Big surprise: Ohio and Indiana, two red states home to communities that may not be predisposed to the climate benefits of clean energy, are suddenly top-5 states for solar.

Two neighbors live less than 2,000 feet apart.
One pays up to $500/month for electricity. The other averages $130.
One has investor-owned National Grid. The other, a municipal utility.

Fusion has moved beyond the question of whether the physics can work.
Now comes the harder test: Can companies build commercial power plants cheaply enough to compete with solar, batteries, gas and nuclear?

“We know it works. Now it’s a matter of scaling up.” Companies are racing to prove fusion technology can finally move beyond the lab and become an abundant clean power source.

The sheer scale of the Himalayan deluge shocked even climate scientists. I spoke to some this week who explained in great detail why it won't be the last. And why it's so hard to predict where they'll happen next.

I’ve lived here 6.5 years and been to a few dozen Dodgers games in that time.
Not once have I gotten the impression that Dodgers fans aren’t die-hards.
I moved to Los Angeles 14 years ago and absolutely love it. I have also traveled around the country and attended more sporting events than I could possibly count. LA is not a sports town in any sense of the word. It is an entertainment town. A high proportion of residents grew up elsewhere rooting for other teams. If a team is competing for championships and playing a big game the people will turn lot. If it’s not they won’t. In many places the fans are true for hards. There is fluctuation but they pretty much show up regardless. Very few people in LA die hard for their teams. They just find something else to do. Pretty simple.

75 data centers were delayed or blocked by local opposition in just the first three months of the year. Tech companies are starting to freak out.

President Trump’s latest move to shun foreign solar power equipment is part of his effort to rebuild US manufacturing clout. It may simultaneously exacerbate the fast-widening green technology split between the US and the rest of the world. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

How much water do data centers really use, why do they use so much, and is it a problem? I talked to researchers and industry experts to understand the true water footprint of the AI boom:

Believe it or not, there is still climate tech funding activity outside of the AI data center space.
Bill Gates' Breakthrough Energy Ventures just announced the first investment out of its SAF fund to clean aviation fuel startup Lydian.
