Continuing on with our daily series on Leonardo ENERGY videos, here’s one on the topic of the renewable energy and energy efficiency information jungle, and how to navigate it.
Like many cities attempting to solve climate change at a local level, Minneapolis is finding the prospect more challenging that it may have imagined. The lion’s share of emissions (two-thirds in the case of Minneapolis) come from electricity and gas sold by two monopoly, corporate utilities. Minnesota’s state-level policy is … [continued]
China advanced past 50 gigawatts (GW) of on-grid/connected wind power capacity in 2012, and this is expected to grow a further 40% by the end of 2013. GTM Media Research and Azure International in their China Wind Market Quarterly for the fourth quarter of 2012 said the emerging market country is on … [continued]
I recently wrote a long post on the idea of using a “value of solar” policy instead of various types of government incentives for solar. Much of that post was based on research conducted by Clean Power Research for Austin Energy — so that Austin Energy could implement a Value … [continued]
I made a big mistake yesterday when I posted about my first update of the Cleantech, Climate, & Other Green News Google Doc. Well, actually, I made a big mistake before that. I didn’t initially make the doc available to the public! Luckily, a bunch of people requested access to the doc, … [continued]
Just a reminder that I’m now updating this Google Doc daily with top cleantech and climate stories from around the interwebs: Cleantech, Climate, & Other Green News. Today was the first update.
For the wind-obsessed, below are some top wind energy stories from the past couple days or so. Note: following this post, I’m actually going to streamline this news roundup process by sharing daily Wind Energy News Roundups only in this Google Doc (rather than doing so there and on this CleanTechnica page). Also, I’m not going … [continued]
WWF has been a leader in the drive to get the world to adopt renewable energy. But, beyond simply pushing for it, WWF has also helped map out plans for how to reach a renewable energy future. A new report from WWF, Putting the EU on Track for 100% Renewable … [continued]
Continuing on with our daily series on Leonardo ENERGY videos, here’s one on small-scale wind energy systems (not the type of wind turbines that dominate the wind power market):
This article was originally published on RenewEconomy: The fundamental transformation of energy markets brought about by the growing incursions of renewables such as wind and solar has been underlined in a new report by the European energy analysts at Macquarie Group, who have concluded that the plunge in costs for … [continued]
