renewable energy

California just took a major step toward reshaping how electricity moves across the Western U.S. It’s a change that could transform the region’s power grid and boost clean energy.

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.

President Donald Trump’s “One Big, Beautiful Bill Act” phases out tax credits for clean energy projects, slowing the addition of new power to the grid. Experts predict it could drive up energy costs, especially in parts of the Mountain West.

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.

There’s a whole bunch of energy right below people’s feet in many Western states. And it doesn’t release any pollution into the air. But only a small fraction of it is being used for electricity. That could change, however, as the geothermal industry looks to expand.

A new report shows U.S. companies and consumers are spending more than ever on clean energy, such as solar, wind, and electric vehicles. And a lot of clean investment is happening in the Mountain West.

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.

Many Americans are trying to lower their energy bill – and carbon footprint– by turning to rooftop solar panels. A new report shows where in the U.S. it makes the most financial sense to go solar.
