A new report from the Solar Energy Industries Association warns that more than 500 planned solar projects nationwide could be delayed or canceled as the Trump administration pivots back toward fossil fuels.

A proposal to build one of the largest solar projects in the U.S. has been abruptly halted by the Trump administration — a move critics say undermines the nation’s renewable energy transition.

A new scientific analysis shows the U.S. is generating more electricity from wind and solar than ever before, and several states in the Mountain West are helping lead the charge. However, the future growth of wind and solar is uncertain.

A new report shows the nation’s solar workforce grew 6% to nearly 280,000 jobs last year, which is a record high. And a lot of that growth was led by the West.

More than 10 million U.S. homes sit within three miles of a solar farm. A new national survey looks into how people feel about having these large renewable energy projects as their neighbors.

A new report shows wind and solar power account for more of America’s energy than ever before. Some states in the Mountain West are helping lead the charge.

A new report shows rooftop solar energy in the U.S. has increased tenfold over the past decade. Some states in the Mountain West lead the charge while others lag behind.

More and more Americans are turning to rooftop solar panels to lower their energy bills. But having them installed can be expensive – and the cost varies widely across the Mountain West.

A new report shows the U.S. has created more than 170,000 clean energy jobs since Congress passed the Inflation Reduction Act in August 2022. In the Mountain West, job creation by state is all over the map.

Phasing out fossil fuels requires a lot of clean energy infrastructure like solar farms. And one sun-soaked part of the Mountain West is grabbing a share of that green gold rush by retraining workers to handle the growth.
