Europe’s power mix hit a tipping point in 2025. Wind and solar generated more electricity across the European Union than fossil fuels for the first time last year, according to Ember’s newly released European Electricity Review. Wind and solar supplied a record 30% of EU power, edging past fossil fuels at 29%.
With data centers projected to consume as much as 12% of total US electricity by 2028, Noon Energy says it has hit a key milestone: successfully operating a scaled-up, ultra-long-duration energy storage system for thousands of hours, capable of delivering clean power continuously for more than 100 hours at a time.

As a result, installed utility-scale solar capacity now exceeds wind capacity for the first time, according to data released by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and reviewed by the SUN DAY Campaign.
Tesla has published a new patent that describes a way to squeeze more performance out of its aging HW3 self-driving computers. While the technology is interesting, nothing points to it actually enabling Tesla to deliver on its long-standing promise of unsupervised self-driving on HW3 vehicles.
In 2016, Tesla announced that all vehicles produced thereafter would become capable of “Full Self-Driving” — at one point, CEO Elon Musk even specified “level 5 self-driving,” which means capable of driving anywhere, anytime, under any condition.
We are approaching a decade since that promise, and it’s nowhere close to being fulfilled.
In fact, it looks like Tesla is doing everything it can to not fulfill its promise to HW3 owners.
