We live in the era of peak oil, but just as the modern oil industry attempts to deny the effects of carbon emissions, the industry has also found it convenient to deny that oil is a finite resource that will peak and decline.

The Tesla CEO has poured his life into renewables, but environmentalists don’t always agree with his opinions

Electricity supply is expected to remain tight this winter and experts say extreme weather like this summer’s heatwave is becoming more common.

Norway-based firm World Wide Wind is developing a new type of floating, vertical-axis wind turbine (VAWT) that it believes will radically change, and improve, the way we harness the wind's powers, a report from New Atlas reveals. Their VAWTs employ two sets of contra-rotating blades to produce double the output of today's biggest turbines, the company says.

California state lawmakers voted early Wednesday morning to keep the Diablo Canyon Nuclear power plant running. After an overwhelming majority vote, The plant will keep running till 2030 instead of 2025.

Environmentalists advocating for nuclear power have led a push to extend the operating life of Diablo Canyon, California's last nuclear power plant. Japan and Germany consider similar extensions.

All of the projects proposing to manufacture hydrogen where sunshine and wind are constant and cheap and ship it to where energy is consumed are ignoring fiscal reality and the obvious alternative of HVDC transmission.

Sea Wave Energy Ltd (SWEL) has been working for more than a decade on a floating wave energy device it calls the Waveline Magnet. With several prototypes tested on- and off-shore, the company claims it delivers "ultra low cost," with high output.

Europe is seriously considering developing space-based solar power to increase its energy independence and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the leader of the European Space Agency said this week.

The US is a latecomer to offshore wind development, but President Biden has set big goals for expanding it. The Gulf of Mexico has good conditions and a large offshore energy industry.

So, you might not be a morning person, but that doesn’t mean you sometimes don’t have to wake up early. ... Read More

Taxpayers spent $15 million on research to build a breakthrough battery. Then the U.S. government gave it to China.

The Biden administration projects the program could spur the development of 134 gigawatts of new solar power capacity nationwide.

ExxonMobil and Chevron both reported record massive profits thanks to record gasoline prices during the quarter.

The state's last coal-fired power plant will close down in September.

Caroline Dennett tells us what is really happening behind the scenes at Shell and why she is optimistic about people demanding change

Oil prices rose on Tuesday for a second day on growing concerns about tightening European supply after Russia, a key energy supplier to the region, cut gas supply through a major pipeline. Brent crude futures rose $1.25, or 1.2%, to $106.40 a barrel by 1359 GMT, extending the previous day's 1.9% gain.

More has been invested in nuclear fusion in the last 12 months than over the past decade, according to new industry figures. The clean energy solution has attracted about $2.8bn (£2.5bn) in investment globally over the past year, compared with $1.9bn (£1.6bn) in total over the past decade.The solution produces clean energy by fusing together atomic nuclei. It is the reaction which powers the Sun and in turn fuels life on Earth.

Nearly 40GW of solar PV will be rolled out across Europe by the end of the year, according to SolarPower Europe (SPE), as the continent scrambles to deploy renewables and wean itself off Russian gas. The expectation-beating figure of more than 39GW of solar PV is a significant jump on last year’s figure of 27GW, itself a decade-long installation record.

Enjoying that AC? Thank the mighty power of the sun and the renewable energy source keeping the grid afloat.
