The skyrocketing cost of fire insurance foreshadows a larger confrontation over so-called managed retreat. If America wants to fight climate change—or enjoy the benefits of a modern economy—it must get much better at building electricity transmission. Yikes. A terrible thing happened to me recently. I started to care about electricity-transmission policy. In energy circles, the... Continue Reading →
Key Points Swedish energy firm Vattenfall has been given a permit to build the project in the Netherlands. The idea of deploying solar panels on farmland has been around for many years. Swedish energy firm Vattenfall has been given a permit to build a project in the Netherlands that plans to combine solar power with... Continue Reading →

“Instead of funding non-polluting alternatives, it throws public money at expensive, unproven technologies that will allow the fossil fuel industry to continue poisoning frontline communities and trashing the planet." Public and environmental health advocates on Tuesday denounced Sen. Joe Manchin's Energy Infrastructure Act of 2021, calling the bill, which proposes spending 70 times more on... Continue Reading →
Manchin’s Energy Bill Condemned as ‘Kick in the Gut to Climate Justice’
A new report has found that President Biden’s clean energy plan could be one of the most effective climate policies ever passed, drastically reducing carbon emissions and saving hundreds of thousands of human lives in the process. Experts say that the plan, which National Climate Adviser Gina McCarthy has said will include new clean electricity standards (CES) and clean energy... Continue Reading →

Global decarbonisation : Lies, damn lies, and statistics?
Decarbonisation is the only way out of our climate emergency. The quicker we do it the less damage we will incur. But just about every mainstream agency and organisation around the world is advising policymakers not to move too quickly away from fossil fuels for fear of disrupting economies and societies. The real world statistics... Continue Reading →
Future of Blade-less Wind Turbines – Solid State Wind!
For Decades the wind turbine has been at the center of renewable energy generation. But the future of blade-less wind turbines is interesting, as it is poised to decentralized wind energy production. So what does solid state wind turbines look like, and what impact will they have? Video Source!
THE FUTURE OF SOLID STATE WIND ENERGY – NO MORE BLADES
"Wind power is one of the fastest-growing renewable sources that works well at scale, but it isn't perfect. What if we could scale down wind turbine power to something that could fit on your roof? And be self-contained with smaller moving parts ... or maybe no blades or moving parts at all? Let's look at... Continue Reading →
Trucking could be rolling towards a hydrogen-powered future—if Gaussin has anything to say about it, that is. The French engineering firm has just unveiled a new “skateboard” platform for freight trucks that promises sustainable cruising sans any harmful emissions. The versatile system comes in two different versions that are both geared toward eco-friendly freight transportation. Designed for long-haul... Continue Reading →

The Solar Energy Manufacturing for America Act would establish a tax credit for domestic solar manufacturers in an effort to boost the U.S. solar supply chain, create American clean energy jobs, compete with Chinese manufacturers, and support energy independence. Senator Jon Ossoff (D-Georgia) introduced a bill, dubbed the Solar Energy Manufacturing for America Act, which looks... Continue Reading →
