Learnewable has published the first results of its Learnewable Sentiment Index, a monthly, county-level indicator tracking community sentiment and permitting conditions for onshore wind, solar and battery energy storage systems across the USA. The initial index cycle covers the period from December 2025 to January 2026 and shows that conditions became more challenging across all three technologies. Onshore wind recorded the strongest decline, with the index falling by 29 % month on month. The average onshore wind score for the period stood at –0.27, indicating increased difficulty in community acceptance and permitting environments.

Methods used to calculate the potential impacts of offshore wind farms on seabird populations may be substantially overestimating likely effects, according to a report published by the Scottish Offshore Wind Energy Council. All offshore wind projects are required to carry out ornithological environmental impact assessments as part of the consenting process. These assessments examine how proposed developments could affect seabirds, including potential habitat loss, disturbance and collision risk. The results are used to determine whether projects should provide compensation, such as habitat improvements or measures to increase breeding seabird populations.
