billion in loan guarantees for the construction and operation of two new nuclear reactors at a plant in Burke, Georgia. Southern Nuclear, a subsidiary of Southern Company, will oversee the construction as well as operate the two new units for Georgia Power and the other owners. —President Obama.
They considered biomass, wind, solar, and municipal waste resources within the Eastern Interconnection eligible to meet RESs.

At Consumer Electronics Show Asia, Ford launched a strategic collaboration with Haier (home appliance), Trina Solar (solar power) and Delta Electronics (power management) to introduce MyEnergi Lifestyle ( earlier post ) to China, a holistic approach for lowering the energy costs and carbon footprint of Chinese families.
Electrofuels approaches will use organisms able to extract energy from other sources, such as solar-derived electricity or hydrogen or earth-abundant metal ions. of Georgia). from solar PV) to convert carbon dioxide into liquid alcohol fuels. Electrofuels. NC State University. Lead organization. Description.
In addition to program in support of the coal and electric power industries, the center has expanded over time to address issues in carbon capture and management, electrochemical energy storage, biomass energy and biofuels, and other renewable energy systems such as photovoltaic and thermoelectric power. Herrick Laboratories; $11.6
The projects are located in North Carolina, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Georgia, and Quebec, Canada (through collaboration with a company based in Lexington, Ky.). Researchers hope to achieve a commercially feasible CO 2 reforming process that will produce useful commodities using the entire solar spectrum.
Under this cost-shared research and development (R&D), DOE is awarding $51 million to nine new projects for coal and natural gas power and industrial sources. In prior work with DOE, MTR has advanced membrane CO 2 capture technology for coal power plants through small engineering scale testing and studies.
Direct Solar Fuels (5 projects). A novel process known as Syngas Chemical Looping (SCL), in which coal and biomass are converted to electricity and CO 2 is efficiently captured, has been successfully demonstrated on a laboratory scale. Energy Efficient Capture of CO 2 from Coal Flue Gas. DIRECT SOLAR FUELS.

That’s more than the installed capacity of coal (207.15 of the total. of the total.

The renewable energy mix – biomass, geothermal, hydropower, solar, and wind – is now nearly 30% of total US electrical generating capacity.
rooftop) solar increased by 16.1% Small-scale solar alone grew by 20.1% – faster than any other energy source. In December alone, small-scale solar increased by 21.4% while total solar grew by 30.7%. As a result, by the end of 2023, solar was 5.6% Small-scale solar accounted for 30.9% compared to 2022.
Divan: If we go back to around the year 2000, at that point, solar LCOE ( levelized cost of energy ) was $850 per kilowatt-hour, and batteries were $1,200/KWh. There was nobody in their right mind who thought that that would ever become competitive with gas and coal sitting at around $35/KWh and $50/KWh.
Anticipated demand from the auto industry—as well as solar-panel manufacturing and data centers—is leading utilities to forecast single-digit percentage growth every year through the end of the decade in some regions, according to report.
In March alone, solar accounted for 99.7% In March alone, solar accounted for 99.7% FERC says 52 “units” of solar provided 2,833 megawatts (MW) of new domestic generating capacity in March, or 99.72% of the total. Solar has now been the largest source of new generating capacity from September 2023 to March 2024.
Photo: Openverse Renewables – solar, wind, biomass, geothermal, hydropower – are now 30% of total US electrical generating capacity, according to analysis of FERC’s mid-year data. That puts solar on track to become the US’s second-largest source of capacity – behind only natural gas – within three years. Solar accounted for 77.4%
Solar also provided nearly 100% of all new generating capacity in August, according to the SUN DAY Campaign, who reviewed the FERC data. What’s more, renewable energy sources – biomass, geothermal, hydropower, solar, wind – accounted for over 90.1% Solar was 99.6% Solar accounted for 78.3% of all new capacity added.
How fast can you ramp your power plants up and down to handle the variability from wind and solar? Energy Information Administration (EIA) and IEA vastly under project ed wind and solar deployments. We did downscaling of where you would build all the wind and solar generation that the model suggested.
on a path to reducing emissions more than 40% below 2005 levels, per a Princeton University analysis of the measure’s impacts : expanded tax credits for EVs, batteries, solar panels and wind turbines. Utility-scale photovoltaic solar array. carbon sequestration (capture and storage, i.e.).
In addition, renewables i.e., solar, wind, biomass, geothermal, and hydropower provided almost 25% of the USs electrical generation during the first 10 months of 2024. During the first 10 months of 2024, solar and wind added 21,425 MW and 2,799 MW, respectively. In October alone, solar comprised 91.8% through October.

Solar was 80.1%
His first administration provided billions in loan guarantees for the construction of the newest Vogtle reactors in Georgia. The first time Trump ran for president, he vowed to preserve the coal industry, but this time around, he rarely mentioned it. Trump’s stance on nuclear power, however, is less clear.
Today’s diversified multinational energy companies have invested deeply in solar panels, energy storage, and charging networks, with wells and refineries and combustion only part of the business. He made a pledge to “bring back coal,” and he has suggested that climate change itself is a hoax created by China to hurt U.S. businesses.
