“Today, our operation is powered by our solar panels,” says Grey Sail Brewing founder and owner Jennifer Brinton, a big smile on her face.

Jennifer and her husband, Alan, founded Grey Sail Brewing, where they produce beer and malt beverages. They also manufacture spirits and canned cocktails.

Owning a brewery in Westerly, Rhode Island, has allowed them to play an active role in their community. So, when they began their solar journey in early 2023, they saw it as an opportunity to give back.

Musk is no stranger to controversy, but things have heightened since he joined the Trump White House. There have been protests at Tesla dealerships, and some Tesla owners are slapping anti-Elon bumper stickers on their vehicles. Meanwhile, both Tesla stock and vehicle sales are falling, and many analysts say one reason could be Musk’s political activities deterring customers. A prominent investor is now calling for him to step down, saying the business is “in a crisis.”

If you’ve ever driven along the highway and passed a large field of solar panels, you’ve probably seen a solar farm. There can be hundreds or even thousands of panels in these energy powerhouses. 

Solar farms aren't the same as residential or commercial solar installations. Instead of directly using the electricity they generate onsite, solar farms send it to the grid. From there, the utility distributes that energy to all of its customers, providing communities with a sustainable source of power that reduces reliance on fossil fuels.

But some scientists claim that solar farms take up too much already scarce land. So, do these solar farms do more harm than good?

We’ve just wrapped up awards season in Hollywood. The season's biggest snub? Clean energy. Actually, it gets snubbed every year—there’s hardly any organic mention of clean energy or sustainability in mainstream movies or TV shows, even though it’s becoming more popular in real life.

More House Republicans came forward this week to express their support for preserving Biden-era clean energy tax credits, which are at risk of being cut as the GOP budget plan moves through Congress.

In a letter earlier this week, 21 Republican lawmakers expressed their concern over a potential repeal of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) tax incentives, citing disruptions to clean energy production and investments in their districts.
