The World Could Learn Vital Lessons from India’s Green Energy Push

India’s efforts to incorporate green energy into its energy mix hold several vital lessons for the rest of the world. Despite its reliance on fossil fuels, the Asian nation has taken several notable steps to increase its capacity for green energy, provide affordable green energy, and ensure energy equity. The Global South particularly stands to benefit the most from copying key aspects of India’s green energy strategy as most of the 675 million people who don’t have access to basic electricity live in these nations. Emerging economies typically have the least access to green energy financing, preventing them from developing…

UK Communities Up in Arms Against “Monstrous” Pylons, Solar Energy “Wastelands”

A growing number of UK residents are protesting against the installations of ‘monstrous’ pylons in their communities. The country’s ongoing transition from fossil fuels to renewables has left a growing number of massive metal structures in its wake and drawn the ire of the communities forced to live with these structures. Eileen West from Aberdeenshire is part of “Deeside against Pylons,” a local campaign against the invasive structures meant to support the transition to solar energy. A recent proposal seeks to place a massive new pylon line 187 feet (57m) a couple hundred meters from her house. Even though this…

The EU Hails Plan to Build a Hydrogen Pipeline from North Africa to Europe

The European Union (EU) is backing a plan to build a hydrogen pipeline from North Africa to nations in the EU. The subsea pipeline would transport green hydrogen from Tunisia and Algeria to Germany, Italy, and Austria by the end of the decade, but many experts are apprehensive about the plan's feasibility. Ministers from Tunisia, Algeria, Italy, Austria, and Germany recently had a meeting in Rome to confirm their home countries’ intentions to build a 2,174 to 2,485 kilometers pipeline beneath the Mediterranean Sea. The plan is to connect hydrogen production facilities in Tunisia and Algeria with consumer hubs in…

Solar Looks Set to Dominate the US Renewable Energy Sector

Solar energy is poised to dominate America’s fledgling renewable energy industry amidst robust policy support and a nationwide surge in new solar installations. While several alternative sources of energy can replace fossil fuels, solar energy has taken center stage over the past two decades thanks to significant advancements in technology and an over 99% drop in solar energy prices. A lot of green energy developers in the U.S. completed their solar projects in 2024, adding to America’s growing renewable energy capacity, and are now eyeing new opportunities for 2025 and beyond. As the U.S. transitions away from fossil fuels to…

Bottom-Up Projects Will Be Key to a Clean Energy Future in Cities

Citizen engagement and participation will be critical to achieving a clean energy future in cities across the world, experts say. Although transitioning to green energy will be one of the most significant infrastructure projects that humanity has ever undertaken, public awareness of the renewable energy transition is quite low. Bottom-up initiatives have especially low citizen participation rates and are barely in the public’s awareness, EUSEW Young Energy Ambassador Bettina Päri says. According to Päri, such bottom-up projects will be key to facilitating the full-scale change needed to reach the 100 Net-Zero-Cities target by the end of the decade. They provide…
