Renewable energy projects and public interest in them are both on the rise. WeatherPower shows your audience how much wind and solar energy is already being generated in their communities.
To brush up on your knowledge of wind and solar energy, we’ve added a ‘Wind and Solar Power 101’ guide, which provides an overview of how these technologies work and why they matter.
Solutions Journalism Network joins us this week, reviewing their four-step process that serves as a guide for journalists covering responses to the world’s biggest issues, such as climate change.

A new Solutions Brief by Climate Central explains the growth of solar and dives into projections of how much more solar is needed to reach net zero emissions. Look for more Climate Central solutions issue briefs in the upcoming months.
