So how’s this for a benchmark: Sunday, 8 May, at 11am in the morning, 95 percent of Germany’s power demands were met by renewable energy sources. Quite an achievement for one of the most developed and industrialised nations in the world.
Unlike the fossil fuels that still provide the bulk of the U.S. power supply, solar panels generate electricity with no air or carbon pollution, no ash or other waste products, and no inputs other than sunlight. While the manufacturing of solar panels, like all other energy devices, involves emissions, PV electricity generation itself: generates no…

Two new federal government reports underscore not only the continued rapid growth of renewable energy sources (i.e.,biomass, geothermal, hydropower, solar, wind) in the electric power sector but also the ongoing failure of government forecasts to accurately anticipate and predict that growth. In the first 2016 issue of its monthly “Energy Infrastructure Update” report, the Federal…
If our transition to renewable energy is successful, we will achieve savings in the ongoing energy expenditures needed for economic production. We will be rewarded with a quality of life that is acceptable—and, perhaps, preferable to our current one (even though, for most Americans, material consumption will be scaled back from its current unsustainable level).…
