According to a recent analysis by Energy Innovation, states that have leaned heavily into wind and solar like Iowa, Kansas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico have actually seen slower electricity price growth compared to the national average. Iowa, which now gets nearly 60% of its electricity from wind, saw its rates increase more slowly than 42 other states over the past decade. The idea that clean energy equals skyrocketing bills just doesn't hold up.
Lithium is the foundation of the modern energy economy, powering electric vehicles, smartphones, and renewable infrastructure, and is critical for the nuclear energy revolution.
The O by Alberto Roncelli takes the form of a circular timber pavilion, combining solar energy production and rainwater harvesting beneath a wide canopy that also serves as a flexible communal space.
The California Supreme Court sided with environmental groups, stating the lower court erred in its review of the California Public Utilities Commission's reduced payments to solar panel owners.
Dramatically rising electricity demand, driven by AI and electrification, may accomplish what politics hasn't: make clean energy indispensable. Traditional sources can't scale fast enough: new nuclear and coal plants take decades, and even natural gas can't ramp up quickly enough to meet near-term demand.
The Northeast Supply Enhancement pipeline, proposed by energy giant Williams, would bury about 17 miles of 26-inch-diameter, natural gas pipelines 4 feet under the ocean floor near Staten Island and the Rockaways, with around 10 miles of additional pipeline in New Jersey. According to Williams, the new infrastructure will move enough fracked gas from Pennsylvania to serve more than 2 million New York City homes.
Richards emphasized the need for involvement of local residents and stated that just 2% of residents in the nearby Ravenswood and Queensbridge Houses are employed locally, highlighting a significant opportunity for economic improvement through the transformation of the plant.
