Trump’s fossil fuel corruption spree can’t stop the inevitable move to cleaner, less expensive energy: “Through November, 92% of new power capacity added to the grid in 2025 came in the form of solar, wind, or storage.” www.canarymedia.com/articles/cle...

You need to read this story by @fieseler.bsky.social. Speaking as someone who covers some of the same issues, this is one of the best stories I've ever seen on this subject. Really, really good stuff. www.canarymedia.com/articles/off...

Here's a great new feature by my colleague Dan McCarthy about Greece's stunningly fast transition to solar energy — and the challenges of making sure no one is left behind.

www.canarymedia.com/articles/off... Perhaps offshore wind and the lobster industry are actually natural allies?

Can offshore wind help some fish? Research increasingly says yes.
First shipwrecks. Then oil rigs. Now, it’s offshore wind turbines that are becoming artificial reefs for creatures from haddock to lobster.

Huge scoop from @mariagallucci.bsky.social -- a first-in-the-US effort to make steel with clean hydrogen has fallen apart. Swedish steelmaker SSAB pulled out of negotiations for a grant from the DOE, and hydrogen partner Hy Stor is MIA. www.canarymedia.com/articles/gre...
