California's grid-scale batteries are game-changers! Covering 44% of the evening demand, they’ve reached 17 GW in just five years. Imagine if every grid added tens of GW—smoothing out peaks, replacing gas peakers, and keeping power flowing after sunset.

The result? Cheaper, cleaner, and more reliable energy. Fewer outages, lower bills, and a big boost in emissions cuts. This is how we build a sustainable future!

The UK’s first deep geothermal plant in Cornwall now generates steady, 24/7 renewable power for roughly 10,000 homes using heat from deep underground and also yields lithium, showing geothermal’s potential in strengthening the UK’s electricity supply.

What the UK’s first geothermal power plant means for the nation’s electricity supply

Unlike wind and solar which are weather-dependent sources of renewable energy, geothermal heat can produce energy steadily, day and night, all year round.

#Renewables soar globally despite #US #climate pullback
Trump admin’s reversal of #endangermentfinding was met with dismay by experts; White House argues policy raised energy costs for consumers. Elsewhere in world, green technology is being implemented at pace: Africa’s #solar capacity expanded 17% last year, with 20 nations setting import records, and data this week showed China’s emissions may already be falling thanks in large part to its huge outlay on #cleanpower.
