Offshore wind turbines are getting bigger and bigger – and many of them now float – here’s how we stop them drifting away.
Solar power is growing at 20% a year. That simple fact could change the world for the better in under a decade
Meet the Canary Wharf-sized wind turbine with Big Ben-sized blades.
Some of the most powerful offshore wind is over water too deep for a standard wind turbine. Engineers found a way around the problem.
Australia must map out the best sites for generating the most electricity with the least environmental impact.
Australia is already in the grip of a skills shortage. We’re going to have to solve that before we can start on the big renewables build.
While a US transition to renewable energy by 2030 is possible, streamlined policies with clear goals and incentives are necessary to get there, says an industrial engineering professor.
The soaring power prices expected to hit Australians are yet another reason the Albanese government should turbocharge its efforts on renewable energy and storage.
The regionalism that fuels the Red Sox-Yankees rivalry is also found in U.S. attitudes about energy production, a new study shows. That could have repercussions for the renewable energy transition.
Failure to make the most of Britain’s abundant renewables will mean a costly and unreliable energy supply.
Australia has finally opened the regulatory doors to offshore wind farms. What do we need to do to make the roll out fast and build supply chains?
The coming year will reveal if the country is serious about developing its wind energy.
Renewable energy is expanding at a record pace, but still not fast enough. Here are the key areas to watch for progress in bringing more wind and solar into the power grid in 2022.
Millions of years of on-off ice ages have left behind a mix of different sediments.
Subsidies could help kickstart cost cutting and innovation in this prohibitively expensive industry.
Wind turbines need building, heat pumps need installing – but Britain has a chronic skills shortage.
From its inadequate safety provisions to vague wording around Native Title rights and interests, the bill leaves us wanting.
Offshore renewable energy installations could provide so much more than just clean electricity.
More than ten offshore wind farms are currently proposed for Australia. If built, their combined capacity would be greater than all coal-fired power plants in the nation.
