📰 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.

Oh, so the USA has $1 billion to reward a right-wing ally in #Columbia but no $$ for Medicaid, SNAP and scientific research? “US offers $1bn to Colombia on new right-wing president's first day of office” Tells you all you need to know about #TrumpRegime priorities. $100 billion for an unwanted war. Countless billions to Israel in aid; billions to cancel #WindEnergy projects, but none for suffering US taxpayers. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cy9wy3y0e5wo

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 […]https://onlinemarketingscoops.com/2026/08/08/how-to-store-renewable-energy/

(archive: 2016) This Land Was Your Land: A Closer Look at 80 by 50 #USA: Politicians from federal to local levels have joined in a pledge known as 80 by 50, an effort to cut carbon-dioxide emissions 80% by 2050. The pledges are long on fanfare but short on details. There is, however, a published literature that determines how to achieve so-called deep carbonization, and it involves a massive increase of renewable-energy sources, primarily wind and… https://www.wind-watch.org/documents/this-land-was-your-land-a-closer-look-at-80-by-50/ #windpower #windenergy

Climate change is real, but it is an unfortunate fact that renewables are useless #GBR: Panic, always a mistake, is most dangerous when the problem is real. And the ill-informed panic of the educated is worst of all, since it guarantees the selection of specious and even counterproductive remedies. The last 25 years of British energy policy is an extended demonstration of that principle, and it finds its latest echo in Tim Stanley’s recent… https://www.wind-watch.org/news/2026/08/03/climate-change-is-real-but-it-is-an-unfortunate-fact-that-renewables-are-useless/ #windpower #windenergy

New Bladeless Wind Turbine Generates Clean, Quiet, Bird Safe Power
Vortex Bladeless Across the world, wind power is growing fast but not fast enough. To meet climate goals and reach carbon neutrality, the United Nations says global wind energy must triple in the next ten years. Standard turbines, with their giant spinning blades, are helping, but they face challenges: high costs, loud operation, complex maintenance, and their unfortunate impact on birds……Continue reading….
