The orange juice industry throws away a half of the fruit needed to make juice. Could this be used as an alternative to chemicals derived from crude oil?
South Africa is seismically stable and should consider mining geothermal plants to solve its energy crisis.
New funding for large-scale solar could be backing a winner, but only with the right leadership.
Heating your home using electricity is not just cheaper, it’s more efficient and can be considered renewable.
Australia’s failure to lead on climate action marks a stark shift in political priorities in the past decade. The government is all about immediate economic returns whatever the long-term costs.
Not all ecovillages are created equal - but the best ones show us how to live more sustainably, by embracing collectivism, sourcing renewable energy, and moving away from prevailing consumer culture.
Poor Americans suffer disproportionately from higher energy prices. Energy policies should fund innovation to make low-carbon energy cheaper.
Given existing technologies, expanding access to electricity almost always increases CO2 emissions. There are real trade-offs between addressing poverty and climate change.
Innovative ideas about how to decarbonise shipping are helping to harness the original renewable power source once more.
Hillary Clinton’s renewable energy plan is ambitious but, on a technical level, doable. Would it foster more solar technology innovation?
Victoria’s solar will soon get a mere 5 cents for power they send to the grid. But is that a fair price?

Labor’s proposal for 50% renewables demonstrates in spades how poisonous climate change politics has trumped good policy.
If Bill Shorten and his climate spokesman Mark Butler can’t sell Labor’s proposal for Australia to have 50% of its electricity provided by renewable energy by 2030, they should probably vacate the political…
Labor’s plan to deliver 50% renewable energy by 2050 could add between $160 and $264 to annual household power bills. But this could be completely offset by better policies to encourage energy efficiency.
A year after the demise of the carbon tax, we might expect both coal and greenhouse emissions to have bounced back, at the expense of renewables like hydroelectricity. Sure enough, that’s what happened.
