Last year, automakers sold 1.3 million new electric vehicles in the U.S., up just 7 percent from 2023.

Solar, batteries, and wind accounted for the vast majority of new electrons on the U.S. grid last year, but fossil fuel use remains high.

From heat pump water heaters and rooftop solar to replacing coal with batteries, these are the energy transition stories that resonated most this year.

These charts on electric vehicles, clean energy, batteries, and more show where the global clean energy transition stands — and where it’s headed.

This year, Canary Media reported on the biggest stories in solar, nuclear, EVs and more. Now, all your reading is about to pay off.

Batteries got 20% cheaper this year, a continuation of the steady cost declines that have enabled battery adoption to take off in recent years.

Clean energy is popular among both Democrats and Republicans, but it’s losing some steam with the latter.

A Trump administration could cause the U.S. to emit an additional 4 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere by 2030, blowing past…

The production of oil and gas, cement, steel, and other industrial products is enormously polluting. Decarbonizing these sectors will take a while.

At COP28, more than 100 countries pledged to triple renewable energy capacity by 2030. That goal could still be within reach.

Millions of Americans will have to switch out their boilers and furnaces for heat pumps in the years to come. These are my main takeaways from getting one.

The state has more wind and large-scale solar than any other, and batteries are booming. The growth is set to continue — but its grid is still far from…

This month, the United Kingdom will shut down its last operational coal-fired power plant, a major milestone as the country’s CO2 emissions continue to…

Sage’s Meta partnership and other recent announcements underscore how next-gen geothermal is gaining traction as a potential source of 24/7 clean power.

The U.S. is pretty much only building clean energy these days, and mostly solar and batteries. That’s good news — but the pace still needs to pick up.

Private and public investment in clean energy rose to a total of $147B in the first half of this year — a record-setting figure.

Though its EV business is contracting, the company’s energy storage segment is growing fast, helping it reap the benefits of surging demand for batteries.

Overall storage installations — meaning utility-scale, home, and commercial projects — grew 84 percent in Q1. Grid battery installations grew even faster.

Nearly 17 million electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids are projected to be sold worldwide this year, a new record.

It’s time to put the questions to rest: Drivers quickly cut their emissions footprint by going electric, and EVs are only getting cleaner.
