This is no surprise to solar power fans and followers, that solar power could supply the world with over half of its electricity needs by 2060. But the fact that the International Energy Agency (IEA) is broadcasting that, after increasing its previous projections, is pretty uplifting.
Solar power experts have been working behind the scenes on a project that will see the most advanced and the largest solar power farm emerging to change the landscape somewhere in the southeastern United States.
Following up on a great guest post by Chris Varrone on wind intermittency and why it’s not a big deal, apparently the International Energy Agency (IEA) now has a new book out, Harnessing Variable Renewables: a Guide to the Balancing Challenge, that tells us the same thing that Chris was explaining.
Climate watchers in Brazil and the world can celebrate today’s official launch of a Climate Policy Initiative (CPI) center in Brazil. CPI Rio will focus on effective green and low carbon development policies in Brazil.
The International Energy Agency (IEA) was established in the wake of the 1973-74 oil crisis to ensure the uninterupted supply of oil to industrialized nations. This autonomous agency now predicts oil prices will rise an additional 30% over the next three years.
Following up on my overview post on the cost of wind power, here’s a little discussion on some more intricate matters related to wind power.
Here are some good stories on clean tech politics from the last week or so (other than what we’ve covered). U.S. and China / International Fearing high gas prices, Sean Hannity proposes re-invading Iraq and Kuwait to “take all their oil” Friday’s Hannity on Fox News featured a discussion by the Great … [continued]
Sadly, much more than concern for future generations or concern for other creatures on the planet, a slight reduction in the amount of money in people’s wallets (or the number of new gadgets or clothes they can buy) may be the biggest driver of environmentally-responsible behavioral change. Well, it looks … [continued]
A new report out by the International Energy Agency (IEA) makes it clear that if we just stopped subsidizing the fossil fuel industry (or, at least, subsidized it a lot less) we could significantly cut climate change pollution. The report found that the global fossil fuel industry receives … [continued]
[social_buttons] The International Energy Agency (IEA) presented two new solar energy analyses in Valencia, Spain this week, a Solar Photovoltaic Energy Technology Roadmap and a Concentrating Solar Power Technology Roadmap. The key finding from these is that 20-25% of global electricity production could be from solar energy by 2050. In … [continued]
