After evaluating 500,000 solar adopters across the U.S., the researchers found that the average energy burden for solar customers was 2.6%. A new study released by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory revealed the impressive impact of solar energy on reducing household energy burden, according to an article published in Renewable Energy Magazine.

Most people need to save money at the moment, and anything that makes it easier to do that at the same time as helping to save the planet has got to be a winner.And that’s why solar panels are becoming an increasingly popular choice for homeowners – installing the panels provides you with free, renewable, low-carbon electricity, and you can also sell any surplus energy to the grid, or store it for later use.Last year, the low-carbon certification organisation MCS recorded more than 220,500 solar panel installations, and sustainable energy experts Solar Together says installations rose by 30% in 2023.Lower...

If you’ve been following the electric vehicle (EV) scene, you might have heard some concerning news about SK On, the South Korean battery manufacturer. They’ve hit a bit of a rough patch due to lower-than-expected sales of electric vehicles in key markets like Europe and the U.S. Let's dive into what’s going on and why it matters.

Battery Manufacturer Declares Urgency Due to Low EV Sales, Says Financial Times

There’s a recurring fantasy running through Dinaw Mengestu’s new novel, Someone Like Us: It’s a fantasy about a word-of-mouth, nation-wide network of taxi cabs that would come to the aid of "immigrants, migrants, refugees, anyone who was in the wrong place and needed to be somewhere else but didn’t know how to get there.” The drivers would be immigrants themselves and, therefore, more trustworthy to their nervous passengers.

'Someone Like Us' is a fresh, idiosyncratic novel about immigrating to the U.S.

Having access to coveted bloodlines increased the allure. Via the Miller Ranch, she could pair her 18-year-old mare with a stud descendent of Playboy’s Buck Fever.

How long do residential solar batteries last?

To get away from our society's reliance on fossil fuels, we need to keep innovating new ways to harness and use renewable energy — and a team of scientists from Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden is doing just that. After nearly 10 years of work, the scientists have discovered a unique way to harness solar energy, put it in storage for up to a decade, and later release it as heat, as reported by Bloomberg.

The extent to which renewables should dominate Australia’s energy grids is a major issue in science and politics. Solar and wind are clearly now the cheapest form of electricity. But limits to these technologies can undermine the case for a renewables-only electricity mix.

The challenges posed by solar and wind generators are real. They are inherently variable, producing electricity only when the sun is shining and the wind is blowing. To ensure reliable energy supplies, grids dominated by renewables need “firming” capacity: back-up technology that can supply electricity on demand.

Some, including the Albanese government, argue gas-fired generators are needed to fill...

With an assassination attempt on Donald Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania on July 13, 2024, the U.S. experienced another violent episode in its increasingly polarized politics. Former President Trump, who’s about to formally become the GOP nominee for president in the 2024 election, survived the attempted assassination when, initial reports said, a bullet grazed his ear . But one rally attendee was killed , more spectators were injured and the suspected gunman is also dead. The Conversation’s politics editor, Naomi Schalit, spoke with University of Massachusetts, Lowell, scholar Arie Perliger after the event. Perliger offered insight from his study of political violence and assassinations. Given the stark political polarization in the U.S., Perliger said, “it’s not a surprise that eventually people engage in violence.”
