The current head of the US Environmental Protection Agency Scott Pruitt does not believe or understand long-known principles of climate science and basic physics. Recently he claimed on CNBC that carbon dioxide is not a primary contributor to global warming:
On climate change and greenhouse gas emissions, the US company Salesforce has a message for everybody else: what are you waiting for?
The 15.5 megawatt solar project that powers the Cochin International Airport in southern India will soon see an expansion, thus adding to the airport’s distinction as the world’s first to be powered solely by solar power.
While it certainly seems true that the switch to renewables is irreversible, if Donald Trump were to succeed in the Koch-promoted efforts he’s already adopted to trash his predecessor’s climate-and-energy initiatives, the switch could be slowed in the states, giving China and Europe the same kind of advantage as the Danish Vestas company got when it moved ahead on wind technology after the Reagan administration abandoned America’s wind-power lead in the 1980s.
This blog showcases three women from the developing world who have used small-scale solar panels, solar cook stoves, and solar lanterns to become successful businesswomen. Their stories demonstrate how women serve as frequent decision makers regarding how household energy is used and how they can serve as ideal agents of change who successfully spearhead the proliferation of solar energy.
Let’s be honest, comparing Tesla to conventional automakers like GM, Ford, and Fiat-Chrysler Automotive is a little unfair — the “Big 3” don’t sell solar roofs or energy storage systems, just cars.
A follow-up report published by Power for All has outlined a suite of policies impoverished nations can adopt to accelerate the adoption of decentralised renewable energy products and services, which is a big step on the road to providing reliable electricity to the over billion people without access to energy.
Many hope that wind and solar power will eventually become economically competitive on large scale, leading the way to a global low-carbon economy. Are these hopes justified?
In 2012 French journalist Cyril Dion read a study stating that unless we take action now, humankind could disappear between 2040 and 2100. He shared his concerns with a friend, actress/filmaker Melanie Lauren. This ultimately led to their global trek, filming the route towards Tomorrow.
As India moves decisively towards renewables for future generation, now is the time to make connections in India’s renewable energy sector. Renewable Energy World India conference and exhibition is the platform for industry experts to exchange knowledge and showcase new renewable energy technology developments that will ultimately help transform India’s power generation system into one that is low carbon.
