Because it's clean and cheaper and faster to build!
Chart: Clean energy remains dominant in the US — despite Trump
Trump spent much of 2025 boosting fossil fuels and blocking renewables, but 92% of new power additions through November were solar, wind, or batteries.

Massachusetts’ gas phaseout has stalled, and a legal battle between utilities, regulators, and advocates is to blame.
The legal battle bogging down Massachusetts’ plan to ditch gas
In 2023, state regulators released a landmark order paving the way for a clean energy transition. Utilities aren’t quite ready to embrace the change.

EXCLUSIVE: I received a copy of the letter sent to developers today halting construction on all 5 offshore wind farms being built in America.
What’s new here is the close “coordination” with the “Department of War” in determining the “risk” poised by these wind farms. And the threat to “cancel.”
