The European Energy Transition is well underway and accelerating
Despite what nay-sayers think and write all around, the energy transition in the European Union is well underway and it’s accelerating faster and faster.
Video : Energy efficiency’s time has finally arrived
A great Youtube video by the channel Just Have A Think shows how energy efficiency’s time has come. Let’s review all the facts and be optimistic for a while.
Can China’s emissions actually peak in 2024 ?
As the world’s largest greenhouse gases emitter, China’s actions on climate change are paramount to our common survival. Lucky us, not only things are trending in the right direction, they are also accelerating in both energy generation and transportation.
Will global fossil fuels emissions really peak this year ?
The latest IEA annual World Energy Outlook offers some serious glimmers of hope, but a enormous task lies ahead. Now more than ever we need to roll up our sleeves and create the future we deserve.
Renewable energy generation to surpass coal next year
Things are accelerating on one front and it’s good news : the energy transition of electricity generation is becoming more tangible a reality every day.
Solar and wind to account for a third of global electricity by 2030
According to new research by the Rocky Mountain Institute, solar and wind are set to cover a third of global electricity generation by 2030, up from 12% today.
Renewables already beat fossil fuels in the European Union
During the month of May, solar and wind power generated more electricity (30.6%) than fossil fuels (27.3%) in the European Union. And it’s only the beginning.
Renewables are now an unstoppable juggernaut
The evidence is piling : solar and wind are now an unstoppable juggernaut and fossil fuels are on their way out. How fast the global energy transition is just up to us.
We are drowning in wasted resources and it’s killing us.
Our entire society is built on wasting everything, including the most basic necessities : energy, water and food. The very first step towards actual sustainability is to drastically slash the amount of waste in these three.
