Florida receives more sunlight than almost any state in the continental U.S., yet barely 2% of its rooftop solar potential has been tapped. Regulatory choices, not geography, explain the gap — and residents are paying for it.
Georgia's Vogtle plant completed America's first new reactors in 30 years — at staggering cost and delay. Now a new generation of smaller, modular designs is making a quieter, more economically credible case for nuclear's role in the clean grid.
No renewable mandate, no carbon price — yet Texas leads the nation in wind and solar. What pure market economics looks like when the numbers actually work.
Record installations, falling costs, and the IRA's tax incentives have made utility-scale solar the backbone of America's clean energy buildout — but bottlenecks are testing the pace.
The FERC interconnection queue holds over 2,700 GW. AI data centers, EV charging, and extreme weather are all landing at once on infrastructure never designed for this load.
31% of U.S. households live in multifamily buildings where on-site EV charging is available at only 5% of properties. The NEVI program is moving — just not fast enough.
More than 12 GW of planned U.S. offshore capacity has been canceled since 2022. The retreat is real — but the underlying need for clean firm power hasn't gone away.
The U.S. became the world's largest LNG exporter in 2023, but volatile spot markets, shifting European demand, and domestic opposition are testing the industry's long-term case for massive capital investment.
