If we are to protect the ocean, its marine ecosystems and the people who depend on them, we must address climate change at its root: the burning of fossil fuels for energy. But this cannot happen without clean-energy solutions, such as offshore wind and other marine renewables , that can replace them.

Some gas plant developers and their backers are talk ing up the prospect of burning hydrogen in the plants as a way to address carbon pollution and keep the plants from becoming irrelevant as we make the necessary transition to a low-carbon economy. And how would that approach compare to using renewable energy?

Change #1: 100% clean energy goals have spread At the beginning of 2018, the only state in the country with a 100% clean or renewable energy goal was Hawaii. Now, 22 states plus the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico have 100% clean energy goals on the books. billion dollars since the market began.

This process uses a lot of energy: producing 1 kilogram of metallurgical grade silicon requires 14-16 kWh of power, which is roughly equivalent to using your home oven for seven hours. Still, over their lifetimes, solar panels emit 25 times less carbon dioxide equivalent per kilowatt hour than coal-powered electricity.
