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...

This would enable farmers to make money, preserve farmland, protect flora and fauna, and prevent pollution. With energy production, pollinator protection, and crop growth promotion, agrivoltaics, an innovative approach to solar power, has the potential to provide a reasonable answer to growing rural backlash against solar power, support insect populations, and maximize benefits for both agriculture and alternative energy industries, per recent reporting in CleanTechnica.

If you want to get in on massive solar savings but don't want to install your own panels, community solar might be right for your household. Solar panels are practically magic, turning abundant sunshine into free energy. They save owners a ton of money over time — but they do come with up-front installation costs not everyone can afford.

This is the easiest way to massively lower your electric bill — with no rooftop panels needed

Caitlin Tan wanted to breed her childhood horse, JP, because she’s been “amazing” — the type of animal any equestrian would be lucky to have once in a lifetime. 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.

 China has unveiled the world’s first meltdown-proof nuclear power plant, achieving a groundbreaking and potentially transformative feat in the field of nuclear energy.The plant, developed by researchers at Tsinghua University, represents a major leap forward in nuclear energy safety, which has been under scrutiny since the catastrophic meltdown at the Fukushima nuclear plant in Japan over a decade ago.Nuclear fission, which fires nuclear plants, generates extreme heat that poses substantial risks if not properly managed.Traditional nuclear plants face the risk of meltdown for this reason. If cooling systems in these plants fail, the reactors can overheat, potentially leading to...

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.”

Kraken and SolarEdge Light up Path to Cheaper, Cleaner Energy

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.
