In our latest newsletter, we examine the questions surrounding Canada’s plans for disposing nuclear waste — including from the two Ontario regions that could play host

America’s largest oil firm claims its history of publicly denying the climate crisis is protected by the first amendment

The study finds that the total indirect emissions from EVs pale in comparison to the indirect emissions from fossil fuel-powered vehicles.

The experimental fusion reactor could help to unlock near limitless clean energy.

It’s been a long road, but recent advances mean we’re closing in on a game-changing technology.

Finding green energy when the winds are calm and the skies are cloudy has been a challenge. Storing it in giant concrete blocks could be the answer.

"For the energy industry in Germany, the nuclear phase-out is final," said Kerstin Andreae, the head of energy industry association BDEW.

Solar energy users save as much as 75 million barrels of oil and 35 million tonnes of carbon dioxide every year.

After breakthroughs this year at MIT and elsewhere, scientists — and a growing number of deep-pocketed investors — insist that fusion is for real and could start sending power to electricity grids in about a decade.

Imagine a world entirely free of fossil fuels. That's no longer such an abstract concept, as most of the everyday things we do can be powered by electricity -- driving a car, heating a home, charging a phone or computer -- and all that energy could come from sources like the wind, the sun and the natural movement of water.

The U.K. is home to a mature offshore wind sector that looks set to expand in the coming years.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has slammed California’s plan for homeowners who use solar panels in their homes. The proposal calls for a discounted rate for excess power sold into the grid, as well as a monthly utility charge of $8 per kW to cover the cost of maintaining the state’s power infrastructure. Musk noted that the idea, which essentially penalizes sustainable energy, is “insane.”

(PhysOrg.com) -- The 440 commercial nuclear reactors in use worldwide are currently helping to minimize our consumption of fossil fuels, but how much bigger can nuclear power get? In an analysis to be published in a future issue of the Proceedings of the IEEE, Derek Abbott, Professor of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at the University of Adelaide in Australia, has concluded that nuclear power cannot be globally scaled to supply the worlds energy needs for numerous reasons. The results suggest that were likely better off investing in other energy solutions that are truly scalable.

The controversial Scarborough gas project off Western Australia will cause a substantial rise in greenhouse gas emissions at a time when the world must rapidly decarbonise, new analysis released today shows.

The world will need to shut down nearly 3,000 coal-fired power plants before 2030 if it is to have a chance of keeping temperature rises within 1.5 Celsius, according to research by climate think tank TransitionZero.

Some Eastern European countries dependent on coal will face tough decisions as they transition to cleaner forms of energy. A Platform Initiative in Support of Coal Regions in Transition for Western Balkans and Ukraine provides countries in the region decades of expertise and the tools and financing necessary to accelerate the transition away from coal.

Portugal shut down its last remaining coal plant over the weekend, ending the use of the polluting material for electricity generation and becoming the fourth country in the European Union to do so.

The 13,000-acre Mammoth Solar farm will span two northern Indiana counties.

Computer chips may be in short supply, but the semiconductor industry’s carbon emissions are plentiful. The little pieces of silicon are vital in today’s technology-driven economies, but their impact on the planet isn’t always positive. Vast amounts of energy are required to manufacture the chips that lie beneath the hood of a whole manner of items — from fighter jets and cars, to kettles and doorbells.

Blackstone CEO Stephen Schwarzman warned Tuesday that high energy prices will likely set off social unrest around the world.
