Bitcoin is often criticized for using up tons of energy. But its carbon footprint may not be that bad.
Three Mile Island, Chernobyl and Fukushima demonstrated the difficulty of managing a disaster at a nuclear power plant. What is the situation in France?
The carbon tax is an unpopular and deeply unequal measure. And Sweden, given as an example in this field, needs to be examined more closely.
South Africa’s new energy plan is set to be announced.
In a developed country like the UK, why can life expectancy within just a few miles differ by as much as 18 years?
Our energy supply underpins everything we do – so why is it exempt from the fair trade arguments used for food and clothing?
Big solar has a potentially bright future in cities, but we need to get the planning right first.
A recent study suggests that smart meters can help households reduce their electricity use by as much as 5%. Are France’s anti-Linky households listening?
Blockchains and AI could play a key role in the decentralised energy systems of the future.
