For perspective here, Fervo’s Cape Station site in Utah was permitted for exploratory drilling in 2023. If this gets completed on schedule, they’ll have added 20% of Utah’s power generation in five years.

This is a terrific service for the people who have not yet decarbonized their lives and/or continue to fly during our climate crisis.

Four more years to BEV passing ICE. That’s a blink of an eye in the world of manufacturing. If you’re not already building the production facilities, you’re off the back.

Denmark (currently 89% BEV) used to be the fast one. Now there are five countries projected to go even faster.

Solar and wind met 99.8% of the world’s growth in electricity demand last year. Nuclear added 4% more. Coal and gas combined for -4%. 🔌💡 @ember-energy.org

Tunnels, bridges, power lines, small hydro - infrastructure central 🇳🇴 This is about a $50 million dollar tunnel serving a small surf town with about 20 permanent residents. Trollfjord I hydro is 3.2 MW, 178m head, 61% CF. It’s easy when you have mountains and lots of rainfall. 🔌💡

From me and Bethany Kanten in the Park Record, on positive climate advocacy. 🔌💡 “Joy isn’t naive. It is how movements grow. Joy doesn’t mean ignoring loss or pretending the stakes aren’t high. It means refusing to let despair be the organizing principle.” www.parkrecord.com/2026/03/18/r...

It’s great to see the political consensus on restoring the lake. But it’s not an easy task - or a cheap one. There’s work to do. @evanbush.bsky.social

The audacious plan to refill the Great Salt Lake
A "Herculean" goal to replenish the water in Utah's Great Salt Lake by the 2034 Olympics is gaining momentum and attracting strange bedfellows.

Global sales of pure ICE cars still set to drop below 50% in 2029. US automakers ignore that shift at their own peril.

The bad news: “corruption, brutality, and casual disregard for the law.” The good news: “a glimmer of hope that many institutions and processes appear far more resistant to takeover than those that have crumbled underfoot elsewhere.”

That’s equivalent to the volume of a Deer Creek Reservoir each year. Or you can think of it as 6% of the state’s consumptive water use. We’re not done, but this is a big deal. If we’re going to refill the lake before the Olympics, we need a couple of interventions at this scale each year.

American officers know what Trump is planning, and their minds will rebel at directives to take everything they’ve prepared to do for years and apply it backwards, against the allies they have trained to work with and protect. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

If you’re not building electric drivetrains right now, you’re out of the game. This is where everything is heading. There are just too many advantages.

The Trump administration tried to take a sledgehammer to clean energy this year. And while he took a few good chunks out of the industry, it’s still going strong.

The Trump administration brought the sledgehammer down on clean energy — but that still wasn't enough to crush it.

It was a rough year for clean energy, but the industry is still on its way up. Here are 10 charts that prove it.

Clean energy is still winning. These 10 charts prove it.
Solar and wind are beating new power demand, steelmaking is slowly getting off coal, and more clean energy victories are clear in these charts.
