Even in red America, clean energy is booming. But now, huge renewable projects are dead.
Published by The Guardian, Renewable Energy World, Mississippi Today, The Invading Sea. Renewable energy in the United States has surged to unprecedented levels, with the combined power generated by solar, wind and geothermal more than tripling over the past decade, according to a new report by a network of state environmental groups. The growth has slashed harmful greenhouse gas emissions, made the nation's energy system more resilient and prevented thousands of premature deaths from power plant pollution, according to the report by Environment America. But this progress faces increasing resistance as President Donald Trump in his first 15 weeks in office has begun to dismantle federal policies and spending aimed at slowing climate change. It's all happening at a time of heightened concern among environmentalists. Despite an international accord to lower greenhouse gas emissions, the atmosphere now contains record levels of heat-trapping gasses. All 50 states have warmed since the first Earth Day in 1970, according to a new analysis by Climate Central, an independent nonprofit group that researches and disseminates information about climate change and its effects. Among the highlights of the Environment America report: The amount of solar energy produced in 2024 — enough to power 28 million homes — was nearly eight times higher than a decade earlier. Solar power production increased 27% from 2023 to 2024. Wind produced even more energy — enough to power 42 million homes in 2024. The amount of power from wind has more than doubled over the past decade. Wind, solar and geothermal energy accounted for 19% of all retail sales of electricity last year, according to the federal data used to produce the report. The amount of utility-scale battery storage in the United States grew 63% from 2023 to 2024 — and a more than 80-fold increase over the past decade. Nearly 3.3 million electric vehicles were on U.S. roads at the end of 2023 – a 25-fold increase from 2014. The number of electric vehicle charging ports, meanwhile, grew to more than 218,000 at the end of 2024 – six times more than 2015 and a 24% increase from just the year before. More than 1.5 million plug-in electric vehicles were sold in 2024, an increase of more than 7% over the previous year, according to Argonne National Laboratory. Nearly 300,000 new electric vehicles were sold in the United States during the first quarter of 2025 — an 11% increase over the same period last year, Kelley Blue Book data shows. 'The growth of these clean energy technologies is now clearly benefiting people in all 50 states, and they're really providing the building blocks of a clean energy system free from dirty and inefficient fuels,' said Johanna Neumann, senior director of the Campaign for 100% Renewable Energy, which is led by Environment America. 'And the more that we can accelerate the progress that we've seen, the better it'll be for our health and for our environment.' Most of the states that have seen the biggest percentage increases in wind, solar and geothermal energy over the past decade are in the South — and most are Republican states, according to a Floodlight analysis of the federal data used in the Environment America report. Some of those states, including Mississippi and Alabama, still rank low in the total amount of renewable energy produced. But other right-leaning Southern states, including Florida and North Carolina, now rank above most others in terms of the total renewable energy generated. For those concerned about climate change, however, a new analysis points to a more worrisome sign: Almost $8 billion in investments — including 16 large-scale factories and other projects — were canceled, closed or downsized in the first three months of 2025, according to the report by E2, a nonpartisan group of business leaders who advocate for sound environmental policies. Likely contributing to the cancellations: market uncertainty and the debate in Congress over repealing tax credits and other incentives for clean energy projects. The $7.9 billion in investments withdrawn this year are more than three times the amount canceled over the previous two years, the E2 report notes. 'Clean energy companies still want to invest in America, but uncertainty over Trump administration policies and the future of critical clean energy tax credits are taking a clear toll,' E2 spokesman Michael Timberlake said in a statement. The Inflation Reduction Act, President Joe Biden's massive climate law, extended renewable energy tax credits until at least 2032. Whether the Republican-controlled Congress will eliminate those tax credits is unclear. 'I think that market certainty has been stripped away for many of these technologies right now, and they're feeling uneasy,' Neumann said. 'And so it's not surprising to me that we're seeing a retraction in investment.' Floodlight is a nonprofit newsroom that investigates the powers stalling climate action.

Stretch Your Dollar: Programs, strategies to make DMV college costs more palatable
MCLEAN, Va. () — One minute you're cheering as your student turns their tassel at graduation, the next you're in shock after seeing college tuition prices. College is more expensive than ever, and if you've talked to any graduate drowning in student debt, you might start to rethink attending your dream school. But there are ways to bring those costs down—and some of them may surprise you. Finding summer jobs for teens in the DMV Brock Jolly of The College Funding Coach, a nationwide company that prepares families to choose and pay for college, said families should weigh a college's financial fit just as much as its academics, location and campus culture. His first piece of advice is to draw a line in the sand, determining early on what your family can truly afford and how you will pay. 'Determine whether you're eligible for financial aid or not,' Jolly said. 'If you can qualify for need-based aid, our objective is to show your family how to optimize or maximize your need-based aid eligibility.' Strategies vary by case; for example, his advice for business owners is entirely different from his guidance for W-2 employees. In the D.C., Maryland and Virginia region, higher household incomes can sometimes work against you—especially when compared to families in areas with lower living costs. Tax planning a few years ahead of college can help position your family to receive more aid. 'Stretch those dollars as far as possible and make your money work really effectively, whether that is qualifying for scholarships, using, dollars that you have set aside, using cash flow, figuring out tax minimization strategies, etc.,' Jolly said. How to get your share of $95 million Apple settlement Discrepancies between in-state and out-of-state tuition can be a deciding factor. Jolly said some DMV families save big simply by moving across state lines to position their students to attend state universities. 'That might save $40,000 a year, times three more years,' he said. If a student's intended major isn't offered at their in-state school, certain reciprocity programs allow students to pay in-state rates at certain out-of-state partner schools, including the State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement (SARA), the Academic Common Market (ACM), and the Midwest Student Exchange Program (MSEP). 'You can search by state, you can search by academic institution, and you can say, what are the programs that are available at the schools that I'm considering?' Jolly said. Community colleges in the DMV offer savings and academic rigor. Pathways programs at Northern Virginia Community College or one of Maryland's local colleges promise strong students admission to a four-year state college university after two years. That route can cut tuition by about 40%, and Jolly said future employers won't know—or care—that you didn't start at a four-year school. 'The diploma is from the four-year institution, and that's all future employers know,' he said. Students in D.C. don't have the same in-state college options as their neighbors in Maryland and Virginia, but there's a major perk: a city grant that covers up to $10,000 a year for students attending eligible colleges nationwide. The D.C. Tuition Assistance Grant is offered to D.C. Public School students. DCTAG reimburses public colleges and universities up to $10,000 per year, for a lifetime maximum of $50,000 per student. It reimburses eligible private colleges and universities up to $2,500 each year, for a lifetime maximum of $12,500 per student. Experts warn that tariffs schemes could trick consumers into paying fake fees Jolly said roughly 2,500 colleges and universities are approved by DCTAG to receive the grants. 'That program is really broad,' Jolly said. 'If you live in D.C. and have a college-bound student, it's really worth looking at that list of schools.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
