UN: Falling clean energy costs can provide opportunity to boost climate action during COVID-19 recovery
If governments take advantage of the ever-falling price tag of renewables to put clean energy at the heart of COVID-19 economic recovery, they can take a big step towards a healthy world, which is the best insurance policy against global pandemics.
The Fukushima Effect at Home: New roles for local actors in Japan’s energy policy
Post Fukushima, Japan’s energy network has expanded dramatically to include thousands of small renewable power companies which create many small solar, wind, biomass, and geothermal plants.
How power systems can be operated using only renewable power generation
Implementing fully-inverter-based power systems on a large scale may be possible using wind and solar power.
Reflecting sunlight to cool the planet could cause other unintended global changes
Scientists model the effects of spraying aerosols into the stratosphere and discover some unintended consequences.
Macrocycles help create green, fast-charging batteries
Researchers have created a fast-charging battery prototype that uses sodium instead of lithium, and macrocycles to store the chemical energy.
