In 2020, the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) released a report that sent shockwaves through the job market: the renewable energy sector is expected to create 24 million new jobs globally by 2030, outpacing the entire oil and gas industry. This staggering statistic has far-reaching implications, not just for the environment, but for the future…
When it comes to community solar projects, the idea of sharing the benefits of solar energy with neighbors and community members seems like a win-win. However, a closer look at the numbers and the fine print reveals a more complex reality. In fact, community solar projects are often designed in a way that excludes those…
Imagine it’s the year 2050, and the world has finally reached a tipping point. Climate change, once a looming threat, has been brought under control, thanks in large part to the relentless efforts of green investors and innovators. Cities are powered by 100% renewable energy, carbon emissions have plummeted, and the air is crisp and…
As the world grapples with the existential threat of climate change, the concept of emission-free goals has become a rallying cry for environmentalists, policymakers, and innovators alike. But can we really get there? Can we truly create a world where our daily activities no longer contribute to the devastating impact of greenhouse gas emissions? The…
