Von der Leyen announced a plan to collect up to 140 billion euros in windfall profit taxes from energy companies that produce electricity at low cost, e.g. wind, solar, hydro and nuclear. Add this all up, and we’re seeing a perfect storm of high energy prices for years to come – unless Russian gas supplies resume. Source: IEA).

At the very least, utilities will need plans that can get them most of the way there, while rushing ahead with next-generation technologies: long-duration energy storage, small modular nuclear reactors or green hydrogen and methane to fuel natural gas peaker plants. Here's a look at the five largest U.S. Duke Energy.

You may count me among those who want to see society move beyond fossil fuels. We all know there are negative consequences associated with fossil fuel usage, such as the emission of carbon dioxide and various other pollutants. Most people drastically underestimate our ongoing dependence on fossil fuels.

All of these benefits can be captured with solar, wind, existing hydropower and lithium-ion battery technologies at projected 2030 prices, he added. The big question for studies like these is how their findings might be translated into action in expanding the U.S. transmission grid.

The time is therefore now to plan an orderly wind-down of fossil fuel assets and manage the impact on the global economy rather than try to sustain the unsustainable. The worst year for oil ever Oil fueled the 20th century. Many of us now believe it is not a matter of if, but when we will transition away from fossil fuels.
