Extended blackouts are reshaping daily life across Cuba as fuel shortages constrain electricity generation and expose the fragility of an import-dependent grid.

A 30 million dollar bridge loan acquisition facility now supports the transfer of the 16MW wind and 6MW storage project of Philippines Hybrid Energy Systems Inc to Verdant Energy.
In Washington, the scaffolding of federal climate regulation did not collapse in a single vote. It was dismantled at its base. The Trump administration has formally repealed the 2009 “endangerment finding,” the scientific determination that greenhouse gas emissions threaten public health. With it, the Environmental Protection Agency eliminated federal tailpipe
The world’s largest pool of capital is looking for a place to park its energy.
