When the sun goes down, solar panels stop working. UCSB chemists have developed a solution that doesn’t require bulky batteries or electrical grids. Grace Han's team created a new material that captures sunlight, stores it within chemical bonds and releases it as heat: https://ow.ly/c7BP50YfhgX
The team, led by @gracegdhan.bsky.social and PhD students @hanpqnguyen.bsky.social and Benjamin Baker, proved the stored energy was intense enough to boil water under ambient conditions without the need for electricity.

Researchers have created an organic molecule that stores a record amount of photon energy in its chemical bonds and releases it as heat on demand. cen.acs.org/energy/solar...

We've finally reached a major historical crossing point. Emerging energy (wind, solar, geothermal) is now inexpensive and profitable; old arguments against them now fall flat. While legacy energy (carbon) will remain for a long time, its use will steadily decline—first slowly and then very fast.

Chart showing Fervo Energy’s geothermal drilling performance improvements over time. The graph plots depth (0-15,000 feet) against days to reach total depth (0-70 days). Multiple drilling attempts are shown with lines progressing from oldest (darkest) to newest (lightest red). The Utah site shows older wells reaching approximately 14,000 feet in 20-25 days. The Nevada site shows more recent wells reaching approximately 12,000 feet in 60-70 days, with the newest attempts demonstrating significantly improved drilling speeds. Source: Fervo Energy.

Fervo Energy is speeding things up for Geothermal

“The International Energy Agency has revised its long-term forecast to suggest that the global potential of geothermal by 2050 is over 800gw, up from 15gw today. 2026 looks set to mark the start of the great geothermal renaissance.”

Area chart showing Northern Hemisphere sea ice extent in March from 1979 to present, measured in million square kilometers. The chart shows a clear declining trend from approximately 16.5 million square km in 1979 to around 14 million square km in recent years, with notable year-to-year variability throughout the period. The overall decline represents a loss of approximately 2.5 million square kilometers of spring sea ice coverage over roughly four decades.
Thought provoking infographics have so far been a regular feature of @bloomberg.com's Canada Daily newsletter. The 16 Dec '25 edition was no exception: a very clear picture of icy trends.

It is not surprising that China is good at making green tech. The thing which has really set it apart has been the sheer scale of its demand for electricity

The way in which China exploits its advantages makes the prospect of relying on it for anything valuable a frightening one. But the benefits for the world of its renewable-energy boom could be huge
China relies on coal for its ever-increasing electricity demand. To meet decarbonisation goals, the country requires not just the ability to do without coal. It needs to be sure that it wants to

It’s an exciting time for the EV battery crossover into decarbonized energy.
A colleague recently mentioned 2027 will be another big year for battery evolution. It’ll be premium at first, but as always, will trickle down to everyone else as economies of scale grow: www.pcmag.com/news/samsung...
NEW | As batteries become cheaper and more efficient, costs to store daytime solar are plummeting.
Outside China and the US, it now only costs an additional $33/MWh to transform daytime solar into dispatchable nighttime energy 🔋

Batteries are getting cheaper and allowing solar power to be used beyond daylight hours, according to a new analysis from clean energy think tank Ember
Australia now has so much solar power that the government will require utilities to sell customers free electricity for three hours per day.
Album cover featuring the four Beatles members walking in a line across orange and yellow radiating sunburst rays. The background shows a vibrant sun-ray pattern emanating outward. Text at the top reads ‘HERE COMES THE SUN’ in white letters and ‘THE BEATLES’ in black letters. The members are dressed in casual 1960s attire - one in denim, two in black suits, and one in a white suit.
