While some countries around the world try to figure out how to deploy more clean energy, one German state is planning on having enough renewables for exportation.

Producing as much renewable energy as it […]
Elon Musk’s alternate-energy aspirations don’t end with Tesla’s electric vehicles. Musk is also chairman of SolarCity, a firm responsible for three times the solar panel installations as its closest competitor.

Fresh off signing the nation’s first renewable energy freeze, Ohio Gov. John Kasich approved a biennial budget update that could further damage the state’s ability to harness electricity alternatives.

Ohio Gov. John Kasich said two years ago that he had “no doubt” that the renewable energy bill he signed would last 100 years.
