Switching The World To Renewable Energy Will Cost $62 Trillion, But The Payback Would Take…
Mark Jacobson and his team have published a renewable energy study in which they argue the payback time is just 6 years.

We Can Have (Just About) Everything We Want For Energy & The Climate
The only things we have to give up are killing people and wrecking the environment. Okay, let’s start with a list of the things we would really like to have for energy and the climate in the year 2050. For many CleanTechnica readers, the list of things we want to … [continued]
Europe’s Current Energy Crisis Was Predictable — And Was Predicted
The implications of fracking bankruptcies, COVID, and the Saudi-Russian price war should have been clear to anyone looking at the space.
Howarth/Jacobson “Blue” Hydrogen Assessment Stronger Than Bauer Et Al’s (Part 2 of 2)
Comparing Jacobson and Howarth’s “blue” hydrogen CO2e emissions paper to Bauer et al’s makes it clear that Jacobson and Howarth are much more correct.
Howarth/Jacobson “Blue” Hydrogen Assessment Stronger Than Bauer Et Al’s (Part 1 of 2)
Comparing Jacobson and Howarth’s “blue” hydrogen CO2e emissions paper to Bauer et al’s makes it clear that Jacobson and Howarth are much more correct.
The Bauer Et Al “Blue” Hydrogen LCA Paper Isn’t Useful In The Real World (Part…
As a contribution to the literature on what will happen in the real world, this is a fairly slight addition, one which is being promoted far beyond its actual merit by the usual suspects.
Hydrogen Demand: And Now The Contentious Disappointments
In the first part of this series, I projected and explained the plummeting hydrogen demand from petroleum refining and fertilizer, the biggest sources of demand today, through 2100. In the second part, I explored the flat demand segments, and the single source of significant demand increase I see for hydrogen … [continued]
Hydrogen Demand: There Is Only One Growth Hotspot Through 2100 (Part 2 Of 3)
Hydrogen demand today is two-thirds for petroleum refining and fertilizer manufacturing. Both of those uses are going to drop precipitously in the coming decades, and the one area of demand growth won’t replace the loss.
Hydrogen Demand: Hydrogen Is Not A Growth Market, It’s A Diminishing One (Part 1 Of…
Hydrogen demand today is two-thirds for petroleum refining and fertilizer manufacturing. Both of those uses are going to drop precipitously in the coming decades, and the one area of demand growth won’t replace the loss.
Oregon On Verge Of Requiring 100% Clean Electricity By 2040
Electric grids do not change overnight. Power plants and other infrastructure are multi-decade investments, and it’s rare to retire them early. So, it’s a bit painful to watch how slowly they have been getting cleaned up. Even with the majority of new power plants being renewable energy power plants, the … [continued]
