficiency measures and shifting electricity usage to lower-demand times are two of the fastest and cheapest ways of meeting growing thirst for electricity. These moves could help meet much, if not all, of the nation's projected load growth. Moreover, they would cost only half-or less-what building out new infrastructure would, while avoiding the emissions those operations would bring.
