Experts expect the wind business to remain brisk in the US and abroad, on land and offshore.
Lowering your carbon footprint by living off-grid is a sustainability dream. But how possible is it using current technology?
There’s little point in saving electricity at times when the marginal cost of generating it is effectively zero.
Sun, wind, waste biomass, geothermal, tides and waves: all these energy sources in Sydney’s backyard add up to a zero-carbon energy solution for the city.
The energy debate in Australia is making daily headlines. This glossary of the energy debate is our attempt to decipher the language behind the debate in simple terms.
Electricity storage is vital to the stability of a renewable energy grid. The world’s favourite form of storage is pumped hydro – and researchers have located thousands of candidate sites.
Offshore wind is an expensive business to get into.
How fast can the US transition to clean energy and with what energy sources? Here’s why an impassioned debate among energy wonks matters to the rest of us.
Wind turbines kill some birds, but their contribution to total bird deaths is extremely low, as three studies show.
Chief Scientist Alan Finkel has attempted to address the energy ‘trilemma’: electricity that’s cheap, reliable and low-emissions. Has he succeeded? Our expert panel weighs in.
Just when you thought wind farms were bad for house prices everywhere, a new piece of research from Scotland suggests otherwise.
