The US Commercial Rooftop Solar Market Is About To Explode, Federal Tax Credits Or Not
31 Jul 2025 | Synopsis
"...it's a mystery why federal policy makers are ignoring solar in favor of other, more cumbersome and expensive domestic energy resources..."New subscription-style pay-as-you-go financing models have relieved property owners of that burden. Virtual power plants, the distributed energy resource trend, and the booming community solar movement are three additional factors supporting the commercial rooftop solar movement."
A Powerful Essay On Renewable Energy Reminds Us How Witheringly Stupid The US Has Become
31 Jul 2025 | Synopsis
Environmental author and activist Bill McKibben’s recent essay highlights the rapid global rise of solar power—adding a terawatt every two years—and the potential of wind energy, contrasting it with current U.S. policies curbing renewables. He criticizes the administration's baseload bias and new Interior Department restrictions on wind and solar, warning that such moves squander a historic opportunity for domestic clean energy growth.Does America's Current Interior Secretary Know What a Battery Is?
31 Jul 2025 | Synopsis
Interior Secretary Doug Burgum questioned the reliability of wind and solar, stating solar fails at night and dismissing batteries - as if they didn't exist. His comments came amid the administration’s plan to eliminate green energy tax credits and revoke preferential treatment for renewables. Critics pointed out the irony: under Burgum's previous tenure as North Dakota governor, wind and solar made up over 40% of that state’s electricity.Ford's "Model T Moment": What Jim Farley Is Signaling with a New EV Platform

Hydrogen's Flight Path: Fuel Cells, Turbines, and the Economics of Clean Aviation
10 Oct 2025 | 
Aviation is shifting from Jet A to four fuel systems: electricity, hydrogen (fuel cell and combustion), SAF, and petroleum. Fuel cells suit short-haul aircraft; hydrogen combustion may power long-range jets. SAF bridges legacy fleets. Hydrogen costs - $5-$7/kg today, possibly $2/kg by 2040 - impact ticket prices and infrastructure decisions. Airport authorities, airlines, and governments will share deployment costs. Each fuel has distinct environmental pros and cons shaping aviation's net-zero future.
