Global power demand is growing fast. New solar and wind deployment is growing faster.
Chart: Solar and wind are meeting — and exceeding — new power demand
Through September, the two clean-energy sources outpaced growth in power demand. That trend needs to accelerate for the world to phase out fossil fuels.

Ten years in, the war on coal marches on, with huge victories under its belt. But that doesn’t mean Trump can’t slow its roll.
Can the war on coal still be won?
Ten years ago, the U.S. was on track to phase out coal by 2030, thanks to the Sierra Club. Now Trump and AI are delaying the fuel’s decline.

Once again, look to the states for climate leadership. Colorado will require gas utilities to cut their emissions 41% by 2035. This strategy - set a binding target and let utilities figure it out - has been one of the most effective climate policies in the US. www.canarymedia.com/articles/uti...

FirstEnergy’s Ohio customers will finally see millions of dollars in refunds tied to the utility’s power plant bailout scandal. But will FirstEnergy face further accountability?
After Ohio’s landmark decisions on HB 6 utility scandal, what’s next?
Regulators just fined FirstEnergy $250M over its bribery scheme. While historically high, the amount falls short of what consumer advocates had pushed for.

In September, I went to Greece to report on its rapid move away from coal.

Despite getting ~50% of power from coal a decade ago, it'll be coal free next year. Solar is booming.

It's a stunning shift — but not without challenges for Greece's coal region.
