India is counting on increasing investments in battery storage to help abate the mounting curtailments of solar power that the grid is currently unable to absorb. Projects that are not equipped with battery storage are unlikely to find buyers, with almost 42 gigawatts of planned capacity yet to sign offtake contracts, Renewables Secretary Santosh Kumar...
Kenya has tripled its long-term target for expanding its renewable energy capacity to meet surging demand and support its industrialization, but that might not result in more affordable power for consumers. The plan calls for renewable power generating capacity of 5,500 megawatts, up from about 1,500 MW now. That would include 2,000 MW of nuclear...
Rather than causing disparate groups to come together to recognize the importance of all forms of energy, oil prices have resulted in some pushing harder for oil and gas and others pressing harder for solar, wind and batteries. This is a false dichotomy. Both are needed.
History keeps repeating itself in the smoldering forests of southwest France, now ash-covered and charred. Devastated by previous blazes in 2022 and 1949, when 82 people died, the largest human-made woodland in Western Europe has again been ravaged by wildfires which burned an area four times the size of Paris.

The Midwest and Northeast registered some of the worst air quality in the world last week as wildfire smoke shrouded cities from Minneapolis to New York in an apocalyptic haze. More than 100 million Americans were under air-quality alerts, with smoke even reaching Washington, D.C., by the weekend. Most of the smoke came from Canada, where about 900 wildfires...
The Trump administration plans to announce Wednesday that it has reached a broad nuclear agreement with Saudi Arabia that could lead to the country enriching its own fuel for nuclear reactors, U.S. officials said.

Here is a fact that should embarrass every climate activist: States with the most liberated energy markets in America are producing better environmental outcomes than the green mandators of Europe — and doing it without impoverishing their people in the process. Freedom, it turns out, is a remarkably effective environmental policy.
President Donald Trump said Sunday night he’s considering making Canada financially compensate the United States for economic damage caused by wildfire smoke that drifted from Canada into parts of the U.S. last week. While speaking to reporters after returning from the World Cup final, Trump said he spoke with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney at the match about the smoke that enveloped much...
France’s state-owned energy group EDF temporarily shut down three nuclear reactors on Sunday, while warning that seven others may need to adjust their power output as the heatwave sweeping the country continues. According to the company, the measure is an environmental protection requirement to avoid discharging excessively hot water into rivers already warming because of...

The investment will expand capacity at the Leixlip campus on the outskirts of Dublin as part of Intel’s drive to increase output of data center processors, Intel said in...
