The energy required to power the massive, factory-sized data centres that computers rely on already consumes 5% of global electricity. And that energy load is doubling every decade.
Making the transition to a sustainable energy future also means ensuring that affected communities - such as Australia’s coal workers - aren’t left by the wayside.
The UK’s “illegal” backup power subsidy scheme effectively subsidised fossil fuel power generation. Lets use the hiatus to build a more flexible, low carbon energy system.
Michelle Grattan speaks with Deep Saini about the week in Australian politics.
Labor’s promise to subsidise batteries for households quickly became, in government parlance, “pink batts to pink batteries” – seeking to trigger memories of Rudd’s policy that cost several lives.
The ALP estimates the battery subsidy would triple the number of battery systems in Australian households. The policy sets a national target of one million household battery installations by 2025.
It is possible to both tax carbon emissions and enrich households. A report to be released by UNSW today outlines how.
Even the Voyager spacecraft are controlled remotely, 20 billion kilometres away. It takes 20 hours for instructions to travel from Earth to the spacecraft but we can do it – using a remote.
A new poll reveals many Australians want to cut their electricity bills - but many also want to reduce emissions.
Research shows that when Americans are aware of the scale of food waste, and how much energy and water are used to produce food, they support measures to reduce the problem.
Video feedback may be the nearest we have to visualising what conscious processing in the brain is like.
Ahead of two state elections, the Grattan Institute Orange Book examines the state of each state and how each can do things better. The good news is that if each copied the best in each field they would do very well indeed.
In the wake of the Paris Climate Agreement, France has committed to cutting achieving carbon neutrality for its building stock by 2050. While the goal is ambitious, the challenges are significant.
Canada’s proposed new environmental assessment law is facing heated, if not necessarily well-informed, opposition. The real question is whether it goes far enough.
William Nordhaus showed that the market offers the best chance for preventing global catastrophe form climate change.
Low level carbon monoxide poisoning leads to a wide range of nonspecific but significant symptoms – making it very difficult to detect.
We take salt water for granted, and often overlook how important it is for our own lives and in sustaining a healthy planet.
‘Energy security’ isn’t just about cheaper bills. We urgently need to design a modern, safe Australian grid.
Encouraging people to buy LED bulbs is not a long-term solution. We need lighting which is kind to the planet and our health.
