What can the history of Earth’s climate tell us about its future, and what is the relationship between climate change and the economy?

Each state and country has its own unique set of resources and energy transition challenges, so there are different speeds and techniques for each one.

What is PURPA and why are utilities trying to change it in their fight against solar? What are the legal issues in around-market reforms?

Is the net energy of renewables high enough to actually power human civilization? Or will low EROIs doom energy transition?

Utility Dive editor Gavin Bade explains how independent power producers are using around-market reforms and re-regulation to survive energy transition.

This deep dive into ocean science reveals how we take the Earth’s temperature, the truth about the “Climategate” business, and the “Pausebuster” paper.

How will Australia manage its energy transition, with both the most residential rooftop solar PV per capita, and the second-dirtiest power grid in the world?

What are the hard problems and interesting questions on the road to energy transition, and what are their solutions? An astronaut and professor has answers.

Corporations have emerged as some of the top buyers of renewable electricity, even buying it from wind and solar farms in other states. But why are they doing that when they could just buy grid power? And how do “virtual PPAs” work, anyway? Erin Craig has the answers.
