Caveats apply, as this data is only through November, but so far, this year, 92% of the new power plants built in the U.S. have been solar/batteries/wind.
92%! In the year Trump tried to destroy clean energy!

Qianjiadong Reservoir in southern Hunan, China, produces a double harvest: solar energy and yellow carp. The solar farm produces up to 80 megawatts of power while the fish forage beneath the panels. With a massive scale-up of solar and wind at home and cheap exports of the technology, China is driving a worldwide surge of renewable energy—Science’s 2025 Breakthrough of the Year.
Science has named the seemingly unstoppable growth of renewable energy worldwide as the 2025 Breakthrough of the Year.

The data is in -- pollinator-friendly #solar increases #biodiversity and regenerates overworked soils.
"Once prairie vegetation was established, pollinators were observed using the site as much as dedicated conservation land."

We develop, own and operate community-scale solar and energy storage projects. As a certified #BCorp, we leverage our business as a #forceforgood — turning brownfields to #brightfields and deploying dual-use solutions like pollinator-friendly ground cover and solar grazing across our portfolio.
Encore is joining the Solar Energy Industries Association and 200 companies from across the #solar and #storage industry to demand Congress act on siting, permitting, and transmission.
Now is the time for policy action to support local economies and American workers.
Today marks the beginning of Black History Month! We are inspired by the many Black leaders ushering in a clean energy future, some of whom you can learn more about below:
