And fossil fuel power plants may not stick to their retirement schedules for a variety of reasons. GW of gas capacity set to retire, but also slightly outpacing the planned additions of wind power. degrees Celsius, coal power should be entirely phased out by 2030. A bit more on those reasons later.

During the month of May, solar and wind power generated more electricity (30.6%) than fossil fuels (27.3%) in the European Union for the first time in history. In the meantime, fossil fuels went from 40-50 percent to less than 30 percent. Now here is the latest piece of evidence, from Ember.

While a wind-powered cargo vessel may seem like a 19 th Century idea, the Grain de Sail may be a herald of a greener future rather than a nostalgic nod to the past. Thanks for signing up for Ocean Conservancy emails. The post Wind-powered Cargo Vessel Holds Hope for a Greener Future appeared first on Ocean Conservancy.

Glen Canyon Dam is now operating at about 60 percent of its designed hydroelectric capacity, according to Nick Williams, the Upper Colorado River Basin power office manager for the Bureau of Reclamation. Rated for 1,320 megawatts — roughly the size of a large fossil fuel plant — the dam is now capable of only 800 megawatts.

I was joined by Ocean Conservancy colleagues working to advance ocean-climate action. In order to reduce emissions, we must phase out fossil fuels—oil, coal and gas—and move towards renewable energy and less plastic and petrochemical production since these products, so dangerous as ocean pollutants, are made from oil.

This is a signal not only of the country’s unhealthy reliance on fossil fuels but also a failure to move away from gas in a way that other countries have done successfully. UK’s hugely inefficient housing stock means most homes and buildings do a very poor job of conserving heat. Now such a crisis has arisen again.

We all know that to successfully address climate change we need to phase out fossil fuels and switch to electric power. A s we transition our homes and vehicles to electric power, it’s imperative that the electricity sector be clean. The costs of wind and solar power have been dropping like a stone.
