🔌💡 "The story of power plant completions in the first half of 2026 was mainly about utility-scale #solar and #batteries." Our Eric Gimon spoke with @insideclimatenews.org's @dangearino.bsky.social about small- and mid-size utility-scale solar projects. ☀️ insideclimatenews.org/news/1308202...
Graphic showing "The Year So Far In Power Plants". It shows a pie chart of new U.S. power plants - summer generating capacity in megawatts by type from January to June 2026. It reports that there was a total of 28,667.5 MW generated. Solar PV (40%), Batteries (28.6%), Onshore Wind (19.1%), Natural Gas (9.4%), Offshore Wind (2.8%) and Other (0.1%)

🔌💡 Federal policy decisions favoring natural gas and keeping #coal plants open are forcing households to pay higher #electricity bills. Our @robbieorvis.bsky.social explains thepowerline.substack.com/p/federal-en...
Graph showing modeling from Energy Innovation, which shows how federal energy policy decisions across America: 152 gigawatts’ (GW) lost clean energy capacity additions through 2030 and 637 GW through 2040, an extra $650 billion in energy costs for households, and $2.3 trillion in lost GDP between 2026 and 2040.

🔌💡 Electricity prices are on the rise nationwide. Recent EIA data reports that residential rates rose 7.3 percent between April 2025 & April 2026. Our analysis projects that by 2035, households could be paying an additional $460 per year on average for their energy. www.newsweek.com/map-electric...

🔌💡 In #India, #solar-powered #manufacturing is now cheaper than fossil fuels -- which creates a unique opportunity for the world’s third-largest industrial emitter. 👉 thepowerline.substack.com/p/in-most-of...
Image from Substack post that says "For many countries, that scenario is years away. But it’s now reality in India, where solar prices are among the world’s lowest, coal-driven air pollution chokes cities in smog, and volatile oil and gas imports spike costs and jeopardize energy security."

🔌💡 Engineered carbon removal can store CO₂ for centuries, but cost remains a major barrier. One option is to use CO₂ in materials like concrete to create value, helping offset costs while storing carbon long term. Learn more 👇 climatetechmap.com/opportunity-...
In direct air capture, one form of engineered carbon removal, air is pulled through modular fans and sorbents that concentrate CO₂. Oxygen is vented while the captured CO₂ is compressed, piped and injected into underground formations where it mineralizes into solid carbonate minerals (CO₃²⁻), such as calcite or magnesite. Direct air capture can turn dilute atmospheric CO₂ into durable, climate-safe mineral storage.

🔌💡 Atmospheric CO₂ has risen 50% over the past 150 years, and natural carbon sinks can't keep up. Speeding up the natural process of mineralization, in which CO₂ is captured and turned into rock, could unlock scalable carbon removal. climatetechmap.com/opportunity-... #greensky
Enhanced rock weathering is one approach to mineral carbon removal, accelerating a natural process in which CO₂ reacts with alkaline minerals to form stable carbonates. By grinding silicate rocks and spreading them across agricultural land, rainfall helps dissolve the material and drive reactions that capture atmospheric CO₂. The carbon is ultimately stored as dissolved bicarbonate or solid carbonates — ideally transported to the oceans, where vast volume and stable chemistry enable long-term, durable storage.

🔌💡 Nationally, aging #coal plants are one of America’s most expensive power sources and keep costing more as their infrastructure deteriorates. thepowerline.substack.com/p/doe-forces...
The graphic shown is from Energy Innovation's Substack, which reads "The cost of operating coal plants rose 28 percent between 2021 and 2024, nearly double the rate of inflation in the same period. That means additional DOE orders to force coal plants to stay online could increase consumer costs $3 to $5 billion annually."
