The Environmental Protection Agency's Clean Energy Supply Programs are voluntary programs helping to increase the use of renewable-sourced power and CHP systems among leading U.S. organisations. Programs include:

Green Power Partnership and Combined Heat and

Power (CHP) Partnership.

Green power is electricity produced from a subset of renewable resources, such as solar, wind, geothermal, biomass, and low-impact hydro. Organizations are encouraged to purchase green power as a way to reduce the environmental impacts associated with conventional electricity use. The Green Power Partnership offers expert advice, technical support, tools and resources in return for organisation signing an agreement to purchase green power that meets or exceed Partnership benchmarks. The more than 1,200 organisations on the current partner list are collectively buying more than 17 billion kWh of green power annually, equivalent to the annual carbon dioxide emissions from electricity use of more than 1.4 million average American homes.

The CHP Partnership works closely with energy users, energy service companies, the CHP industry (manufacturers, consultants, and project developers), state and local governments, federal agencies, private organizations, and other stakeholders to support the development of new projects and promote their energy, environmental, and economic benefits. The CHP Partnership encourages implementation of clean energy technologies by providing information, connections to technology providers, and government-branded recognition to participants. For example, the Partnership maintains the CHP Partnership Funding Database which tracks federal and state CHP and biomass fiical incentives as well as regulations that remove unintended barriers to CHP or biomass project development such as standardised interconnection rules, net metering rules, or output-based regulations. Through 2009, the CHP Partnership has helped install more than 460 CHP projects, representing 4,850 megawatts (MW) of capacity.

Forget Critical Metals, Electricity is The Real Bottleneck for AI

The U.S. dollar is cracking—and the market knows it. After years of monetary excess, swelling deficits, and policy uncertainty, the world’s reserve currency is losing its grip as a store of value. Capital is fleeing paper promises and piling into hard assets at a pace not seen in decades. Nowhere is this more visible than in precious metals: Gold has surged to above $4,100 per ounce, silver has ripped past $70, and palladium—once written off—has clawed its way back to $1,350. Add an unstable geopolitical backdrop stretching…

Europe Has Entered The Nuclear Golden Age Amid AI Boom

Nuclear power is experiencing a massive revival across Europe, with the regulatory environment shifting decisively in its favor thanks to surging electricity demand from the AI and data center boom, climate goals, volatile global energy markets and the urgent need for structural energy independence. It’s a big wishlist, and nuclear may be the fastest way to realize it. Massive power demand by the tech giants and hyperscalers is exceeding traditional grid capacities in Europe and the United States. AI data centers require huge amounts of baseload…

First Oil Sands Project in 10 Years Starts Production

The first new oil sands project in Alberta since 2014 has started commercial production, aiming for a daily average of 80,000 barrels once it ramps up. The Blackrod project, led by International Petroleum Corp., moved to the first phase of production despite the peak oil demand narrative that has dominated the past decade, especially in Canada. Canadian oil sands have been in the focus of transition attention as especially energy-intensive, meaning emission-intensive, and as a high-cost way of extracting crude oil from the ground. Under activist…

Court Ruling Deals Major Blow to Trump's War on Wind Power

Donald Trump has been battling wind turbines in the court of public opinion and in actual court for over a decade now. Trump has railed about “windmills” repeatedly over the course of his presidential term and campaign trails, calling the technology “so pathetic and so bad” before proudly declaring that no wind power will be approved on his watch. “I can proudly say [...] that we have not approved one windmill since I’ve been in office. And we’re going to keep it that way. My goal is to not let any windmill…
