WIND AND SOLAR TOP 10% OF GLOBAL POWER GENERATION FOR FIRST TIME – EQ Mag Pro
Renewables made a record contribution to global grids in 2021, but coal-fired power and emissions jumped to new highs, according to BloombergNEF’s Power Transition Trends London, São Paulo : The world’s wind and solar projects combined to meet more than a tenth of global electricity demand for the first time in 2022, according to research […]
The Big Weird Batteries That May Help Avert Climate Catastrophe – EQ Mag Pro
As the planet gets hotter, engineers are racing to find ways to store renewable energy on a massive scale—before it’s too late. Burning fossil fuels churned out by Big Oil can power the world 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, sending electricity almost anywhere near-instantaneously. Unfortunately, this very effective (and profitable) source of […]
