Germany’s Energy Watch Group says the methane emissions from natural gas are worse for the environment than carbon emissions from burning coal or oil.
The State of North Carolina is working on a plan to reduce carbon emissions to zero by 2025, but Duke Energy, the largest electricity provider in the state, is busy claiming solar power means more emissions, not less.
Add the building electrification movement to the mounting pile of difficulties piled onto the plate of stakeholders in the US natural gas industry.
America got more electricity from renewables in April than from coal for the first time ever. As prices for renewables continue to fall, more records like that are in the offing.
IEEFA predicts that electricity from renewables — hydro, solar, and wind — will surpass that from coal for the first time in the US this April and May. Part of that is short term trends and part of it is longer term changes in the market driven by falling prices for renewables.
While companies are working to lower their data centers’ environmental impacts, it’s often done in a piecemeal manner. Companies’ data centers are rarely completely green — running on renewable energy, incorporating efficiency measures and reusing the waste heat.
We are not talking about some day in the future here. Renewables are pushing gas out already.
Despite opposition from state leaders, more wind and solar power is coming to Ohio, including one hybrid facility that combines both.
The natural gas industry is growing seemingly by leaps and bounds, and yet a number of people believe it is clear that something is very wrong with it.
