As some of you may remember, I posted a poll last month asking what you all thought was the most disruptive cleantech model. (Note: I used model very loosely here, and you could basically just change that out for “thing” or “solution” if you wanted to.) Interestingly, my answer (which … [continued]
Just coming back from an amazing trip visiting several of Ukraine’s cleantech pioneers, I’ve got a million things to do, including edit, upload, and share with all of you a bunch of interesting interviews and videos. Unfortunately, the New York Times — once a great journalistic outfit — has gone and … [continued]
Integration of renewable energy into the electricity grid is not a problem, and it’s cheaper than sticking with dirty energy sources. We can build a 24/365 reliable grid using either coal, gas, and nuclear; or with wind, solar, and other renewables. The techniques differ somewhat, but the real issue is cost. … [continued]
Time to report the results of our poll regarding the year an electric car will first break into the top 10 of global auto sales. The votes are pretty clustered between 2017 and 2020, with 2018 being the clear winner. Still, a couple dozen of you were quite optimistic and … [continued]
On Friday, I started a poll regarding which electric car would be the first to break into the top 10 of global auto sales, with a long and exciting preface beforehand (click that link above if you didn’t see it). It has been fun to watch the results roll in, … [continued]
On Sunday, CleanTechnica broke the news that Germany broke yet another solar power record when the country’s 1.3+ million PV systems turned a sunny summer day into 23.9 GW of solar power at about 1:30 PM. This short breaking news has drawn quite a lot of attention, which is reason enough … [continued]
Following our top solar states rankings and our top solar countries rankings, below are rankings that mix the two. The rankings are for total and new solar power capacity per capita as well as total and new solar power per GDP. I thin the results are very interesting…. If you … [continued]
–> Update: Also see the new top solar power countries vs top US solar states rankings. Following up on my top solar power state rankings, below are rankings of the top solar power countries per capita and per GDP. These solar power by country rankings are key to seeing who the … [continued]
While many countries still discuss whether or not a 100% renewable energy system – or “just” a 100% renewable electricity supply – is even theoretically possible, Germans seem no longer bothered by such unscientific doubts. To make matters “worse,” some of them (including myself) are even convinced that a transition … [continued]
Last year, I put together rankings of the top solar power countries per capita, per GDP, and per TWh of electricity production. In January, I then created rankings of the top solar power states per capita and followed those up with rankings of the top solar power states per capita … [continued]
