A big roadblock to offshore wind power is getting approval for onshore transmission lines. But what if there were fewer connection points, and power could flow both ways? Plans are underway.
Some processes that support fusion energy fuel climate change and may harm the environment.
Offshore wind power can play a starring role in Australia’s future energy mix. It sure beats nuclear and coal, offering advantages in scale, availability and proximity to both users and the grid.
Rapidly reaching net-zero is vital to avoiding the worst ravages of climate change. But doing so in a way that damages nature is self-defeating.
Two new wind farms began producing power in 2024, but several canceled contracts have left a dark cloud over the industry. A wind power expert explains why US offshore wind has been slow to scale up.
AI needs careful monitoring and the right policies to ensure it can benefit the fight against climate change.
We’re getting faster at building renewables – but we’ll have to speed up even more to reach our 2030 target of 82% clean energy
This year, China has built renewables at a truly staggering pace. But can its tech-first approach actually cut emissions – and find common ground at COP28?
A recent study focusing on how offshore wind farms in Massachusetts waters could affect endangered right whales does not call for slowing the projects, but says monitoring will be critical.
Of all Australia’s climate policies, the Renewable Energy Target has been the most effective. Why have Australian governments moved away from it, and how can they revive it?
The government wants offshore wind to form the backbone of the UK’s future electricity system – but a key auction has delivered no new projects.
The demand for the minerals needed to build clean energy technology currently exceeds the available supply. If this issue continues, governments may find it hard to reach their clean energy targets.
Australia’s renewable energy transformation will require a huge amount of energy storage. We need Snowy 2.0 to succeed.
Market volatility and rising development costs have led to an increase in the risk premium in recent years.
California is one of the world’s largest economies, and it’s aiming for net-zero emissions by 2045. A transportation expert involved in the plan explains why it just might succeed.
The good news is the world’s coal use has peaked – and will soon rapidly decline. Australia is leading the way, and the rest of the world must soon follow.
Some of the most powerful offshore wind is over water too deep for a standard wind turbine. Engineers found a way around the problem.
Saying that the climate problem is complex is false, and a distraction from what we know needs to be done.
To put the $370 billion in subsidies to work, the US needs to build new infrastructure and manage a lot of regulatory hurdles.
