While floating solar—the emerging practice of putting solar panels on bodies of water—is promising in its efficiency and its potential to spare agricultural and conservation lands, a new experiment finds environmental trade-offs.

As one of her first moves in office, Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham in 2019 signed an executive order seeking to curb greenhouse gas emissions in New Mexico. Six years later, the state isn't on track to meet the order's first demand: 45% less greenhouse gas emissions by 2030,

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission wrote in its decision that the agency's current process of considering emissions impacts as individual projects

Cornell researchers have discovered a way for ammonia oxidizing archaea (AOA), one of the most abundant types of microorganisms on Earth, to produce nitrous oxide, a potent and long-lasting greenhouse gas.

At a Senate committee hearing on Wednesday, Donald Trump’s nominee to run the Environmental Protection Agency, Lee Zeldin, acknowledged climate change is “real” and that greenhouse gasses are making the planet hotter—but stopped short of saying the agency must regulate them.

On January 24, 2025, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or the Commission) issued an Order Terminating Proceeding in Docket No.

Building solar systems on the water reduces land use. However, floating PV also has its downsides – in the literal sense.

As the Earth absorbs more energy from the Sun and reflects less back into space, much of the excess heat is being funnelled into the oceans. This has caused the rise in sea surface temperature to jump from 0.06°C per decade in the 1980s to 0.27°C per decade now.

President-elect Trump is gearing up to support the oil and gas industry by directing agencies to unwind climate rules

According to Washington law, the state departments of Ecology and Commerce are required to report the state's total greenhouse gas emissions every two years.

Switzerland has set an ambitious goal to cut its greenhouse gas emissions by at least 65% by 2035, compared to 1990 levels.

On energy prices, the CSO said that households’ electricity bills have tripled since the peak of the Celtic Tiger in 2006
