YaleEnvironment360: A Year of Clean Energy Milestones.

In spite of the Trump administration’s worst intentions at home and policy bullying abroad, there is good news to be found around the transition to cleaner energy. From The Yale School of Environment’s 2025 review:

“Wind, solar, and electric vehicles made huge strides globally in 2025. For the first time, wind and solar supplied more power than coal worldwide, while plug-in vehicles accounted for more than a quarter of new car sales.

These milestones reflect the dramatic drop in the price of clean energy over the last decade and a half. Today, wind and solar are cheaper than coal and natural gas, and increasingly, they are boosted by ever more affordable batteries, which have gotten 90 percent cheaper over the last decade.”
