A Tesla Model Y owner decided to build his own solar roof that can add over 20 miles of range to the electric SUV per day. Tesla, like many other automakers, had previously explored adding solar to electric vehicles, but it has never pulled the trigger on the feature. It led to a surprise announcement.

New investment in wind, solar, and other clean energy projects in developing nations dropped sharply in 2018, largely due to a slowdown in China. This is due to wind and solar projects generating only when natural resources are available while oil, coal, and gas plants can potentially produce around the clock.
