The U.S. has seen a manufacturing boom since the Inflation Reduction Act, especially in the emerging Southeastern battery belt. But these projects and associated jobs are potentially at risk with proposed changes to tax credits.

Sheep for Solar Panels, think #FossilFuels are Baaaaaad. 🐑
"The sheep like the shade, plus the solar panels increase grass yield and protect sheep from predators," said Pearce. Meanwhile, Pearce revealed farmers and shepherds reap their own set of benefits, as "sheep eliminate the need for herbicides or costly grass cutting on the solar farms."
Researchers make unexpected discovery about sheep raised in nontraditional environment: 'There is an enormous opportunity'

“We’ve been working on a plan since April 2023 that would provide solar energy to hundreds of households in two low and moderate income Columbus neighborhoods,” says Mullett.
“Unless the Trump administration makes a 180-degree turn on funding, that expectation will obviously not be met.”

The U.S. solar energy industry has succeeded in doing something that would have been hard to imagine a few years ago: It has officially built enough factories to meet the country’s demand for solar panels.

Will Trump derail the thriving industry?

'There is an enormous opportunity'
It's rare to find a scenario where everyone comes out on top, but researchers at the University of Western Ontario say they've found that elusive outcome when it comes to pairing sheep with solar panels. The researchers examined the potential of agrivoltaics growth in Canada and published findings in the Applied Energy journal. In layman's terms, agrivoltaics means using farmlands for solar panels and agriculture at the same time.  'Canada had an early start in North America in sheep-based agrivoltaics, where sheep would be brought in to trim the grass on large-scale solar farms,' noted study co-leader Joshua Pearce in

"Why are electricity prices so high if renewables are so cheap?" I have been asked.

The main reason: expensive fossil gas still sets the price 63% of the time in wholesale electricity markets in EU27 & >90% in some countries.
