Continuing this series on Renewable Cities PechaKucha presentations, Mark Z Jacobson, a legend in the world of renewable energy research, gave an excellent, information-packed presentation on the opening night of the Renewable Cities Global Learning Forum (see our Renewable Cities archives here). I love that he started by highlighting the insane health … [continued]

Lower fuel costs, predictable fuel prices and green jobs are the main factors that make the straight economic case for investing massive amounts of money in new clean power facilities. Now a new report suggests that health care costs are an equally if not more important factor than the other … [continued]
