In 2025, Great Britain set a record for renewable electricity generation, with wind and solar leading the way, though reliance on fossil gas remains a challenge to achieving the government's 2030 clean power target, amid ongoing grid and storage upgrades.
During a holiday, Donald Trump posted a misleading social media image claiming wind turbines in the US kill bald eagles, but the photo actually showed a falcon killed at an Israeli wind farm eight years ago, highlighting a mistake in his claim.
The Trump administration halted the Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind project and four other East Coast wind projects citing national security concerns, leading to a drop in shares of Dominion Energy and other developers, and raising concerns about energy reliability and jobs.
The article discusses how Donald Trump's decision to halt a Rhode Island wind farm project, Revolution Wind, reflects his opposition to renewable energy, which contradicts his claims of promoting energy independence and economic strength. This decision not only risks wasting significant investments and jobs but also undermines the future of clean energy and broader economic stability, highlighting the self-destructive nature of his policies.
In Iowa, GOP Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks faces political challenges due to her vote to end wind energy incentives, which conflicts with her state's reliance on wind power and could impact her re-election prospects amid broader Republican efforts to curb renewable energy support.
President Trump is actively working to prevent a shift away from fossil fuels both domestically and internationally, using tariffs and diplomatic pressure to discourage the adoption of renewable energy sources like wind and solar, and urging other countries to increase their fossil fuel consumption.
President Donald Trump falsely claimed that windmills in New Jersey are responsible for rising energy prices, but the state's offshore wind projects have not been built and wind energy contributes minimally to its electricity supply. The increase in energy costs is due to other factors, and recent developments include canceled wind projects and increased energy bills amid a hot summer.
Trump's energy secretary acknowledges that rising power prices will be blamed on policies but attributes the issues to Democratic policies, highlighting ongoing support for wind and solar energy in certain contexts like Iowa and Alaska, while emphasizing a shift towards baseload power sources such as fossil fuels and nuclear.
The $11 billion Grain Belt Express wind transmission project, intended to carry clean energy across multiple states, faces political opposition and the loss of a federal loan guarantee under the Trump administration, highlighting ongoing conflicts over renewable energy infrastructure in the U.S.
Penn State student Divya Tyagi has refined a 100-year-old equation to improve wind turbine efficiency and durability, potentially boosting energy output and reducing costs in renewable energy.
The Trump administration is implementing new measures to significantly delay or block wind and solar energy projects by requiring extensive review and approval processes, citing the need to align with executive orders and energy policies, which critics argue will hinder renewable energy development.
A surprise excise tax on wind and solar projects was inserted into a Republican-led domestic policy bill, causing confusion among senators and industry critics, with many questioning its origin and intent, and some calling for its removal due to its potential to harm renewable energy growth.
