Worldwide renewable energy investment has slowed sharply, Bloomberg reports. Solar is doing well. Wind is doing poorly. And much of the damage is due to Trump’s shutdown of most offshore wind projects

After years of rapid expansion, residential solar growth has stalled. Many hoped American homes would go green. But the government took away large tax incentives, which has crippled the industry

Over 9,000 teenage athletes suffer heat-related illnesses each year as the world gets hotter. the problem worsens. This is changing how these young people are trained.

In July, according to research firm ATTOM, foreclosures in Florida were well above the national average. One reason for these figures is hurricane damage and high home insurance rates.

Solar energy home installations fell after a federal tax credit lapsed. Now, much smaller and less expensive installations are available. Local governments are approving them.

One major shipping route is closed —the Strait of Hormuz —because of war. Another of the world’s largest transit routes is in trouble. Drought is threatening operations at the Panama Canal.

Natural gas availability could rise by high double digits in the next year. That means emissions across that nation will surge. The reason? Electricity for AI data centers.

Wildfire smoke mixed with rain is a good fertilizer. That seems like an odd benefit to highlight, given the terrible effects.

The North American Electric Reliability Corporation released a report stating there is an “imbalance” between electricity supply and demand in New York City. That means that if it gets very hot, New York could face blackouts like those it has had in the past.

Trump hoped to jump-start more American oil drilling. He opened federal land to permits. What he didn’t know was that oil companies wanted to make money on the wells they already had, especially given the current shortage. Now he has to worry about whether he can tap into their “excess” profits.

The number is a record, and the annual total could be 90,000. It shows the extent of a growing problem that endangers people and destroys property, and there are no good solutions to stop the rise.

There are 4,000 data centers in the US, and that number grows by hundreds each year. That growth continues even though governments block almost 500. Most still need fossil fuels for electricity.

Wildfires used to be unusual in Europe. They burn there now, also across a growing part of the US, and in Canada and Russia. Scientists blame global warming and drought for the increase

The days when it appeared that human effort could stop or slow global warming are over. The question is: how bad will it get?

Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. “Gasoline, while not at all-time records, is at its highest level ever recorded this late in the calendar year, meaning Americans could for the first time ever see a national average price of gasoline above $4 per gallon on Labor Day—eclipsing the previous record of $3.83…

AC is eating up electricity nearly as fast as AI data centers. The electricity supply just isn’t there. This means higher prices and blackouts. New building design may change this, but that will take years.

20 cities or more will have temperatures of 100 degrees F or higher this week. They are spread from Arizona to Tampa. What is often not obvious is how high heat affects local economies. Some businesses shut down completely.

Fires near Reno have caused the evacuation of 90,000 people. In a city that relies on tourism, it’s a meaningful problem.

Diesel prices are up much more than gas prices. This is largely because of refinery capacity. Over 70% of US goods are moved by truck. The supply chain is getting very expensive, which is great for renewable energy.

Recent research shows that some five-year-old used EVs are worth 50% less than when they were new. The Tesla Model Y and Model S have done worse, down over 60%. Why? A glut of Teslas is coming off leases. Second, more brands that were new a few years ago have entered the used-car market. Finally,…

Some of America’s largest forests have been damaged by disease and fire. At one time, these areas were resilient. In most places, that time is over. This critical ecosystem helped fight global warming.
