  5. Court rules against Trump #EPA’s freeze of $20B in ​‘#greenbank’ funds
    A federal #appealscourt finds the EPA acted improperly in terminating grants to boost #cleanenergy projects. The Trump administration may appeal to the Supreme Court.
    The divided ruling from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit is a victory for the nonprofit groups targeted by EPA Administrator #LeeZeldin as part of a broader attack on the Biden admin’s clean energy and #climate spending.

  8. How Europe’s drought exposes ‘weakness of #FossilFuels’ as Poland forced to shut down coal plants

    Poland has been forced to reduce output on its #coal-fired #PowerPlants following critically low water levels in the #Vistula River.

    #Poland has been urged to double down on #CleanEnergy after Europe’s drought wreaked havoc on its coal industry.

    Earlier this week (4 August) utility giant #Enea was forced to reduce generation at the #Kozienice and #Połaniec coal-fired power plants after critically low #water levels in the #VistulaRiver limited cooling water supplies.

    The move is said to have removed 1.3 GW from Poland’s power system, enough to power more than one million average households. This is around two per cent of the country’s current energy capacity.

    River flow near the Kozienice Power Plant fell to just 135 cubic metres per second on 5 August, reflecting #severe #drought conditions.

    The plant’s cooling system withdraws approximately 80–100 m³/s of water from the river – more than half of the remaining flow under such conditions.

    > Despite growing evidence that the plant is killing millions of fish larvae, including from six protected species, Enea is cracking on with plans to build a near 1.3GW gas-fired power plant at the Kozienice site. Experts warn that such a move will increase pressure on the Vistula River ecosystem through continued high cooling water demand.

  16. 📰 Renewables Continue to Expand Across the United States

    🌎 U.S.: New data show solar power became the largest source of electricity generation in Utah during May, while California generated more than half of its monthly electricity from solar for the first time.

    🌬️ Solar and wind together supplied the majority of electricity in seven states, and solar generation exceeded coal nationwide during the same month.

    ⚡ Federal projections indicate solar will account for roughly half of new utility-scale generating capacity added in the U.S. this year, reflecting continued growth in renewable energy deployment.

    📈 Wind and solar power are gaining a larger share of the electricity mix, even as national energy policy remains favorable toward fossil fuel development.

  18. How To Store Renewable Energy

    Image credit: Pramote Polyamate via Getty Images Renewable-energy storage is important to help humanity reduce its dependence on fossil fuels such as oil and coal, which produce carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases that cause climate change. Harnessing the power of the sun with solar panels and utilizing wind power with wind turbines are two common ways to generate renewable energy. But the sun isn't always shining and the wind isn't always blowing when we want electricity, and […]
