PV Magazine has reported on 23 policies with the benefits of plug-in solar clearer than ever - energy bill reductions ✅ support of the clean energy sector ✅ lowered emissions ✅ pv-magazine-usa.com/2026/01/30/w...

There’s a BIG UPDATE to the progress of plug-in solar across the U.S. 🙌 Inspired by Utah’s law, 23 are now proposing policies to make affordable, accessible solar available for all. Take a look if your state is on the list ⬇️

157 new solar projects. 36 new wind projects. Enough clean energy to power 16 million homes. That’s all happening in the UK, where 6% of electricity in 2025 was powered by the sun ☀️ Read the news: www.theguardian.com/business/202...

“We don’t really need it anymore. We don’t need to be setting things on fire.” 👏

Clean energy experts sat down to discuss the power of solar for The Light Won't Dim, including @billmckibben.bsky.social ⏯️ Find the full documentary on YouTube: youtu.be/IDK-3RC5SgY

You can read the forecast in full here but it’s safe to say, the future is looking bright ☀️ www.eia.gov/outlooks/ste...

Wind power is expected to increase by 12% too, despite political challenges - some of which have now been fought, with 5 major wind projects resuming construction in 2026.

The future of U.S. energy isn’t in oil and gas. It’s in the sky. The EIA’s recent energy forecast has shown that solar power is expected to increase by 49% in 2 years - remaining the FASTEST growing energy source in the U.S 🤯

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.

Here are 3 reminders for why we need to champion renewables now more than ever for International Day of Clean Energy 👇🔋 #WorldCleanEnergyDay

European Electricity Review 2026 | Ember The EU’s electricity transition reached a new milestone in 2025 with wind and solar generating more power than fossil fuels.

Read the full breakdown on Europe’s clean energy triumph here: ember-energy.org/latest-insig...

Solar generation alone increased by 20% in 2025, with Denmark topping the leaderboard, generating 71% of power with solar and wind. 🇩🇰

With growth in every E.U. country and clean energy beating fossil fuels in 14 out of 27 countries, it’s clear that policy that supports the energy transition works, providing cleaner, cheaper electricity for the whole of Europe 🙌

Solar & Wind Overtake Fossil Fuels in Europe For The First Time Ever

It’s official - clean energy is leading the way in #Europe for the first time EVER with the sun and wind generating more electricity than fossil fuels in 2025 💥🧵

Judge Strikes Down Trump’s Latest Effort to Stop Offshore Wind Project

👷 Construction will now resume, saving thousands of jobs and powering over 350,000 homes and businesses as part of the $6.2 billion project which was nearly complete. A win that’s not just good for the planet but for people, too.

Wind power won't be stopped in the U.S. - Rhode Island just won a legal battle over wind power that proves clean energy is unstoppable.

🙌 Clean #energy is going nowhere! We're celebrating a huge win for wind power in Rhode Island. Developers successfully challenged the U.S. Interior Department's attempts to block a new wind farm 🧵

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.

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

We know 50% is a huge tipping point for rapid progress as almost ALL car sales in Norway are now fully #electric, since they hit the milestone in 2020 🙌 www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

Analysis by @ember-energy.org found that:
🚘 Over 1/4 of new car sales across the globe are now electric 🇮🇩 Indonesia beat the US with 15% EV sales share

Over 1/4 of new car sales are now electric. More countries than ever had an EV share greater than 10% in 2025.

Here’s a clean energy win fuelling us for 2026 🤩⚡️ From Norway to Indonesia, 2025 saw huge increases in #EV sales, making it clear that electric is the way to go 🧵

Go for it! That's a great way to shine a light on solar ☀️

Imagine not having to worry about the cost of keeping the lights on 💡 Solar power is already making that vision a reality.

Q3 Global Power Report: No fossil fuel growth expected in 2025 | Ember Solar and wind power grew fast enough to keep up with rising electricity demand in the first three quarters of 2025, as fossil fuel growth should be stagnated. Ember forecasts no growth for fossil fue...

In the first 9 months of 2025, clean energy has generated 498 TWh of solar power, with no more fossil fuel growth expected for 2025. 🎉 This is a fact worth remembering.

ember-energy.org/latest-insig...

FACT: Clean energy is meeting our new energy demand

Energy demand is soaring but do we need more fossil fuels to make up for it? 🤔 The answer is… NO! Recent research by @ember-energy.org shows that in 2025, power from the sun and wind have exceeded our global energy needs ☀️

The state is also aiming to add 8 gigawatts of energy storage, with 7 gigawatts already planned for development - supporting cheaper, cleaner energy while tackling climate change 🔋 www.salemreporter.com/2025/11/21/g...

This month, Oregon’s governor, @tinakotek.bsky.social, signed an executive order to fast-track clean energy projects and ensure the state is taking advantage of tax incentives as part of its clean energy strategy ⚡️

We’re feeling thankful for the states and local governments like #Oregon taking action on clean energy despite federal cutbacks 🙌🧵
