By Jon Queally A new analysis released Monday details why nations across Africa would be wise to set their sights on massive investments in renewable solar energy and avoid the pitfalls of the so-called “Dash for Gas” paradigm that would staddle economies with stranded assets, waste billions in costly fossil fuel infrastructure, and increase financial […]
In a backwards move indicative of the world’s fitful transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy, a wind farm in western Germany is being dismantled in order to make way for the expansion of an open-pit coal mine. The expansion of the lignite mine underscores Europe’s energy crisis, as energy security has sometimes taken precedence […]
Currently, if you want to take advantage of renewable energy, installing solar panels on your home is your best option. However, soon there may be a new game in town. The company Aeromine Technologies has developed a rooftop wind device called the Aeromine. “This is a game-changer adding new value to the fast-growing rooftop power […]
The energy crisis has some companies and politicians calling for an increase in fossil fuel exploration, but new data shows that this solution is unnecessary as well as detrimental to avoiding the worst impacts of the climate crisis.
A rapid transition away from a fossil-fuel based energy system to a renewable-dependent one would actually save the world trillions of dollars by 2050.
Since the passage of the Democrats’ Inflation Reduction Act — which provides $369 billion for climate and energy spending, including renewable energy incentives and programs to reduce pollution and address the disproportionate harms to disadvantaged communities due to climate change — many corporations have announced plans for costly clean energy projects, reported The New York […]
By Michael E. Webber and Hugh Daigle With passage of the Inflation Reduction Act, which contains $370 billion for climate and energy programs, policy experts are forecasting a big expansion in clean electricity generation. One source that’s poised for growth is offshore wind power. Today the U.S. has just two operating offshore wind farms, off […]
History was made Tuesday afternoon when President Joe Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act — a landmark bill focused on climate, health care and tax breaks.
On Wednesday, Senate Democrats announced a surprise agreement on a $369 billion climate and tax package. If enacted, the legislation would be the biggest climate change action to-date, putting the U.S. on a path to cut emissions 31% to 44% below 2005 levels in 2030.
