Phasing out fossils fuels would go a long way to stopping dangerous climate change – but it might be harder than we thought.

Renewable energy has had a rough time in Australia. Good climate policy could fix that.
When will residential solar be cheaper than the cost of power from the grid? This point of ‘grid parity’ is a moving target but moving closer in a number of places.
Energy Minister Josh Frydenberg told Q&A that Australia has the highest number of solar panels on people’s roofs per capita anywhere in the world. Is that right?
Utilities are pushing back against the spread of rooftop solar power and charging bigger fees to solar homes. Who is right in this solar-versus-utilities fight?
The ‘early adopters’ of home battery storage will pay significantly more than those who come later, but it won’t be long until prices drop enough for many more to get on board.
The wind and solar industries scored a huge win by getting extended tax credits, but research shows this isn’t the best policy for lowering emissions through renewable energy.
Solar power is a key piece of South Africa’s energy puzzle.
Solar panels and roads — combining them just makes sense to help meet our clean energy needs, right? Maybe not quite.
Updated forecasts from CSIRO suggest electricity prices will continue to rise as more renewable energy enters the grid.
South Africa has been slow to adopt renewable energy sources. One option, which has proved successful elsewhere, would be to install solar photovoltaic panels on rooftops in low-income areas.
Solar is a vital piece of the energy puzzle for Africa, but there is an insect problem that comes with the light from solar.
The massive Ivanpah solar power plant uses natural gas – even more than it expected last year. It’s not ideal, but solar power and natural gas are a powerful, and relatively ‘green,’ combination.
Many utilities see rooftop solar as a threat, but solar power can actually lower the cost of power they – and their consumers – need to pay during hours of high demand.
Study shows that many of the utility-scale solar power plants in California have been placed near protected and environmentally sensitive lands.
New funding for large-scale solar could be backing a winner, but only with the right leadership.
Internoise is the world’s premier research conference for acousticians. The 2015 meeting is being held right now in San Francisco. Buried among the hundreds of papers is one that you could easily take…
Hillary Clinton’s renewable energy plan is ambitious but, on a technical level, doable. Would it foster more solar technology innovation?
Environment minister Greg Hunt wants the Clean Energy Finance Corporation to focus on new technologies, not wind and solar. But that’s not what it was set up to do, and Australia already has an agency for that.
Rwanda requires the use of renewable energy to power up healthcare clinics in rural parts of the country.
