Canadians are — and will remain — among the biggest consumers of energy over the next decade even as policies ramp up to make the country more energy-efficient, a global energy forecast suggests.
With the Arctic warming twice as fast as the rest of the planet, Nunavut is trying to confront climate change by cutting its reliance on diesel-generated electricity — but high costs put the switch to solar out of reach for many.
Almost two-thirds of wind and solar projects built globally last year will be able to generate cheaper electricity than even the world’s cheapest new coal plants, according to a report from the International Renewable Energy Agency.
Vehicle-to-grid initiatives — where electric vehicles store power and feed it back to the electrical grid in times of high demand — could help local utilities better meet people's needs.
Over the last six months, Canada's National Observer has been looking into what's working and what's failing in cities as they rise to the challenge of tackling climate change. In a 13-part series, we will be taking you across the country, province by province, for a look at how cities are meeting the climate emergency with sustainable solutions. We start with this overview.
The federal government is shilling for small modular reactors as a climate change solution, but environmentalists fear nuclear waste makes the risks too great.
New wind and solar power projects in China, Europe and the U.S. spurred a 45 per cent rise in the rate of new renewable energy capacity, according to the International Energy Agency.
