Have you heard of the HUGE solar project that’s been denied a permit in Nevada? It would power 2 million homes ⚡️👇
The Biggest Solar Project in North America is on Hold. Dozens of states across the U.S. are fighting for solar but one huge project has been stopped in its tracks.

Clean energy provides 16.6m jobs worldwide, is rapidly decreasing reliance on fossil fuels 🛢️ and is lowering energy bills. The case for clean energy is clear. We need policymakers to put people over politics and stop prioritizing private interests over lower costs and proven solutions.

Solar is the cheapest form of energy and we all need access to it. In 2024, 81% of new renewable energy capacity produced power more cheaply than fossil fuels but barriers to access still exist. States like Utah & Vermont are taking inspiration from plug-in solar successes in countries like Germany.

The technology is ready and so are we. Red tape and slow pathways for approving clean energy projects stand in our way. All we need now are ways to fast-track clean energy projects and make it more accessible to all. 💡 States like Oregon are already taking action to streamline permitting.

The sun supplies us with the cheapest and cleanest power source in existence, that’s also unlimited. It also supplies us with safety, which is why acting on clean energy needs all of us. 🌿☀️Words by @billmckibben.bsky.social
If you’re for peace and democracy, then a solar panel is a valuable tool (and a valuable symbol, a peace sign for our age).Every one that goes up incrementally reduces the attractiveness of the oil that underlies so much conflict and tyranny.

#COP30 kicked off this week and clean energy is already front and center. Simon Stiell’s opening speech acts as our reminder that solar and wind are the world’s answer to ✅ Lower bills ✅ Cleaner air ✅ Climate change 🙌
“Solar and wind are now the lowest-cost power in 90% of the world. 
Renewables overtook coal this year as the world’s top energy source.”“Investments in clean energy and infrastructure will hit another record high this year, with investments in renewables outstripping fossil fuels 2 to 1.”
