About

Thomas Egan is the editor and founder of CleanPowerDaily, a daily news publication covering the United States clean energy transition. The site provides editorial coverage of utility-scale solar, wind, battery storage, grid infrastructure, and the policies shaping America's energy future.

Editorial approach

CleanPowerDaily publishes a daily morning briefing summarizing the most significant clean energy developments, a weekly opposition roundup tracking community pushback on energy projects, and original analysis pieces on the politics, economics, and technology of the energy transition.

Daily briefings and weekly roundups are drafted with AI assistance to synthesize wire reporting and primary sources, then reviewed and edited by Thomas Egan before publication. Original analysis pieces are written and edited by Thomas Egan. Every published article reflects editorial judgment about what is significant, accurate, and worth a reader's time.

The publication does not take advocacy positions on whether specific clean energy projects should or should not be built. It reports community concerns with the same rigor it applies to developer claims, and reports developer claims with the same rigor it applies to community concerns.
