Chart: How the US electricity mix changed last year Solar and coal were up, and gas, surprisingly, was down. Here are the numbers behind a wild year for the U.S. power sector.

Even with Trump stooges cooking the books for his big fossil fuel donors, renewables still won — cheaper and cleaner. www.canarymedia.com/articles/cle...

US carbon emissions rose in 2025 as coal produced more power The new data bucked the general trend of declining emissions, as booming electricity demand and higher natural gas prices gave coal a temporary opening in…

This flows directly from the fact that clean energy is cheap energy. The Trump administrations opposition to cheaper energy sources has raised the cost of energy AND raised emissions. www.canarymedia.com/articles/emi...

Chart: Clean energy remains dominant in the US — despite Trump Trump spent much of 2025 boosting fossil fuels and blocking renewables, but 92% of new power additions through November were solar, wind, or batteries.

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...

The man behind the fall of offshore wind David Stevenson has solar on his roof and drives a hybrid. How did he become the leader of the movement that helped Trump crush offshore wind farms?

Man this @fieseler.bsky.social long-read for @canarymedia.com is fantastic, and long both due to its length and the fact you will need to walk away from your device, scream into the sky for 5 minutes and return to continue reading

So much to break down here.....

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.

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.

Perhaps offshore wind and the lobster industry are actually natural allies?

We're psyched to have Mike back writing his column for @canarymedia.com. Check it out!

SSAB quietly pulls out of $500M green steel award negotiations The Swedish company sought to make iron using green hydrogen in Mississippi, as part of the Biden administration's $6B Industrial Demonstrations Program.

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...
