The recent explosion in energy prices, driven by the high cost of fossil fuels, could increase household energy costs by £100bn in the next year alone. In many areas, like power generation, the case for net-zero investment is irrefutable. This summer's water shortages in Europe could dampen GDP growth by 0.25

But most jurisdictions use the broader term “clean energy,” which can also include resources like large hydroelectric generation and nuclear power. Many communities are switching to clean energy in order to save money, now that the cost calculation is increasingly in favor of renewables over fossil fuels.

Meanwhile, global warming-driven climate change, caused by our combustion of fossil fuels and slash-and-burn domestication of the landscape, crescendos increasingly toward catastrophe. Today, more than 70% of the electricity used in France is produced in nuclear power plants.

But that will require deploying renewables at an even faster pace than the current trajectory and increasing the utilization or load factor for those renewable energy projects, as well as converting coal-fired power plants to natural gas and growing hydro and nuclear power generation. “Coal will no longer be the king.”

It comes at a time in which private sector funding for larger nuclear power stations is proving to be extremely difficult. The selling point for nuclear is that it is a relatively low-carbon source of power that can replace fossil fuel electricity generation in the UK and elsewhere.

Despite fears about cost increases and low-sulfur fuel availability, the change was a success in terms of decreasing pollution that contributes to ocean acidification and harms the health of humans and marine life. What’s new? New regulations focused on CO2 are taking effect this year.

Weaker residential construction activity cooled the HVAC sector, and heat pump sales bore the brunt at a 16% decline compared to 2022.  Compared with CIM’s previous analyses, the current clean investment boom indicates a disproportionately positive impact on underserved and historically fossil fuel-dependent communities.
