Fort Worth’s Emerge Energy Services said it is buying a small sand facility south of San Antonio to transform it into a much larger mine to serve the hydraulic fracturing needs of the oil sec…
Lower fossil fuel prices have historically thrashed solar, wind and biomass markets. So why are clean energy companies unconcerned about the current trend?
Solar and wind produce temporary power gluts that drive out other sources that are needed to maintain stable supplies. Worse, they are helping push nuclear power into bankruptcy.
Natural gas is vital to the future of wind and solar power.
Arguments against wind and solar PV conclude that these resources will need greater subsidies to survive in the “duck curve” era. But instead, we can tap the latent power of supply diversity, demand flexibility, storage, and market design to level the playing field for all resources, rather than clinging to the premises of the 20th century grid.
Natural gas pipeline giant Kinder Morgan details why natural gas is the key to growing renewables in the U.S.
Building renewable plants from scratch has become cheaper in some parts of the country than operating old coal-fired plants.
Solar energy offers immense growth opportunities, and utilities could play "a great role" if they get their acts together.
Experts are banking on solar and hydrogen fuel as the future of green energy, but it might not be an easy ride.
Ya know, it’s always something. Scientists and grid operators are currently struggling with developing a response plan for solar storms, which could cause widespread power outages. In fact, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is working on a detailed study to document and quantify the risk. Why is the USGS focused on this? It is because […]
A new report from Bloomberg New Energy Finance shows that continued cost reductions for renewable energy sources like wind and solar and new technologies like batteries are continuing to squeeze out the traditional role that has been played by fossil fuel energy sources.
The first installment of a new monthly column on public policy and sustainable business.
BP publishes its outlook for the world's energy future: Renewables and battery storage play an important role, but so do oil and gas with new extraction techniques.
Alternative energy sources to fossil fuels have been around for many years. Wind, solar and tidal power have all been [...]
Cheaper wind and solar aren’t lowering wholesale prices. New market constructs may be needed to realize their potential.
Residential renewable energy is on the rise. Whether it’s solar, wind, or something else sustainable, these sources are necessary to stop ongoing
Who’s embracing wind? Solar? Geothermal? These countries could provide blueprints for the worldwide shift to renewable energy.
Solar and wind projects are the least expensive way for utilities to add new power generation. And that's changing how utilities plan to operate.
Electricity systems need to be more resilient to the effects of global warming and more flexible as they incorporate rising levels of solar and wind power
"...we are not adding wind and solar fast enough and we can never add them fast enough without risking a grid meltdown..."
The new ballot measures would allow people to shave costs off their energy bills by using personal solar panels and require new buildings to be more energy efficient.
