Michigan Receives $129M Federal Grant to Support Utility-Scale, Clean-Energy Projects

Michigan has received a federal grant worth millions of dollars to fund utility-scale, clean-energy projects. The $129 million grant was announced by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) to help advance Michigan's efforts to cut greenhouse gas emissions. According to EPA Midwest regional administrator Debra Shore, the grant will be used to provide assistance and incentives to local as well as tribal governments to speed up clean-energy projects. This will in turn accelerate renewable -energy adoption at scale and put Michigan on track to achieving its goal of using 60% green energy by 2030, Shore said. The grant would also…

New Poll Shows Latino Voters in Arizona Are Big on Green Energy, Climate Action

A recent poll has revealed that Latino voters in Arizona want their leaders to take more action on climate and clean energy. The Latino vote played a decisive role during the 2020 elections in Arizona and is likely to be equally decisive in the upcoming election. According to a survey by environmental justice outfit Chispa AZ, this group is likely to side with candidates who align themselves with clean energy and other climate-change mitigation efforts. After surveying 520 registered Latino voters in Arizona, the poll found that 70% of the respondents were concerned with climate change while 60% supported the…

Clean-Energy Transition Poses New Sets of Challenges

As the world races to shed its reliance on fossil fuels and transition to renewables, experts in all associated fields will have to spend a considerable amount of time addressing a variety of new challenges. The United States, along with several other countries, have set lofty green-energy plans that will require significant investment coupled with massive infrastructure improvements with potential political costs. Scientists have been talking about climate change since the 1990s, but three decades later the issue is still contentious and largely tied to politics. Progressive regimes are more likely to invest in renewables, but the transition could have…

Surging Green-Energy Production Forces Coal Even Lower in China’s Energy Mix

Despite its reliance on coal-fired energy to power its massive manufacturing sector, China has made such significant strides in green-energy production that the fossil fuel’s contribution to China's energy mix has fallen even lower. Renewable energy production in the country surpassed its electricity demand growth in May as coal’s share in China's energy mix dropped to a record 53%, while renewables produced a historic 44% of the country's electricity in March. Analysis by Asia Society Policy Institute fellow Lauri Myllyvirta also found that greenhouse-gas emissions in China may have peaked last year. Myllyvirta also serves as a lead analyst at…

European Wind Energy Projects Face Lengthy Delays Before Coming Online

A recent report from WindEurope has revealed Europe's transition to green energy has run headlong into a significant barrier: wind energy projects are waiting up to several years to gain access to energy grids. The report found that hundreds of such projects across the continent have been forced to wait years to obtain a grid connection. Furthermore, this backlog of projects is moving so slowly, it has created a bottleneck that is slowing the green-energy transition in Europe. According to the WindEurope report, gaining access to Europe's energy grid represents the foremost barrier to the deployment of renewables such as…

Can Green Energy Replicate Sense of Culture, Community That Coal Mining Nurtured?

Coal played an instrumental role in human civilization and supplied a significant portion of the energy humanity used to industrialize. Although the fossil fuel has rightfully received a lot of flak over the past several decades because of its part in hastening global warming, it brought communities together and helped to advance the human race. Many countries are now working to rid themselves of their dependence on fossil fuels such as coal to arrest global warming, a potentially existential crisis that is already causing extreme weather events across the world. However, with the United States, the European Union and the…

New UK Government Cancels Onshore Wind Farms Ban

The new United Kingdom government is reversing the previous regime’s ban on onshore wind farms just days after being voted in. Instituted by the outgoing Tories' regime, the outright ban on new onshore wind farm facilities would most likely hamper the UK’s efforts to reduce its reliance on fossil fuels and transition to cleaner alternatives. The ban was put in place nearly a decade ago in 2015 when then-Prime Minister David Cameron decreed that onshore wind projects could be scuttled by just one planning objection. However, former Communities Secretary Michael Gove said last September that the ban would be removed,…

Company Makes Progress in Building Storm-Resistant Clean-Energy System for Tropical Locations

The European Union's PLOTEC project has made notable progress in the development of a storm-resistant clean-energy system for use in tropical locations. Called the Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC), the prototype generates electricity by using the temperature difference between colder deep water and warm surface water. In addition, the system can withstand severe tropical storms, and its design allows it to continue to generate electricity 24/7, even in the wake of major tropical storms, providing a perpetual clean-energy source that can run even after severe weather events in the tropics. The prototype is currently in development at the Hidramar Shipyard…
