Tighter regulation and careful planning will ensure our public chargers actually work.
Home batteries and rooftop solar have become enormously popular. But while powerful, these technologies won’t let us get rid of the grid.
Four experts explain why the design of your home matters more than the size of your home battery.
Climate change, biodiversity loss and water conservation are often framed as problems in need of national policies. However, there is an often more important level of governance: the neighborhood.
New technologies could make the switch to solar more affordable for renters and apartment dwellers.
Plug-in solar panels could soon be on sale in UK, but there’s some steps the government still needs to take.
Africa’s clean energy funding would work much better if projects could borrow on fairer terms, and have longer to pay back loans.
Consumers in some countries are already being offered free electricity when renewables bring in extra power.
Switching to solar power could help save money, but it is not just about installing panels.
Green policies including wind farms are turning into a battleground for the Welsh election.
The clear signal this trend data sends is Australians are a pragmatic lot. If using an EV might save them money, they are interested.
If China sets the international rules for the global green economy it could be in a very strong position. That’s not far off.
As fuel prices rise, some remote communities feel the shock twice: first at the pump and then in the power supply.
What is the future for Britain’s sheep? Farmers are choosing to keep fewer animals.
Solar cycles, sea ice and rising electricity use all play a role. So does an unhealthy surprise that has been quietly hiding a large amount of global warming – until now.
While wind and solar energy led in investments globally, liquefied natural gas is also booming. A former climate envoy for Germany explains what’s coming and the countries to watch.
China is still expanding its coal-fired power stations and depends on coal in its energy network.
China is hesistant about taking over financial leadership over the global fight against climate change. Here’s why.
Politics is just one challenge. The cost of borrowing to build wind and solar farms is another, especially in fast-growing developing countries. There are solutions.
