WASHINGTON DC - Electricity generated from renewables surpassed coal in the United States for the first time in 2022, the U.S. Energy Information Administration announced Monday. Renewables passed nuclear electricity production for the first time in 2012 and continued to outpace it.Growth in wind and solar significantly drove the increase in renewable energy and contributed
WASHINGTON DC - In less than a decade, the decarbonization efforts enshrined in the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) of 2022 will bring annual investments into domestic renewable energy deployment from $64 billion last year to nearly $114 billion in less than a decade, according to a new Wood Mackenzie report. This will be the case
LANSING - A Democratic leader’s bill aims to require Michigan to use 100 percent renewable energy by 2035, a goal deemed unrealistic given current technology. The bill doesn’t explain how Michigan will advance from renewables providing only 11 percent of Michigan's net electricity generation in 2021, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, to 100
NEW YORK - The global energy crisis is driving a sharp acceleration in installations of renewable power, with total capacity growth worldwide set to almost double in the next five years, overtaking coal as the largest source of electricity generation along the way and helping keep alive the possibility of limiting global warming to 1.5
PALO ALTO, Ca. - Most EV owners currently charge their vehicles at night when they aren’t in use, taking advantage of cheaper, off-peak electricity rates when demand is low and fossil fuel (mostly natural gas) or nuclear power plants are providing much of the electricity. But by 2035, with hotter nighttime temperatures requiring more air
