America is slipping behind India's clean power boom
Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Once upon a time, the US was the sole clean energy superpower . Until 2011, it led the world in connecting wind and solar generators to the grid. Then China took over, to a point where its lead now looks unassailable: The People's Republic added eight times more renewables than the US last year. This year, India is likely to overtake country connected 22 gigawatts of wind and solar in the first half — a dramatic recovery from a troubling slowdown in 2022 and 2023, and enough at full output to power nearly one-tenth of the grid. Assuming this is maintained through December, that should put India ahead of the 40 GW that the US government expects this also setting the world's most populous nation on course to hit a target of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's that once seemed implausible: to reach 500 GW of non-fossil generation by 2030. Such a shift will herald the dawn of a new clean energy superpower, and give the world some of its best hopes of averting disastrous climate a remarkable turnaround for a country whose renewable industry looked like a lost cause barely more than a year ago. What happened?One factor is financing. Easing inflation has allowed the Reserve Bank of India to cut its policy rate by a percentage point since December to the lowest in three years. This reduces the price of renewables, which are particularly exposed to debt costs. Regulatory deadlines have also played a role: A waiver on transmission charges for wind and solar expired at the end of last month, causing developers to rush to complete their builds in time to get the financial end of that waiver may cause a wobble for the sector over the next year or so, but the changes will be introduced slowly. Over the balance of the decade there's now good reason to think the recent pace can be sustained. The rash of projects breaking ground this past year means about 414 GW of clean power is already either operating or under construction, including nuclear and hydroelectric plants. That's not far off the 500 GW target, and we've still got more than five years to are counting on it. Solar panel manufacturing has been ramping up to the point where it now runs far in excess of domestic demand, at 91 GW. With lower tariffs into the US than their rivals in China and Southeast Asia, this excess of supply might make local panel makers rare beneficiaries of President Donald Trump's war on clean energy. That certainly seems to be the assumption of a group of US competitors, who last week sought anti-dumping measures to keep Indian products out of their many years, India had a skeptical take on the energy transition, arguing since the 1970s that poverty was a more pressing problem than protecting the environment. The difference now is that zero-carbon power is decisively cheaper than the competition. Rising incomes, meanwhile, mean the government needs to also think about the needs of roughly half a billion middle-class citizens, who worry more about where to find a good job in a clean, livable city than the basics of subsistence is still building coal-fired power plants to make sure those newly-minted urbanites don't suffer power cuts in the middle of punishing heatwaves, but they're not necessarily being used. Thanks to milder weather than in recent years and the rising volumes of renewables pushing it off the grid, fossil-fired power generation fell 4% in the first half relative to 2024. That's the first time it has dropped since the Covid-19 pandemic hit in 2020, and occurred even as electricity generation rose 0.8%. Retirements of old plants mean that fossil-generation capacity has actually declined slightly so far this still possible that emissions from India's power sector won't peak until well into the 2030s. Even so, the faster rollout of renewables, combined with declining pollution from China and the rich world, means the global picture is improving faster than you'd realize if you were focused only on the steampunk posturing in power isn't just cleaner — it's cheaper, and more suited to the aspirations of the billions in the Global South who want a better, healthier nations like the US can afford the indulgence of a campaign against modern energy, at least until their citizens realize how badly they're being shortchanged. It's a fatal myopia, though. For all Trump likes to boast of energy dominance, America is falling behind on the most important energy technologies of the 21st century.

Jessica Alba-Danny Ramirez dating? Who is he, what we know about their relationship
Jessica Alba seems to be enjoying single life, though that may not remain true for the actor for much longer! She has been spotted with Danny Ramirez on quite a few occasions, sending tongues wagging in Hollywood circles. Earlier in July 2025, news surfaced that Jessica Alba had traveled to Cancun with Danny Ramirez.(AFP) The Trigger Warning actor is getting out of a marriage that lasted almost two decades. Alba filed for divorce from Cash Warren on February 7, this year, and the two had tied the knot back in May 2008. The 44-year-old has three children with Warren – daughters Honor and Haven, and son Hayes. Alba was recently seen in a car with Ramirez after a dinner outing in Los Angeles, with the actor sporting a black top, and her companion going for a light-wash denim jacket with a gray baseball cap. Who is Danny Ramirez? Danny Ramirez, 32, is an American actor who plays Joaquin Torres or Falcon in the Marvel Cinematic Universe movie Captain America: Brave New World. He essays the same role in the Disney+ series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Ramirez has also appeared in Top Gun: Maverick and HBO's The Last of Us. Interestingly, Alba too played a Marvel character, when she was seen as Sue Storm or Invisible Woman in Fantastic Four, but at that time, the franchise was not with Disney. Are Jessica Alba and Danny Ramirez dating? Alba and Ramirez's many outings would seem to suggest that the two are dating. Apart from the People report that they were spotted after dinner in a car together, TMZ also reported that Alba was seen kissing Ramirez outside his Los Angeles home. Earlier this month, a source had told People things were 'very new' between the two and 'they're having a good time together.' TMZ also reported that Alba had gone to Cancun with Ramirez, and at the time, a source close to the actor said 'She's been getting a lot of attention since the divorce.' 'She's flattered and definitely enjoying being single again, She's gone on some dates, but it's nothing serious — she's focused on herself and her kids. She's not interested in a relationship right now," the source added. Despite what the source is saying, TMZ obtained video also which showed Alba and Ramirez carrying a massive potted orchid plant, which has raised questions of whether the two are interior decorating together, perhaps signaling a new step in the relationship. On the work front, Alba will star alongside Orlando Bloom, for a thriller titled The Mark, which will begin filming in Australia this month.
