Huge survey shows more than 80% of British people support for solar, but just 18% want fracking.
When it comes to eliminating greenhouse gas emissions from transport, the future is already here on small islands.
A legacy in fossil fuels is likely to help even in the era of renewable energy.
Solar lights can help local governments drastically reduce their spending on electricity bills.
The vast desert could potentially produce more than seven times the electricity requirements of Europe, with almost no carbon emissions.
Energy storage could prove an inexpensive way for power companies to handle heat waves and other times when consumers use more electricity than usual.
Multiple studies have found the overall impact on labor markets to be minor, even if some workers will need new career paths.
Solar roadways have been promoted as a way to fight climate change, put people to work and make driving safer. But on closer inspection the reality is less than impressive.
