Clean energy is growing, but so is planet-heating pollution
The Verge: Energy
MARCH 1, 2024
Severe drought, particularly in the US and China, led to an “exceptional shortfall” in hydropower in 2023, the IEA found. Power grids usually tap fossil fuel power plants whenever hydropower runs low. That alone was enough to account for 40 percent of the rise in emissions last year.
