Natural gas projects in Africa might help reduce supply shortages temporarily, but they could soon become stranded assets.
COP27 has given countries and organizations yet another chance to push for a managed decline in fossil fuel production. A climate action banner hangs from the Tower bridge in London in April 2022.

Jobs in the clean energy industry are expected to grow thanks to a historic federal investment in fighting climate change. Many of the jobs have low barriers to entry, an expert says.
More wind turbines can increase renewable energy, but transmission lines are crucial, too.
