Developers planned 22 new utility-scale generation and storage projects in May 2026, representing 4,038 MW, approximately $6.1 billion in investment, 17,440 construction jobs, and 453 permanent jobs.
12 generation and storage projects were canceled in May, representing 3,488 MW of lost capacity, nearly $5.9 billion in abandoned investment, 18,103 lost construction jobs, and 199 lost operational jobs.
Year-to-date generation announcements remain ahead of cancellations: 84 projects and 17.3 GW have been announced, compared with 58 projects and 13.3 GW canceled or postponed.
From those figures, it seems like we would be moving to renewables close to twice as fast if Trmp wasn’t in power.
Fact is
renewables are cheaper than alternatives
provide 90% or more of annual installed capacity year after year
have 3 times the number of people working than fossil fuel
has been the fastest growing job sector for the last decade
and Trmp is doing his best to kill the whole industry.
Would be good if people pointed this out more often, maybe even incessantly.
