Oregon Accelerates Green Energy Projects Before Trump Phase-Out of Tax Credits
---

Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek told state agencies to take “any and all steps necessary” to expedite solar and wind permits before federal green energy tax credits expire next year. The order prioritizes high-priority projects to begin by July 2026.

#RenewableEnergy overtook #coal as world's leading source of #electricity in first half of #2025 - a historic first.
Electricity demand is growing around world but growth in #solar and #wind was so strong it met 100% of the extra electricity demand, even helping drive a slight decline in coal and gas use.
Developing countries, especially #China, led the clean energy charge but richer nations including the #US and #EU relied more than before on planet-warming #fossilfuels.

Renewables overtake coal as the biggest global source of electricity.

Worldwide solar and wind power generation has outpaced electricity demand this year, according to a new analysis.

Global solar generation grew by a record 31% in the first half of the year, while wind generation grew by 7.7%, the report by the energy think tank Ember found.

“The power needs of the massive complexes are rapidly driving up electricity bills — piling onto the rising prices for food, housing and other essentials already straining consumers. That’s starting to have economic and political reverberations across the country as utilities and local officials wrestle over how to divvy up the costs.”

AI data centers are sending electricity prices through the roof.

This is a very real cost. China is betting big on solar to significantly reduce their long term power costs.

Feels like the US is betting against this trend.

Thank you Andrew Blakers [professor of engineering, Australian National University]
✅ Personally i remain excited by the huge prospects availed by Strayan #PumpedHydro, not least ofc being #SnowyHydro2, & i am so thoroughly sick of the MSM pointscoring superficiality of cheap potshots at transient project difficulties. It's a major engineering project, you fuckheads, & by definition involves many uncertainties that could only be quantified & resolved on the job... just like ALL major engineering projects. It's what we engineers do, ffs... scope designs, build in contingencies, but well aware that unforeseen problems are inevitable & grist to our mill. The point is that the final objective is so massively important for our decarbonised future, decade after decade, long after the temporary construction challenges were overcome.

Fuck off, pig-ignorant naysayers.
🤬🖕

Renew Economy · Snowy 2.0: Energy storage for one cent per person per dayThe cost increases means that Snowy 2.0 has gone from bargain of the century to merely a very good technical and economic investment. 

The "bold promise" of Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technology. The idea of my EV not just consuming energy but feeding it back to the grid to earn credits or lower my bill feels like the next logical step in the EV revolution.
It's not without its challenges, but the potential to turn a fleet of parked cars into a massive distributed battery is incredibly powerful for grid stability and renewables.
