Clean Energy and Smart Grids: Where Are We Now?
Smart grids can make it possible to combine multiple types of renewable energy sources, and create a more powerful and comprehensive system.
The Dark Side of Sustainable Technology and How We Can Fix It
Solar power, wind power, and electric cars are high-end products and the result of long, complex production chains. Until we change the way those chains work, the footprint of clean technology may continue to have an unpleasant dark side. The bottom-up change is absolutely achievable.
Renewable Energy Progress: Reasons to Hope
Contrary to what the current administration would have us believe, renewables are the most cost-effective, economically beneficial options for energy sourcing and infrastructure going forward.
We Need to Reevaluate Our Relationship With Oil
Given rising prices, dwindling supply and environmental hazards, the United States desperately needs to reevaluate its relationship with oil…
How the GOP Tax Plan Could Hurt Clean Energy Industry
The effects of cuts to federal clean energy initiatives under Trump will leave us, at best, with energy shortages and rolling blackouts, and at worst, lagging woefully behind the rest of the world in terms of energy production.
