Distributed solar and batteries are helping North Carolina communities that were cut off from grid power by flooding. Should utilities build them into resilience plans? It’s important to think ahead about “how to build for the next time a storm comes, so you’re more resilient as a community, and hopefully don’t have the same scale of destruction,” saysJenny Brennan, a climate analyst at the nonprofit Southern Environmental Law.

JUST IN: The federal government has finalized a $861 million loan guarantee to fund what will be Puerto Rico’s largest utility-scale solar and battery storage installations. The island has ambitious climate goals and a ton of rooftop solar, but has so far built few large-scale clean energy projects. Project Marahu could change that.

Canary Media reporter Julian Spector visited the pivotal swing state of Pennsylvania to see if the idea of a clean energy future is resonating with its residents and how that transition is starting to materialize in a place where coal, oil, and gas have reigned supreme since the 1800s. Read the final installment of Julian's reporting series on the rise of clean energy manufacturing in the states that could decide the 2024 election: https://ow.ly/HWlY50TLKrH #Pennsylvania #cleanenergy #USmanufacturing #2024election #cleantech #Pittsburgh
Can energy-rich Pennsylvania chart a path toward decarbonization?

New research predicts global CO2 emissions will begin to decline this year and halve by 2050. That’s not fast enough to meet climate goals. “It’s really a milestone. Instead of saying that we’re on the wrong track, we can say that we’re on the right track, although we’re still at the wrong pace," says DNV's Sverre Alvik. Here's the story https://ow.ly/NzF750TL8ty
Global emissions set to peak in 2024 thanks to EVs, clean energy
