Offshore winds have the potential to supply coastlines with massive, consistent flows of clean electricity. One study estimates wind farms just offshore could meet 11 times the projected global electricity demand in 2040. In the U.S., the East Coast is an ideal location to capture this power, but there’s a...

A proposal to bring more natural gas into New Jersey hit a brick wall last month, after regulators failed to prove that New Jersey needs more gas. The court-ordered halt sets up another round of legal action. However, it’s going to be a tough row to hoe. Natural gas is up against competition from two newly hatched local clean energy industries in New Jersey, in the form of offshore wind farms and the forthcoming Mid-Atlantic Clean Hydrogen Hub.

If you want to get in on massive solar savings but don't want to install your own panels, community solar might be right for your household. Solar panels are practically magic, turning abundant sunshine into free energy. They save owners a ton of money over time — but they do come with up-front installation costs not everyone can afford.

This is the easiest way to massively lower your electric bill — with no rooftop panels needed

At first, this sounded like the plot to a bad B movie like you’d find if you scroll around for too long on Netflix. I even saw one social media post using a screenshot of the headline (sans context, of course) to explain how the libs are trying to deceive everyone. I mean, the idea of climate change affecting something as universal as the spacetime continuum sounds pretty crazy. But I put in some absolute minimum effort (I read the article), and found out that there is actually something to it!
