The Kentucky Center for Investigative Reporting analyzed a federal dataset to find the industrial facilities that directly released the most greenhouse gases in Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Missouri, Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennessee and West Virginia.

More than two-thirds of the facilities are power plants and most — more than 70% — burn coal to make electricity, while more than a third use natural gas.

🌞 short version:

"Germany deploys 16.2 GW of PV in 2024"

Why and for whom? For anyone interested in concrete figures - here are the figures for Germany for the year 2024 (just for a helpful comparison and to make Europe even less dependent on fossil fuels in the future):

🌞 here comes the longer version:

"At 16.2 gigawatts, the expansion of solar capacity in 2024 was again slightly higher than in the previous year. ... At the end of 2024, the total installed solar capacity in Germany was 99.3 gigawatts."

Overview for DE:

"The installed output of renewable energy systems rose by almost 20 gigawatts to a total output of just under 190 gigawatts. Compared to the previous year, this corresponds to an increase of 12 per cent. The main contributors to this development are solar and wind energy."

Lots of buzz around bundling loads & clean energy on a single interconnection, spurred by price-insensitive, location-agnostic datacenters. But also as a hack to avoid grid limitations. Like this @EnergyInnovLLC paper that was highlighted on Volts:

A state report last year found investor-owned Kentucky Power, a subsidiary of Ohio-based American Electric Power (AEP), had the highest average monthly residential utility bills of all Kentucky utilities at $187 a month.

Kentucky Attorney General Russell Coleman and an industry group are asking the state’s utility regulator to approve a settlement with Kentucky Power that would return nearly $17 million to ratepayers.
