Easing Monetary Policy Alone May Not Sufficiently Boost Clean-Energy Investment

Experts warn that the Fed's decision to finally ease its monetary policy after several months of consecutive interest rate hikes may not be enough to offer a sufficient boost to clean-energy investment. The U.S. Federal Reserve began its easing cycle by cutting benchmark interest rates by 50 basis points last week, a move that was swiftly followed by central banks in Canada and several European nations. With countries such as Sweden, Switzerland and England, among many others, also easing their monetary policy, and some expected to speed up the pace, the inflationary environment triggered by the coronavirus pandemic is mostly…

Global Clean Energy Generation Reaches New Milestone

The world has reached a notable milestone in its efforts to ramp up renewable energy generation and eliminate fossil fuels from its energy mix. New research recently revealed that energy production from green sources accounted for more t han 40% of the electricity generated worldwide for the first time in 2023. Two BloombergNEF reports show that solar and wind provided 24% of this electricity while nearly 9% of all the power-capacity additions done globally were from wind and solar compared to only 6% from fossil fuels. Lead author Sofia Maia said the researchers have noted a “steep change” in green…

High Fossil Fuel Use in US Highlight Challenges of Energy Transition

Although the United States has made significant strides in its efforts to adopt renewable energy during the last decade, fossil fuels still play a major role in the nation’s energy mix. Over two centuries of using coal, oil and natural gas have made it extremely difficult for the U.S. to shake its reliance on fossil fuels, and the country still relies on dirty fuels to fulfill the majority of its energy needs. The past 10 years have seen more American power generators increasingly favor clean-energy sources over fossil fuels, causing their capacity to generate renewables to surge by 70% and…
