Hochul announces plans to construct new nuclear power plant in New York
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul announced plans to build the state’s first major nuclear power plant in decades, framing it as key to a “clean, reliable and affordable” energy grid. The proposed upstate facility would generate at least one gigawatt of zero-emission power – enough for ~1 million homes – addressing grid strain from AI-driven […]

German fairytale forest to be cleared for WIND TURBINES
Germany’s historic Reinhardswald Forest, famed for its ties to Grimm’s Fairy Tales and its centuries-old trees, is being cleared to build 18 wind turbines (each taller than most skyscrapers), sparking intense debate over environmental priorities. The forest is a critical habitat for endangered species like the Eurasian lynx and a cultural landmark. Critics argue destroying […]

Study: Renewable energy boom fails to displace fossil fuels
A study analyzing U.S. energy data (1997-2020) found that despite rapid renewable energy growth, fossil fuel production (coal, oil, natural gas) has not declined, challenging assumptions that renewables naturally reduce carbon-intensive energy use. Over 96 percent of fossil fuel output variation was tied to geological reserves – states with abundant resources continued extraction regardless of […]

Trump admin redirects $365M meant for solar power projects in Puerto Rico to more reliable fossil fuels
The DOE redirected $365 million from Puerto Rico’s planned rooftop solar projects to fossil fuel-based power generation, citing urgent grid stabilization needs. Energy Secretary Chris Wright justified the move by emphasizing Puerto Rico’s chronic blackouts and aging infrastructure, prioritizing immediate relief over long-term renewable investments. Supporters, including Puerto Rico’s governor, called it necessary for addressing […]

Renewable energy leader Denmark mulls reversal of its decades-old nuclear power ban
Denmark is reconsidering its 40-year ban on nuclear power, with parliament voting overwhelmingly (102-8) to overturn the 1985 phase-out law, signaling a shift toward a more resilient energy mix. Despite being a global leader in wind energy (generating over 50 percent of its electricity) and solar power, Denmark acknowledges that intermittent renewables alone cannot ensure […]

A crime against nature: Ancient olive trees uprooted for solar farms in Spain
Centuries-old olive groves in Spain’s Andalusia region are being uprooted to make way for solar energy projects, sparking resistance from farmers who see their livelihoods and cultural heritage threatened. The regional government uses a Franco-era expropriation law to seize land “in the public interest,” while farmers and activists accuse authorities of prioritizing corporate profits over […]

Green energy experiment by Spain and Portugal fails with power grid collapse and blackout
A massive power outage on April 28 left millions without electricity, disrupting transportation, emergency services and commerce – one of Europe’s worst peacetime blackouts. The collapse followed Spain’s celebration of running entirely on renewable energy, exposing the instability of wind and solar power when traditional baseload sources (like nuclear or fossil fuels) are phased out. […]
