Electricity consumption will grow as more people switch to electric cars – but this could drive up emissions, unless power is sourced from renewables.
A year ago, Doug Ford’s election was seen as a harbinger of a populist realignment in Ontario and Canadian politics. Now polls suggest Ford has abysmally low personal approval ratings.
South Africa could become a test bed of technologies that enable households, especially in remote areas, to join electricity trading markets.
Almost 80 million Nigerians do not have access to electricity and its erratic supply is costing the economy an estimated $29 billion annually. Nigeria’s abundant sunlight could be the solution.
Solar and wind can’t deliver power on demand. But overbuilding solar and wind, and simply dumping unneeded energy, would go a long way to smoothing out those bumps, study finds.
When it comes to eliminating greenhouse gas emissions from transport, the future is already here on small islands.
Japan’s global influence has waned in recent years. Showing that renewables can decouple emissions from economic success could help the country find its niche and spark a race to power the Earth.
Transitioning to renewable energy will cost us something, but the benefits far outweigh the price.
Ten years on from the MPs expenses scandal, there remains in Westminster a lingering culture of elitism and a ‘we know best attitude’.
The current system drives social injustice and environmental destruction, a new approach to address both is called for.
A new federal program aims to reduce diesel-dependency in remote Indigenous communities. But are these communities able to do this on their own terms?
More electric vehicles and renewable energy means more mining for resources. Unless industry adopts cleaner habits urgently, the environment faces more damage.
A rapid transition from fossil fuels is possible by targeting the ‘tipping points’ in our political and economic systems.

South Africa isn’t having an honest debate about proposals to fix its power utility Eskom, and the role that renewables might play.
Small-scale renewable energy projects can power rural areas not connected to the main grid. But investors may hesitate if future electrification remains unpredictable.
