According to a new report from the International Energy Agency (IEA), the worldwide demand for oil is poised to dry up in the coming years. Supply concerns triggered by the global energy crisis, along with high fuel prices, have sped up the shift to renewables, a press release from the IEA said. According to the […]
Much of the coverage of environmental policy focuses on the actions of countries, states or major cities like New York or Paris. But a community doesn’t have to be large to make a difference for the planet or their local ecosystems. Here are seven of the U.S.’s greenest small towns and cities. Ithaca, New York […]
A new report from the International Energy Agency (IEA) shows that renewable power capacity additions are set to rise by a third globally this year, with wind and solar photovoltaic (PV) leading the way. Prompted by the worldwide energy crisis, it will be the largest yearly increase ever. According to the report, concerns about energy […]
Beginning this July, vehicle shoppers in Colorado will get a major incentive to buy an EV or hybrid, as the state is increasing its EV tax credits from the $2,000 current maximum up to $5,000. These incentives are available in addition to federal tax credits for those that meet the qualifications. Earlier in May 2023, […]
In a discovery by researchers from Leiden University in the Netherlands, offshore wind turbines have become a haven for benthos — the community of marine organisms that live in, on or around the seafloor. There are more soil animals per square meter living in the foundations of offshore wind farms than on the floor of […]
A new report from the International Energy Agency (IEA) says that investment in clean energy is “significantly outpacing” fossil fuel spending and will surpass it this year, with solar projects expected to exceed oil production expenditures for the first time. According to the World Energy Investment report, the global energy crisis that followed Russia’s invasion […]
The U.S. and Canada have announced the Binational Electric Vehicle (EV) Corridor, a network of charging stations, including DC fast-chargers, from Kalamazoo, Michigan to Quebec City, Quebec to help travelers going between the two countries. The corridor will feature charging stations about every 50 miles (80 kilometers), according to the U.S. Department of Transportation. The […]
Scientists at Argonne National Laboratory and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have developed a new electrolyte for lithium-ion batteries. The safer electrolyte can work just as well in sub-zero temperatures as it does around room temperature, or 68 to 77 degrees Fahrenheit. Lithium-ion batteries have a liquid electrolyte, which is important for carrying ions through the […]
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has released a wide-ranging new proposal for limits on greenhouse gas emissions from coal– and gas-fired power plants. If finalized, the new rule will be the first time the federal government has restricted carbon dioxide emissions from existing power plants, which generate about a quarter of the country’s emissions.
