The Changes Signal a Clear Turning Point in U.S. Energy Policy, with the Trump Administration Resuming Prioritization of Oil Exploration Over Renewable Energy.

The Trump administration began the process to revoke a regulation from the Biden administration that reduced fees charged for renewable energy projects on public lands. At the same time, it announced measures to expedite oil and gas exploration leases.

End of Incentives for Renewable Energy on Public Lands

The U.S. Department of the Interior revealed on Tuesday (13) plans to annul a rule implemented by Joe Biden in 2024 that cut fees charged for renewable energy projects installed on federal lands by about 80%.

The rule aimed to attract investments to the sector and facilitate developers’ access to clean energy infrastructure.

In addition to reviewing fees for renewable energy, the Trump administration also proposed updating a rule aimed at oil and gas exploration.

The intention is to streamline the leasing process for public lands, promoting auctions more quickly and with less bureaucracy.

“Under President Trump’s leadership, we are ending delays and bureaucratic hurdles that have long hindered the expansion of American energy production,” said Adam Suess, Acting Assistant Secretary for Land and Minerals Management.

This initiative is part of a broader package of measures aimed at U.S. energy security and reducing energy costs, prioritizing traditional sources like oil and natural gas.

Engineers want to carve through Africa with a giant canal to bring water from the world’s second-largest river to a dying lake on the edge of the Sahara Desert that has already lost 90% of its water.

A giant brown band visible from space, approximately 8,850 kilometers long, connected Africa to America in the Atlantic Ocean, and satellites revealed that it is neither land nor pollution, but the largest accumulation of seaweed in the world, which broke records in 2025.

Instead of burning or burying old tires, an American city is transforming about 2,000 of them into the street itself, paving its first sections with a quieter and more durable rubber asphalt.

In just one cast, fishermen are surprised to capture 14,096 mullets in Bombinhas and close a historic season with 58,000 fish; scene recorded in the Santa Catarina paradise marks the last day of the 2026 season.

10 giant tortoises are reintroduced and, in just 6 months, trigger changes that lead scientists to investigate a phenomenon absent for 180 years; the numbers recorded on the island impress researchers from around the world.

Greek island offers free housing for volunteers, but there’s a condition: you need to take care of rescued cats.

Motorcyclist sees excavator arriving at the edge of a river in Bosnia, calls neighbors in minutes and turns a hydroelectric project into a resistance lasting more than 10 years with five expired concessions.

A former SpaceX engineer left rockets to reinvent home construction and founded a startup that manufactures wall panels from a grass that grows about 15 centimeters per day.

He transformed an abandoned plastic water tank into an underground house in the “hobbit hole” style, using only repurposed pallet wood, without heavy machinery or expensive labor.

How much does it cost to install gutters in a house in 2026? See the average costs of materials, labor, and the most common extra expenses that may arise during installation.

The United States government approved a potential sale of 100 portable Stinger anti-aircraft missiles to the Brazilian Army, in a package estimated at around 330 million dollars that still depends on negotiations between the two countries.

Cheaper than Fiat Pulse, Renault Kardian, and Volkswagen Tera: with a 2.0 turbo engine of 190 hp, 30.6 kgfm torque, automatic transmission, and Swedish safety package, this premium hatch delivers sports car performance at the price of a new compact: meet the Volvo V40 T4 Momentum 2017.

The world has bet on green hydrogen as the fuel of the future, but now faces the side effect: producing 1 kilogram requires about 9 liters of ultrapure water, and the largest projects on the planet are precisely in the driest regions of the Earth, where water is already scarce for people.

Africa has about 500,000 cell towers and most still burn diesel to operate, while companies rush to cover antennas with solar energy and avoid signal blackouts.

Farmers swapped diesel for solar panels in Pakistan, powered irrigation pumps almost cost-free, expanded rice fields, and now groundwater has become a red alert in the countryside.

Migrant workers left the world’s largest renewable energy park in India after extreme heat, 12-hour shifts, delayed wages, and poor accommodations at a site that still promises to supply 18 million homes.

Taiwanese fishermen accepted offshore wind turbines in the name of clean energy, but now they say that old routes have disappeared, fish have decreased, and income has become uncertain on the coast.
