"Trump claims China doesn’t use wind power - but the world’s largest wind farm is there"

Trump ‘can’t find’ any wind farms in China. Is he looking hard enough?
Trump used the WEF in Davos to double-down on his attacks against renewable energy. But was anything he said accurate?

Very happy to see Trump’s illegal block on wind farm development thrown out by a judge, along with the Orwellian justification given for it—a classic inversion of the truth. Every accusation is a confession, etc. (“The government argued that the states’ claims amount to nothing more than a policy disagreement over preferences for wind versus fossil fuel energy development that is outside the federal court’s jurisdiction.”)

Federal judge throws out Trump order blocking development of wind energy
A federal judge has struck down President Donald Trump’s executive order blocking wind energy projects, saying the effort to halt virtually all leasing of wind farms on federal lands and waters was “arbitrary and capricious” and violates U.S. law. Judge Patti Saris of the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts vacated Trump’s Jan. 20 executive order. Saris ruled in favor of a coalition of state attorneys general from 17 states and Washington, D.C., led by New York's attor…

ArcelorMittal is betting big on India's clean energy future with $900M in new projects.
The steel giant is building a 250MW wind farm, 300MW solar facility, and massive battery storage in Gujarat—cutting 1.59 million tons of CO2 annually. Combined with projects in Brazil and Argentina, they're adding 3.3GW of renewable capacity.

ArcelorMittal announces $900m renewable energy projects in India
ArcelorMittal has unveiled three new renewable energy projects with a combined nominal solar and wind capacity of 1 gigawatt (GW) in India, representing an total expenditure of about $900m.

Review of the cost structure for connecting generators to the grid really is long overdue.
Instead of charging Scottish generators more to connect to the grid, the UK government should be investing to increase energy storage to make the most of our renewable generation capacity.

Plans for huge wind farm paused over 'unfair' grid charges
A developer warns that a development will not be built unless "unfair" transmission charges are overhauled.

This week, public power is stepping up.
Great British Energy is targeting 15 GW of wind, solar and storage by 2030. New York's NYPA is building 5.5 GW of renewables. Bolivia launched its first Indigenous protected area with forest monitoring. Tennessee turned a former farm into Middle Fork Bottoms State Park, reconnecting floodplains to reduce flooding.
