California joined 19 other states
on July 16 to take a swing at a Trump administration delay tactic
in approving onshore wind energy projects.
In light of California’s goal for its energy to be 100 percent carbon-free by 2045,
wind plays a large part.
On a hot and humid afternoon like this Friday’s, renewable energy is supplying 70 percent of the 34-gigawatt demand.
Wind makes up 11 percent of that carbon-free renewable energy.
Any project that uses…

Since the Trump/Netanyahu war started to escalate again, the EU natural gas price (TTF) is now €57.50 per MWh, that's 104% higher than at the beginning of the year.
When used for power generation at 60% efficiency, that's almost €100/MWhe for fuel cost only.

Ontario is getting a massive energy storage upgrade. Hydrostor is building a 4 GWh compressed air storage facility in Greater Napanee that will store clean energy underground and release it when the grid needs it most.
Their tech maintains constant pressure and reuses water, making it work in more locations than traditional systems.

But now it's going to be 32 to 33°C and humid, so a National Heat Plan is in force, and the organisation takes care to ensure that no participant is on the bike after 2 p.m. Distance halved. Welcome to the new climate!

Ukraine's energy revolution is being powered by women leaders and local communities. Through initiatives like 100 Solar Schools and 50 Solar Hospitals, the country is building resilience with decentralized renewable systems—solar panels and batteries that keep critical infrastructure running even during conflict.

This morning, I woke up early. One blackbird was singing in our neighbourhood. When it stopped (to find something to eat, I guess), it became silent.
In the 1990s, dozens of songbirds would've been singing, sometimes making so much noise that it was hard to sleep.

Halfway the EU gas storage filling season, the Netherlands is lagging. Our storages are only at 31% now, way behind the EU average of 53%, and other major storage countries like France (52%), Germany (45%) and Italy (71%).
Based on security of supply advice by Gasunie, Dutch government had set a target of 80% by 1 November 2026. Our EU obligation is 74%. Both would practically seem out of reach by now, which is unfortunate in view of our dependence on LNG imports in an unstable world.
