Coal-chemical plants, for example, could switch to using hydrogen from renewable energy for producing chemicals such as methanol and alkenes. There is huge potential for developing renewable energy in Inner Mongolia, which could be used to power other industries. Power importers are likely to prefer green power.

Recently, two competing plans to reform California’s four-tier electricity rate structure of the three investor-owned utilities (IOUs) [1] have emerged from the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). Under the current tariff system, customers who use more electricity are charged significantly higher rates per kilowatt-hour (kWh). [4]

The US solar industry was valued at $33 billion in 2021, employed more than 230,000 people, and continued to grow in power capacity at an average rate of 33 percent per year. Solar panels generated almost 4 percent of electricity in the US in 2021, up from less than 1 percent in 2015. Meet your solar panel.

Advocates of renewable energy have argued since the 1970s that the variable, weather-dependent nature of sunlight and wind is a modest obstacle at best to relying on 100 percent renewables. Some have argued that weather-dependent energies would, paradoxically, make electricity even more reliable.

Coal power, from mining to generation, is among the thirstiest and most polluting ways to produce electricity. Eliminating coal from the world’s energy mix is a no-brainer for climate policy and a win for water, as well as for human lungs. That affects water use because most thermal power plants need water for cooling.

SG: One great example of progress is the dramatic decline in coal-fired electricity in the United States. Over the last decade, coal generation dropped 40 percent while wind and solar use nearly quadrupled. Over the last decade, coal generation dropped 40 percent while wind and solar use nearly quadrupled. It’s a big deal.
