As the world grapples with the effects of climate change and the depletion of fossil fuels, the quest for renewable energy sources has gained paramount importance. In this pursuit, solar energy has emerged as a beacon of hope, offering a clean and sustainable alternative to traditional energy sources. For those looking to understand their energy consumption better, tools like this kilowatt-hours to amp-hours calculator can be invaluable. Among the sun-soaked regions leading the charge towards a greener future is Tenerife, a Spanish …
Solar Energy in the Canary Islands
With the massive acceptance, adoption, and utilization of solar energy among several countries across the world, even small territories such as the Canary Islands are turning towards solar energy sources for their electricity needs. Installing solar panels on buildings does not take long, and over the past decades, the Canary Islands have increased their electricity generation and, consequently, consumption via renewable energy sources.
In 2019, the Canary Islands generated about 16% of its total energy consumption from renewable energies. A year later, this grew to 17.5%, and it’s speculated to grow further in subsequent …
ACC’s Vote on Energy Rules Update Falls Short
ACC’s promise to having Arizona’s utilities accomplish a 50% decrease in carbon emissions by 2032 is a great start for supporting the state to confront climate change while taking advantage of green energy’s economic potential. Yet, the 2070 deadline falls way short of the timescale required, according to experts, to prevent the worst effects of global warming.
It is vital to set a deadline of no later than 2050 for ending the destructive fossil fuel consumption that drives climate change…
Nevada to Support Clean Energy Economy
Conservationists praised the approval of Senate Bill 448 by the Nevada Legislature. The bill is intended to connect electric utility programs and investments with statewide climate goals. The comprehensive bill will then be signed by the Governor and put into effect.
SB 448 would address critical concerns such as energy transition, electric vehicles, solar energy, sustainable electricity, renewable power storage, power efficiency, and other domains. It will provide the groundwork for Nevada’s future energy sector. Nevada is taking significant steps to expand its electric transportation and power infrastructure…
Attorney General and Conservation Groups Push Regulators to Acknowledge Climate Change
New Mexico Attorney General Hector Balderas, together with environmental and community organizations, filed a petition seeking that the city’s Public Regulatory Commission accept the scientific facts behind climate change.
The petition explicitly requests that the commission recognize that climate change is driven by humankind, which increases greenhouse gases. The burning of fossil resources used by energy plants, automobiles, buildings, and industries is a major contributor to greenhouse gas …
