A great Youtube video by the channel Just Have A Think shows how energy efficiency’s time has come. Let’s review all the facts and be optimistic for a while.
As the world’s largest greenhouse gases emitter, China’s actions on climate change are paramount to our common survival. Lucky us, not only things are trending in the right direction, they are also accelerating in both energy generation and transportation.
The latest IEA annual World Energy Outlook offers some serious glimmers of hope, but a enormous task lies ahead. Now more than ever we need to roll up our sleeves and create the future we deserve.
Things are accelerating on one front and it’s good news : the energy transition of electricity generation is becoming more tangible a reality every day.
According to new research by the Rocky Mountain Institute, solar and wind are set to cover a third of global electricity generation by 2030, up from 12% today.
During the month of May, solar and wind power generated more electricity (30.6%) than fossil fuels (27.3%) in the European Union. And it’s only the beginning.
The evidence is piling : solar and wind are now an unstoppable juggernaut and fossil fuels are on their way out. How fast the global energy transition is just up to us.
Our entire society is built on wasting everything, including the most basic necessities : energy, water and food. The very first step towards actual sustainability is to drastically slash the amount of waste in these three.
In recent years, the French capital has seen some serious improvements on its cycling infrastructure and biking has increasingly become part of daily life and commuting.
