New Berkeley Lab study finds evidence of relative decreases in home sale prices within 0.5 miles of large-scale photovoltaic projects in three of six states studied. The construction of large-scale photovoltaic projects (LSPVPs), defined here as ground-mounted photovoltaic generation facilities with at least 1 megawatt (MW) of direct current generation capacity, can be linked to […]

Repowering an existing wind farm is one way to get around the anti-wind movement and keep pumping more clean kilowatts into the grid.

Nottingham City Council’s electric vehicle fleet is growing quite nicely. At the moment, 51% of the council’s vehicles are powered by electricity, including six bin lorries, road sweepers, and vans. Electric bin lorries and road sweepers — how cool is that! In an exciting development reported on My Nottingham News, a first of its kind […]

The IRA boosted domestic BEV models, while imported ones suffeed the most.

In February of last year, BYD Auto Industry Co Ltd (BYD) and UZAVTOSANOAT JSC (UzAuto) signed a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to develop, produce, and popularize “new energy vehicles” (NEV) in Uzbekistan.

Everyone, their mother, and their dog can see that the auto industry is electrifying. That includes oil companies (like Shell) and gas stations & convenience stores (like 7-Eleven). Regarding the latter, the news this week is that 7-Eleven has launched its own EV charging network! The name of that charging network is 7Charge. The first […]

Achieving a net-zero US steel sector will require investments in new, low-emissions primary steel production. In a big year for climate action, 2022 saw the United States double down on strategies and mechanisms to accelerate its economy toward achieving net zero. These incentives at the state and federal level (including the CHIPS and Science Act, […]

African countries are moving rapidly towards renewable energy, primarily through their abundant resource of solar. Funding for these projects is coming from a variety of sources — EU, Arab states, US, and Kenya. The size of grids ranges from mini to maxi. While our climate change concern may be focussed on the major energy users […]

U.S. energy-related CO2 emissions drop 25% to 38% below what they were in 2005 by 2030, according to our projections in the Annual Energy Outlook 2023 (AEO2023). We use 2005 as an emissions reference year because the United States’ nationally determined contribution (NDC), submitted as part of the Paris Agreement, calls for a target of 50% to 52% […]
