China’s central government has set a target of 1,200 gigawatts (GW) of utility-scale wind and solar capacity by 2030, but a new Global Energy Monitor (GEM) report says the country is set to double its current capacity and meet the goal five years early, a GEM press release said. Prospective projects that have already been […]
For the first time ever, solar and wind components made in the U.S. are less expensive than imports, a new study by researchers from Dartmouth and Princeton has found.
When smoke from the Canada wildfires drifted into the Eastern and Midwestern U.S. last week, creating haze and an otherworldly orange glow, it not only diminished air quality, but it reduced solar power generation by making it more difficult for solar panels to absorb sunlight. Last week, the electricity coming from New England solar farms […]
The UK government has announced £4.3 million ($5.4 million) in funding for space-based solar projects, which will go to UK universities and technology companies. Space-based solar power involves setting up solar panels on satellites sent into space. The panels collect solar energy, and wireless technology can send the power back down to Earth, as explained […]
The U.S. and the UK have announced a new economic partnership called “The Atlantic Declaration” to increase cooperation in renewable energy, artificial intelligence (AI) and critical minerals, “to ensure that our unique alliance is adapted, reinforced, and reimagined for the challenges of this moment,” a press release from The White House said. The White House […]
Much of the coverage of environmental policy focuses on the actions of countries, states or major cities like New York or Paris. But a community doesn’t have to be large to make a difference for the planet or their local ecosystems. Here are seven of the U.S.’s greenest small towns and cities. Ithaca, New York […]
A new report from the International Energy Agency (IEA) shows that renewable power capacity additions are set to rise by a third globally this year, with wind and solar photovoltaic (PV) leading the way. Prompted by the worldwide energy crisis, it will be the largest yearly increase ever. According to the report, concerns about energy […]
Beginning this July, vehicle shoppers in Colorado will get a major incentive to buy an EV or hybrid, as the state is increasing its EV tax credits from the $2,000 current maximum up to $5,000. These incentives are available in addition to federal tax credits for those that meet the qualifications. Earlier in May 2023, […]
In a discovery by researchers from Leiden University in the Netherlands, offshore wind turbines have become a haven for benthos — the community of marine organisms that live in, on or around the seafloor. There are more soil animals per square meter living in the foundations of offshore wind farms than on the floor of […]
