Debate continues to rage in the Ohio Legislature over legislation that would help nuclear plants continue to produce low-carbon electricity, while also supporting renewables. But failure to enact Bill 6 would also lead to more deaths as coal and gas would be replacing the nuclear power.

For over a decade , the federal solar investment tax credit, more simply know as the ITC, has been a major catalyst for the solar industry's growth and one of the largest forces incentivizing solar installations across the nation. Thanks in part to the ITC, commercial solar adoption has increased exponentially. But now, this lucrative incentive is about to start getting much smaller.

In today's industrial landscape, the pursuit of sustainable energy optimization and decarbonization has become paramount. Manufacturing corporations across the U.S. are facing the urgent need to align with decarbonization goals while enhancing efficiency and productivity. Unfortunately, the lack of comprehensive energy data poses a significant challenge for manufacturing managers striving to meet their targets.

Solar energy sector is the fastest growing renewable energy sector worldwide. It has been estimated that the global solar energy market could grow by 25% in 2019. In U.S. alone, solar power is expected to provide more than 30% of all new U.S. electric capacity. China, the world's largest solar energy market with the total installation of 45 GW at the end of 2018, is expected to experience growth of PV installations by 2%, even despite the uncertainties of the new solar support scheme which is ye

Put simply, ocean acidification is the imbalance of chemical content in ocean water; whereby there is increased acidity, and upward temperature changes. Water with a pH,of 7 is pure. The closer it gets to 0, the more acidic the water is, and the closer it gets to 14, the more basic it is. The ocean has experienced a 26% pH drop in the last century. Ocean acidification has negative effects on sea-life and the ecosystem.

Energy generation and consumption is rapidly transforming into a decentralized, decarbonized, and digitized model due to a number of market forces. The declining costs of solar energy systems, as well as the increasing price of energy from the grid has led to grid parity. This has caused PV proliferation to accelerate to such an extent that in the past five years alone, PV installed capacity has increased by 300%.

With the first wave of the energy transition, renewable energy sources (such as solar and wind) have begun replacing coal power generation. However, some sectors are lagging behind and struggling to decarbonize more than others, including large-scale transportation like commercial aviation, shipping, and rail transit. Electrofuels (aka eFuels) are the next generation of solutions to help the hardest-to-abate sectors pivot from their reliance on fossil fuels.

According to a review by the SUN DAY Campaign of data just released by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), within the past month, the agency has dramatically revised its three-year forecast for changes in the U.S. electrical generating capacity mix. Sharp declines are foreseen for fossil fuels and nuclear power while accompanied by even stronger growth in renewable energy (i.e., biomass, geothermal, hydropower, solar, wind) than earlier projected.

In April 2019, in the heart of coal country, Indiana regulators rejected a proposal by its electric and gas utility, Vectren, to replace baseload coal plants with a new $900 million, 850 megawatt (MW) natural gas-fired power plant. Regulators were concerned that with the dramatic decline in the cost of renewable energy, maturation of energy storage and rapidly changing customer demand, such a major gas plant investment could become a stranded, uneconomic asset in the future.

Chris Carter and James Peisker had a major beef with the meat industry working in Nashville’s restaurant and catering scene. The pair were committed to sourcing and serving all of their foods directly from the farm, but were spending long hours in the car looking for high quality, ethically farmed meats. Even when they found nearby farmers they wanted to buy from, they still had their doubts that the processing facilities were giving them the meats they had ordered.
