Ever wanted to own your own wind farm? Well now you can.
Similar arrangements already support the National Park Service, the National Institutes of Health and other federal agencies.
Our research identified three key lessons.
Tesla founder Elon Musk has described hydrogen-powered cars as “mind-bogglingly stupid”. So is he right?
Can Europe’s response to the Covid-19 health crisis put its economy on a greener path? To help answer this question, the recent GEM Energy Barometer polled around 100 energy experts in France.
The US is gradually shifting to lower-carbon energy sources, but the COVID-19 pandemic, an oil price crash and a likely recession are big speed bumps.
New research shows how deeply entrenched “us” and “them” attitudes make it much harder to make a fair energy transition.
The world runs on energy, so finding low-emission alternatives to fossil fuels is crucial. Wind and solar are cheap and abundant but can’t do everything. But hydrogen fuel could complete the picture.
There’s still a long road ahead in the electric car revolution. But Australia can learn from New Zealand’s policies to boost electric car sales.
The UN’s climate change conference is coming to the UK this year, and former industrial powerhouse Glasgow is just the city to demonstrate its environmental commitment.
Long term climate targets are meaningless without concrete action. Here’s what the plans of the UK’s two biggest parties mean for the planet.
As the share of renewable energies in the energy mix rises, policymakers must understand how renewable energies can influence electricity prices.
The use of fossil fuels has to end and be replaced by sustainable energy as quickly as possible. The Paris Agreement was a good start but states continuing to work together is key.
The federal government claims that Australia’s rising emissions are offset by savings around the globe when Australian gas exports replace other fossil fuels. But the numbers don’t stack up like that.
Australia hasn’t done much planning to prepare for the shift away from coal. But it’s not too late to learn from international experiences.
The ‘thin green line’ of resistance against any new infrastructure for shipping oil, gas and coal abroad has won many battles.
Only a small share of the vehicles Americans buy are electric. Even if all of them were, it would take until 2040 to phase out the fossil fuels used to power personal travel and road-bound freight.
The UK has made huge progress in decarbonising its energy mix, but the hard work has just begun.
Natural gas supplies are growing, but so are other markets for it besides power generation.
