China’s breakneck expansion of renewable power continues to set records — but an increasing amount of that wind and solar energy is being wasted because the grid isn’t up to scratch. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/environment/2025/08/05/energy/china-renewables-power-grid/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #environment #energy #solar #wind #renewables #energy #china

On Ireland's western seaboard, researchers are flying a giant kite in the hopes of generating renewable electricity and sparking a "revolution" in wind energy. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/environment/2025/08/04/energy/kite-wind-clean-energy-ireland/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #environment #energy #wind #renewables #energy #ireland

Good news in hard times.

"Peak Energy just shipped the US’s first grid-scale sodium-ion battery"

Good news because we must transition off carbon fuels now, and good news because its not scarce or hard to mine, or behind some prick's tariff wall, its not dirty, won't burst into flames.

Because its salt. Like sunlight, its EVERYWHERE.

The #OneBigBeautifulBill will make it harder to develop #wind & #solar #energy projects, despite the removal of some contentious provisions, industry advocates & lawmakers said.

The #Senate dropped a proposed excise tax on solar & wind energy projects that don't meet strict standards after last-minute negotiations with key #Republican senators seeking better terms for #renewables.

The #Senate also changed language about which #solar & #wind projects can use the 2022 #InflationReductionAct’s #TaxCredits.

In the Senate's final version, projects will be able to use the lucrative credits if they begin construction before 2026.

A previous version was based on when the projects enter service.

Lithuania bans remote Chinese access to #solar, #wind, #storage devices

"Lithuania has decided to tighten its #cybersecurity laws, banning #manufacturers from countries deemed national security threats, including #China, from remotely accessing management systems of solar, wind, and storage facilities. The European Solar Manufacturing Council has backed the move."
