The Switch to Renewable Energy in the US Faces Numerous Challenges

The United States of America's efforts to switch away from fossil fuels to renewables have run into a myriad of challenges. As the largest greenhouse gas emitter in history and the second largest emitter after China in modern times, the U.S. needs to work on reducing its massive greenhouse gas emissions and transition towards renewables such as wind and solar without placing undue stress on the environment or economy. In addition to making massive investments in wind, solar, geothermal, hydropower, and other clean sources of energy, the U.S. will have to essentially overhaul its power grid to ensure it can…

EU Clean Energy Transition Plan Encounters Resistance from Atomic Energy Advocates

The European Union has encountered a new challenge in its quest to replace fossil fuels with various renewable alternatives; resistance from pro-nuclear energy governments. With solar and wind acting as the main alternatives and the driving force in the EU’s green energy drive, pro-nuclear regimes in the regional bloc say they will not support a green energy goal that doesn't include atomic energy. The 27 states that make up the European Union have different views on nuclear energy, a controversial type of energy that generates no greenhouse gas emissions but is widely avoided due to the toxic waste it produces…

Trump’s Administration is Likely to Welcome All Energy Options

Despite President-elect Donald Trump's outspoken criticism of renewable energy, a growing number of experts believe that the second Trump administration is likely to pursue an "all-of-the-above” energy strategy that encompasses both fossil fuels and clean energy. Several key figures in the incoming president's inner circle have discussed using such an approach to advance America's energy plans, a major indication that Trump's impact on the country's burgeoning green energy sector may not be as bad as previously feared. The Biden administration championed the use of renewables instead of fossil fuels and spent billions of dollars trying to build the country's green…

EC Boosts Clean Energy by Launching Second Hydrogen Auction

The European Commission (EC) has launched a second hydrogen auction to boost clean energy projects and help build the world's renewable energy capacity. The $1.26 billion hydrogen auction had a notably expanded budget compared to the first hydrogen auction and was launched under the European Hydrogen Bank. This second auction is meant to boost the production of Renewable Fuel of Non-Biological Origin (RFNBO) in the European Economic Area (EEA). Renewable hydrogen is expected to play a major role in the European Union’s transition to clean energy alongside solar, wind, hydropower, and geothermal energy. The second hydrogen auction began on December…
