The renewable energy transition involves harnessing epic forces of nature. Sleek solar panels forged from silver and silica from the depths of the Earth translate the sun’s blindingly fiery light energy into electricity. Once the battery looks up to code, it is off to the grid to power our renewable energy future!

On August 9, the Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority announced it would be committing to the purchase of wind power and the use of clean energy to support the production and operations of water services. PWSA holds the largest share at 30% of the total, underlining our strong commitment to sustainable energy practices. “It

These would be astounding news if it were coupled with increased efforts in sufficiency, efficiency and conservation (cf How can we quickly slash energy consumption is a trillion-dollar question …) But back to our energy revolution. I wrote about it before, both solar photovoltaic and wind power are on exponential curves.

The Energy Foundation China predicts that Inner Mongolia will be one of the last provinces to reach peak carbon, sometime between 2026 and 2030. Coal-chemical plants, for example, could switch to using hydrogen from renewable energy for producing chemicals such as methanol and alkenes. An urgent need for change.

Critics of wind and solar routinely raise concerns about how much land would be required to decarbonize the US power sector. This would require 1,400 to 10,100 miles of new high-capacity lines per year, assuming new construction began in 2026. Fortunately, the answer is relatively little. times current levels by 2035.

Converting the Belle River plant: DTE proposes to switch its Belle River plant from coal to fossil gas fuel in 2025 and 2026, saying that the plant would run only in limited amounts following the transition but could be kept in operation until 2040. DTE currently has 3,000 MW of existing and approved solar and wind resources.)
