As the world grapples with the climate crisis and transition from fossil fuels to renewables, crops and clean energy are increasingly sharing the same land, and agrivoltaics — the growing of crops beneath the shade of solar panels — is expanding. Now, scientists are looking into how to harness the sun’s light spectrum in a […]
UK residents should not expect their gas and electric bills to return to pre-pandemic levels, the chief executive of one of Europe’s largest energy companies told the BBC in a widely reported interview. Speaking ahead of the World Economic Forum, which began Monday in Davos, Equinor leader Anders Opedal said that both the energy crisis […]
Two weeks of unrelenting rains in California have killed more people than have died directly from wildfires in the last two years — and the deluge is not over. At least 19 people have died across 10 counties. While officials expect that number to rise, it will also be incomplete. “Those living in our streets […]
One of the main challenges of the clean energy transition is sourcing the rare earth minerals needed to build things like electric vehicles (EVs) or wind turbines. That’s why Swedish mining company LKAB was excited to announce Thursday that it had found more than one million tonnes of rare earth oxides near the Arctic Swedish […]
Most U.S. residents could both save money and reduce their greenhouse gas emissions by switching to electric vehicles (EVs). However, the savings still wouldn’t reach the people who most need them without policy changes.
It’s no secret that the cost of fracked gas has skyrocketed. If you’re looking for ways to save money on energy costs this winter, turn to the sun. Solar ovens aren’t just a fun science project, but a legitimate way to cook outdoors, even during the coldest months. The average electric oven/stove contributes roughly $150 […]
Researchers at the University of Cambridge announced Monday that they had developed the first-ever solar-powered system that could convert two types of waste into two different chemicals at the same time, in this case, carbon dioxide and plastics.
Transportation is the economic sector that contributes the most to U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, making up 33 percent of the national total in 2019, according to figures from the Department of Transportation. But the Biden administration is determined to change that. On Tuesday, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Departments of Energy, Transportation […]
The future looks bright for the solar industry in the U.S., with average yearly growth predicted to be 21 percent from 2023 to 2027, thanks to the passage of last year’s Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), the Solar Energy Industries Association reported. Companies that make solar panel components are eligible to claim tax credits under the […]
