Since 2019, Spain has doubled its wind and solar capacity, adding over 40 GW – […]
Consumers in five EU countries will save up to €8.5 billion on their energy bills this year, compared to those with the dirtiest energy mix. EU countries with the cleanest energy mix will be cushioned from the soaring price of oil and gas, as the war on Iran continues to highlight the true cost of […]
Countries continue to turn to renewables for national security despite Trump’s attacks on wind and solar. Clean energy generation surpassed the global rise in electricity demand in 2025, pushing fossil fuel power into reverse for the first time ever, according to a new report. Record growth in solar, especially in China and India, was a driving […]
Renewables have been touted as the silver bullet to tackling climate change, but can they withstand our warming planet? The war on Iran has unexpectedly ignited a renewables race, as Europe grapples with the reality of its fossil fuel reliance. Oil and gas prices have yo-yoed significantly in recent weeks due to the stranglehold Iran […]
French Prime Minister Sébastian Lecornu says electrification is now a concern of ‘national interest’ and no longer just about climate change. France wants to fast-track its electrification as the war on Iran continues to highlight the dangers of fossil fuel reliance. Europe’s oil and gas prices could remain high for a while, despite dips in […]
Politicians say that renewables must play a ‘central role’ in strengthening energy security, but a huge solar farm has been met with resistance. Plans to build what would become Europe’s largest solar farm have been plunged into doubt following “months of scrutiny”. The case for renewables looks stronger than ever, as the war on Iran […]
‘Right now we surrender vast swathes of land for crops that we simply burn in our cars’, said one expert.
