And I love hearing about new renewable electricity records as spring unfolds. A few recent examples for that last love: California scored a new record for total generation from renewable energy in mid-April and a new record for solar production in mid-May. New York just broke its solar record.

and is still larger than any individual renewable energy technology source for the same period. This is due to the extra energy needed as the temperatures go up and specially for extremely hot days and periods and heatwaves which have been commonplace in recent years. Through to April coal output stood at 8.3

A report commissioned by the Ontario Power Authority (now the Independent Electricity System Operator) identified 64 potential offshore wind power sites in the Great Lakes that could produce nearly 35,000 MW of electricity which is 50 per cent more than our current energy demand. This is completely doable. As the U.S.

Forecasts of cool weather and expectations of lower wind power output had driven up demand for more fossil-fuel produced energy. The EU’s emissions trading system forces manufacturers, power companies and airlines, to pay for each tonne of CO2 they emit, in an effort to reduce emissions and to meet climate targets.

Spring is a glorious time for renewable energy. Whatever the weather in March and beyond—in-like-a-lion blustery or out-like-a-lamb sunny—spring tends to be a season of strong electricity production from solar and wind in particular.

Natural CO2 refrigeration at the ice rinks to 100% renewables-powered venues are just some of the technologies implemented. Cooling ice rinks. For the first time at any Olympics, China is using CO2, collected from industrial waste gases, to cool ice rinks in its four ice sports venues. Fully powered by renewable energy.

However, much of the attention paid to the flood risk of power plant sites has centered on nuclear plants, which also require a water source for the creation of steam, as well as for keeping the plant cool in an emergency.
