Economic Incentives Trounce Rational Arguments in Driving Clean-Energy Transition

Proponents of renewable energy are increasingly relying on economic incentives rather than rational arguments to drive the global transition to green energy. As climate policies in developed nations with the most sway in the global transition to green energy increasingly come under attack, economic incentives may offer a means of driving the energy transition without becoming a target for populist rhetoric. Rather than making rational arguments about the benefits of convincing regular citizens to adopt renewable-energy technology and support the transition away from fossil fuels to cleaner alternatives, economic incentives could be more effective at getting the job done. According…

New Agreement to See Thousands of Sheep Grazing at Solar Farms

A new partnership between vegetation-management company Texas Solar Sheep and energy company Enel North America will see thousands of sheep graze at a massive solar farm to help maintain the fast-growing grass at 4,100 acres’ worth of solar land. Texas Solar Sheep will deploy more than 6,000 sheep to graze at eight Texas-based solar plants, providing Enel North America with a sustainable means of controlling the vegetation at its solar-energy plants. The recent partnership with Texas Solar Sheep is part of Enel North America’s efforts to boost the adoption of sustainable practices in the burgeoning renewables industry. Texas Solar Sheep…

New Report Identifies Green-Energy Gap Standing in Way of Climate Goals

A new Rockefeller Foundation report has revealed that the world is facing a major green-energy gap that could potentially prevent it from achieving established renewable-energy goals. The findings point to a massive green power gap that's nearly two times larger than America's annual renewables capacity and underscored the pressing need for green energy in 72 nations. According to the Rockefeller Foundation's report, 72 countries in Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Latin America and the Middle East face an 8,700 terawatt-hour (TWh) renewable energy gap. The report states that this significant energy gap currently affects a whopping 3.8 billion people worldwide,…

New Technologies, Practices Help to Transform Clean-Energy Sector

Replacing fossil fuels with renewables will be one of the globe’s most challenging and rewarding undertakings of this century. Dozens of countries have already taken significant steps to reduce their reliance on fossil fuels and cut their greenhouse-gas emissions, but the world is still quite a way from carbon neutrality. New technologies and practices could be the key to transforming the fledgling green-energy industry and accelerating the adoption of renewables. Clean energy is already responsible for powering a growing share of the world's energy needs, especially in the European Union, where countries such as Norway are leaps and bounds ahead…

The West Could Learn Valuable Lessons from China’s Green Energy Rise

China has turned its massive manufacturing might toward clean energy over the past decade, and the results have been impressive. The east Asian nation produces nearly all the photovoltaic solar panels on the globe, produces the cheapest battery electric cars, and has installed more green-energy infrastructure than any other nation on the globe. Despite the historic tension between the West and China, Western nations could learn a lot from China's rise in the renewable-energy space. While China has spent at least a decade and invested considerable funds toward developing its green industries, the West is largely playing catch up and…

UN Report Flags Drop in Access to Energy, a First in 10 Years

A recently published United Nations (UN) report has warned of a widening global energy gap that is leaving hundreds of millions around the world with no access to electricity. The SDG 7 report notes that 685 million did not have electricity access in 2022, up from 675 million in 2021, making it the first time in more than a decade that access to electricity fell. According to the Energy Progress Report 2024, the increase in the number of people without access to electricity was due to a number of factors. Those factors includedpopulation growth outpacing the rate of new connections,…

Wisconsin Energy Regulators to Make Unprecedented Decisions as State Goes Green

Energy regulators in Wisconsin are poised to make decisions unprecedented in the state's history as it speeds up its transition to clean energy. Renewables accounted for only 3% of Wisconsin’s capacity in 2008, but now the Badger State draws a whopping 28% of its energy from green sources such as solar and wind. While this pales in comparison to what many European countries have achieved, it is a monumental achievement for Wisconsin and a stepping stone to even greater successes in the renewables segment. However, some green-energy proponents say the state's current pace of green-energy adoption isn't fast enough to…

Research Team Develops Self-Healing Device to Generate Clean Energy

A research team from the Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science & Technology (DGIST) in South Korea has developed a novel clean-energy-generation technology with self-healing properties. Led by Lee Joo-hyuk, a professor in the department of energy science and engineering, the team designed the biodegradable green device to enhance current renewable energy-generation capabilities while minimizing the burgeoning green-energy industry's impact on the environment. The ionic polyurethane-based triboelectric generator uses ionic liquid to boost its power output significantly and has high electropositive, self healing and biodegradable properties. The new design’s properties make it a potentially feasible sustainable energy source for the next…
