"Distributed solar generally describes projects less than 1 MW in capacity, such as rooftop solar panels atop homes and businesses. Community solar refers to slightly larger developments — typically about 2 MW in capacity — that may serve a neighborhood or other geographic area."
"The move toward a carbon-zero future may still not be as fast as many would like. But perhaps market forces are starting to give a stronger push in the green direction—even in the land of coal and natural gas down under."
As the United States looks to meet growing energy demand it will need to increase transmission capacity and reliability.
"A new generation of American advanced reactors will make immense contributions to global security, U.S. economic growth, and climate action if we let them. If not, the U.S. could fail to meet its own clean energy pledges while also losing ground to China and Russia on technological innovation."
"'Regardless of mitigation ... we must learn to live with fire,' per the report. 'We must learn to better manage and mitigate the risk of wildfires to human health and livelihoods, biodiversity, and the global climate.'"
"Turning out the lights is not an option. We will power our moden economy one way or the other, and if it is too difficult or costly to deploy clean energy sources and to construct the infrastructure upon which it relies, we will stick with dirtier and more carbon-intensive energy sources."
"The researchers say the composite for their method can be easily made using readily available sources of aluminum, including used foil and cans. While gallium is less abundant and is expensive, the scientists say it is easy to recover and reuse, which should help to make their method scalable for mass use as the world increasingly experiments with new modes of hydrogen transportation."
"After a winter storm knocked out power to most of Texas last February, home solar company Sunrun Inc. said traffic to its website spiked 350%. In California, the company said orders for solar paired with battery storage rose following devastating wildfires and policies by utilities such as PG&E Corp. to shut off electricity in certain areas during high winds to reduce the risk that downed power lines could spark fires."
"Texas also surpassed other states in the amount of storage it has under construction or in advanced development, reaching nearly 20,000 megawatts, followed by California at nearly 14,000 megawatts."
"It’s logically inconsistent to be pro–green energy and anti-construction. Yet that’s where the environmentalist movement seems to have landed in the U.S. It’s yet another indication of the completely incoherent energy agenda from the Left."
