Introduction One of the main messages coming out of the recent COP28 meetings in the UAE concerns the role that nuclearpower can play in the future of cleanenergy development around the world. The hope is that this encourages international financial institutions to include nuclearenergy in loans for energy projects.
We also evaluated the potential to accelerate the use of renewable energy dramatically through state-level renewable electricity standards, which have been major drivers of cleanenergy in recent decades. What job opportunities would this cleanenergy transition create? In the no-new-policy scenario, it drops to 3.3
That means that any renewable energy generation will supply a larger portion of demand. That lower-than-expected electricity demand also makes spring (and the other “shoulder” season, fall) the go-to seasons for fossil fuel and nuclearpower plants to go offline for scheduled maintenance—or refueling, in the case of the nuclear plants.
This sparked a lot of concerns because it was just a few months after the March 2011 meltdown of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant in Japan. The public was thankfully not harmed by the Nebraska incident, but this was unfortunately not an isolated incident in terms of flood risks posed to the US nuclearpower fleet.
By Anders Lorenzen Tenders for 250 gigawatts (GW) of cleanenergy by 2028 are set to be unveiled by the Indian government, according to a government memo. Overall, India is also looking to boost its share of non-fossil capacity, which can include big hydro and nuclear to 50% by 2030. Photo credit: Reuters / Amit Dave.
According to the Department of Energy (“DOE”), PEM electrolyzers can operate “effectively at a range of loads with sub-second response times,” making them “particularly compatible with variable energy sources, such as sun and windpower.” What’s with the colors? I’ve mentioned green and grey hydrogen. Steelmaking.
As noted in a letter to Governor Cuomo and legislative leaders from a large coalition of environmental groups: The wise stewardship of RGGI funds has ensured the deployment and use of renewable energy and efficiency initiatives.
ERCOT also expected, during peak demand events in winter, to have power from wind represent about 27% of installed wind capacity. In its most severe appraisal of the loss of wind capacity, ERCOT expected 8% of windpower compared to capacity. I believe the U.S. But if the U.S.
Owners of fossil fuel-fired power plants that supply electricity to New York and two trade associations filed an action in the federal district court for the Southern District of New York challenging the New York Public Service Commission’s (PSC’s) plan to provide “Zero Emissions Credits” to four nuclearpower plants.
Let’s together get control over our energy supply chain so Putin and the Saudis can no longer control our destiny and our wallets. We have made a start by expanding our windpower, extending our nuclearpower, pushing hard to get access to Canadian hydro power, and making our homes more energy efficient—that’s less costs and carbon free.
Exus chose to repower the facility thanks to the cleanenergy plan’s 30% production tax credits for American windpower. Click Here to learn about more investments in cleanenergy in Pennsylvania. billion in new cleanenergy investments in Pennsylvania supporting 2,881 new jobs. Read more here.
4] Meanwhile, many experts see in recent trends an inevitable transition away from coal and nuclearpower plants, designed to function as baseload capacity, toward variable renewable energy sources with just-in-time natural gas back-up. 41] Most proponents of variable renewable energy thus look elsewhere for storage solutions.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz (left) visits a hybrid power plant where “green” hydrogen is made using windpower and fed into the gas grid. Germany is not doing all it can to cut back energy use and increase economic pressure on Russia, argues Arne Jungjohann. Photo credit: Fabian Sommer / Alamy. By Arne Jungjohann.

The most direct of these is imposed on certain fossil fuel power plants by requiring them to purchase carbon dioxide emissions allowances as part of the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative. The others, established through New York’s CleanEnergy Standard, compensate renewable generators and nuclear plants for their low-carbon attributes.
He also said that the Inflation Reduction Act would worsen inflation, harm economic growth, drive up energy costs for consumers, and make the energy system less reliable. But, he says, “we’re not yet at the point innovation-wise where we can rely mostly on intermittent, renewable sources to power electric grids.”
Trump vociferously favors fossil fuels and has criticized renewables, especially windpower and electric vehicles. But renewables have powerful corporate champions and trade associations with support across the aisle in Washington, D.C. He might relax enforcement of environmental rules or seek new subsidies for fossil fuels.

At the same time, the natural gas industry was in disarray, coal burning was damaging the environment, and the nuclearpower industry collapsed. We were clearly in a period of energy crisis, but no energy emergency was called. First, and most importantly, the United States became energy independent.
Finally, a word on the stark choice America is faced with now embrace a cleanenergy future or double down on the fossil fuel industries of the past. He has long railed against windpower (both onshore and offshore), and he repeated many of these claims at his post-Inauguration rally at the Capital One Center on January 20, 2025.
