"Michigan needs good jobs. It's not just about politics. It's whether or not we can find good work." Nate is a union millwright in Caro, MI. Solar got him into the union. Now he's building something that will help make the world better for his kids and his entire community. https://bit.ly/4gV68I7

Every quarter someone asks if battery storage is sustainable. It's been breaking records since 2025. Q1 2026: 3.3 GW, up 54% year over year. Yes. It's sustainable. https://bit.ly/4fMR9yN

Here's what people get wrong about grid reliability. It's not about whether a single power source runs 24/7. It's about whether the whole system keeps serving people when things go wrong. And most of the time when things go wrong it's the wires and poles, not the power source. #RenewableEnergy

Electricity rates are up 7.4% since last fall. Over a dozen states saw double-digit increases. The administration's response: make it harder to build the cheapest sources of power and keep the most expensive ones running longer. This is not a cost-cutting strategy. https://cnn.it/4fLgFV1

A heat pump heats your home in winter and cools it in summer. One appliance, two jobs, no gas line. It's at least twice as efficient as a furnace. And it just outsold gas furnaces by 32%. https://bit.ly/4ys8F2P

Suburban sprawl has consumed six times more prime farmland than solar since 2014. Golf courses have taken 2.6 times more. If you're worried about American farmland, solar isn't the villain. See @solarindustry.bsky.social's land use & solar development map for the full picture: bit.ly/4g153Ow

The president called solar the "scam of the century" last August. Since then it outperformed coal in electricity generation for the first time and met 61 percent of U.S. demand growth. Rough year for that talking point. https://bit.ly/4ynMiv9

Your solar panels spend all morning making more power than you can use. That extra energy charges your battery. Then 5pm hits & everyone cranks their AC & your battery starts quietly selling power back to the grid. Do that enough times & the system starts paying for itself. https://bit.ly/4f0ji55

Plug-in solar is legal in 6 states and moving forward in New Hampshire, New York, and Vermont. If California passes SB 868, the two most populous states in the country will both have balcony solar. The movement is accelerating. https://bit.ly/4uSnLLS

Brent Suter just became the first American pro athlete to speak out against fossil fuel sponsorships in sports. He studied environmental science at Harvard, he pitches for the Angels, and he's tired of promoting companies that don’t share his values. https://bit.ly/4aALJ7f

Did you know that most emulsifiers in your food are made from palm oil or petrochemicals? Ruby Bio is replacing them with clean label alternatives made from non-GMO yeast. Better yet, they say they can match the price of the synthetics. https://bit.ly/4xTe02W

Here we go again! The Trump administration just paid another $765 million to cancel offshore wind leases. That's over $2.5 billion in taxpayer money to cancel renewable energy. https://bit.ly/4eZTlT8

Summer electricity costs are projected to hit record highs. One in six U.S. households is already behind on utility bills. Solar and battery storage don't have fuel costs. That's the difference. Prices stay stable even as temperatures climb. https://cbsn.ws/43VrMUM

"We have so much sun in Nevada. Solar can lower our electricity bills. We need to put people first." She's not asking for anything radical. She's asking to survive a summer without choosing between AC and groceries. https://bit.ly/4fcADI1

The administration promised to lower energy costs. Instead, emergency orders keeping aging coal plants open have already cost ratepayers $300 million. That number is growing by $30 million a month. Seems like a bad idea. https://bit.ly/4eFS56t

Solar outproduced gas in California on 82% of all days in the first five months of 2026. California has more installed gas capacity than solar capacity. Solar is winning anyway. https://bit.ly/4g5pg5K

Suburban sprawl has consumed six times more prime farmland than solar since 2014. Golf courses have taken 2.6 times more. If you're worried about American farmland, solar isn't the villain. See @solarindustry.bsky.social's new land use and solar development map for the full picture. bit.ly/4g153Ow

The largest wind project in American history is fully operational. Clean power is now flowing from New Mexico to Arizona and California. Many said it was too big and too complex, but t's already breaking records and powering a million homes. https://lat.ms/3Ssui2r

The real story about solar and extreme weather is pretty simple. Panels are tough. They're tested. And when paired with battery storage they can actually keep your critical loads running when the rest of the grid goes down. Solar doesn't just survive storms. It helps you survive them. #SolarEnergy

Solar just passed coal in U.S. electricity generation for the first time on record. While the Trump administration is spending $700 million to bail out coal, the market is moving the other direction. https://bit.ly/4vz6Hv1

For the first time ever, solar generated more electricity than coal for an entire month in the U.S. May 2026. Not in one state. Nationally. Renewable energy is no longer a far off dream. It’s here and flourishing (if we let it). https://bit.ly/4w1A9tM

East St. Louis is turning a contaminated Alcoa site into a 15-megawatt community solar farm. 2,000 low income residents will get clean energy for a $50 yearly subscription. Another 1,000 residents could save up to half on their electric bills. https://bit.ly/4uua4T0

"We need to put people first and add more affordable renewable power to the grid." Meli is watching her bills climb while Arizona's year-round sun goes underutilized. Solar and wind are the cheapest power we can build. The grid should reflect that. Watch the full video: https://bit.ly/3Qyv7Gj

The same administration that says it wants to cut government spending is paying nearly $800 million to an oil company to not build clean energy. Just a handshake to wipe out offshore wind on your dime. https://bit.ly/4okQQxM

Wind turbines shutting down in extreme weather isn't a failure. It's the same concept as a circuit breaker. Protect the equipment, come back online when it's safe. But "turbine works exactly as designed" doesn't get the same clicks. #RenewableEnergy #WindEnergy

EVs are getting cheaper and gas is getting more volatile. The war in Iran is driving fuel prices up and creating shortages all over the world. The countries going electric are doing it because it's cheaper and more stable. https://bit.ly/4gfgOAO

The DOE is about to issue another 90-day emergency order to keep this coal plant running. The plant physically cannot run for the entire duration of that order. They're mandating electricity from a facility that cannot produce electricity. https://bit.ly/4vN5ArW

Inflation hit 4.2% in May, the highest in three years. Energy prices jumped 3.9% in a single month and are up 23.5% over the past year. Americans are feeling it at the pump, on their energy bills, and at the grocery store. https://cnb.cx/4ehrCfl

Your power bill shouldn't go up because of a data center. PA's new GRID standards require developers to bring their own power & use more renewables to reduce the impact of AI data centers. If other states aren't asking the same question, their ratepayers should be. https://bit.ly/4vo8WRQ

New DOE guidance guts electrification from home energy rebates. "This is a deliberate effort to deny relief to millions of families at the exact moment they need it the most." https://bit.ly/49BCIKE
