WAR ON WIND
It’s been a turbulent year for wind projects in the U.S… and that’s putting it lightly. On the one hand, there have been some big wins.

Last month, the largest wind project in the country started generating electricity. In…
AN UNEXPECTED DEVELOPMENT
Something interesting is happening. Earlier this week, House Republicans introduced the American Energy Dominance Act.

In a true defiance of expectations, this Republican-led energy bill was designed to do just the opposite. If passed, it would restore the original phase-out…

SAVE THE FOREST SERVICE!
The United States Forest Service is in jeopardy. On March 30th, the Trump administration announced that it would be completely restructuring the agency, with plans to move the agency’s headquarters from Washington, D.C. to Salt Lake City, transition from a regional to state leadership model, and shut down over 50 place-based research facilities in favor of a centralized research center in Fort Collins. What…
CLEAN TECH ON THE RISE
One month into the U.S.-Israel war on Iran, there are countless signs that clean energy technologies are gaining momentum in America and around the world. We’ve covered the surge in U.S. consumer interest in EVs, as Americans reckon with daily increases in gas prices at the pump. But there’s also the United Kingdom, where heat pump and solar adoption skyrocketed in the first…
