It’s not renewables that are causing Australia’s electricity over-capacity, its old and dirty coal-fired generators. AGL Energy says three quarters of the country’s coal plants are past their used-by date and should be retired.
IRENA calls on govts to adapt and invest as world makes inevitable – and climate driven –  shift to renewable energy and decentralised grids.
IRENA graph illustrates that renewables have more power to generate short, medium and long-term employment than fossil fuels.
Absent the carbon price, we need to mitigate the temptation to repay borrowings of future emissions with the dirtiest energy generation on the market.
ASC-led Save Solar campaign launches television ad targeting regional voters in Queensland and Victoria in lead up to state elections.
With plug-in car sales growing in leaps and bounds, their annual battery use already trumps the annual battery use of hybrids, but what about all time use?
Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles like the Holden Volt could cut transport emissions and help smooth electricity demand. But is Australia ready for them?
U.S. solar market hit a major milestone in the second quarter of this year, with more than a half-million homes and businesses now generating solar energy.
Unlocking shale gas comes with a significant environmental risk: access to freshwater for drinking, agriculture, and industrial use.
